Your car looks very nice. Whay are you changing the exhaust? I changed mine (1996 C2) because I wanted a better sound - just had cat bypass pipes (£200) fitted and I'm really pleased with it - a nice burble at tickover and sounds great when you wind it up, but not intrusive if cruising.

Powespeed in Ashford, Kent are pretty good. A bunch of guys on 911uk are presently looking to set up a group buy for 100 cell sports cats to be fitted. A little (very little) less mass, a lot more noise including cracks and pops, and around +10 hp could be yours for less that 600 pounds. I was up there the other week listening to some 993s they'd done, and they were also doing a number of caterhams and a lovely ultima GTR.

I would like to be part of the group buy, can you pls point me in the right direction? Who to contact? Can't run cat bypass forever...

The exhaust has not been changed from new and frankly there is nowt wrong with except a) the right hand end piece has been refitted badly and is about 1.5 inches shirter than tge left and b) the left hand end oiece has fallen off so need to do something anyway!

I was thinking of doing something different, i am not looking to race the car or take ut to another signifucant power upgrade but looking fir something tgat sounds a bit more throaty and looks right on the car.

Hope that helps

:-)

Is that the system made in Ethiopia, or a misspelling of the one from Germany wrapped in cellophane?

Dont know, didnt have the car long enough to know how to spell it....car got nicked, what I do know is it sounded wonderful, but the invoice for it was nearly 5K.

Apparently my humour was not only in poor taste but also too subtle.

Either I think.

But Gemballa is one L of a dead tuner since he got shrink-wrapped. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/porsche...

Just the word I used. Not a nice way to leave this planet.

Did you read the bit below in the replies. Have no idea about if theres any truth in it, but something about cash in the car ... or not, and a Czech badman.
