I looked into getting a PSE retro fitted but at over £4k that's really not an option so I was thinking something more like this at Design911

OP,if you are interested in the modified Carnewal cans,you could possibly keep your eyes open for a 2nd hand set on fleabay & get them shipped to Gert for conversion to save having to be without the boxes as he doesn't seem to stock exchange pairs anymore...several of my friends have his modified system & are pleased with the noise - it almost sounds air cooled like though quite at tick over & increasing in tone as the revs rise.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The seams on the silencers of my 2002 996 Carrera 4S are corroded and starting to crack so it's time to swap them out. It currently has a standard exhaust setup and I'd like a bit more noise, nothing too loud as it's my daily driver but I do find it awfully quiet as standard. I looked into getting a PSE retro fitted but at over £4k that's really not an option so I was thinking something more like this at Design911 http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod4954/Exhaust-Muf... Or http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod5532/Exhaust-Muf... Anyone got either of these fitted to their cars and if so what do you think of them? Any other reasonably priced options?

POST 2Original post

Speak to Gert http://www.carnewal.com/Exhaust Plenty from here have used him and have been very pleased with his work.

POST 3Original post

As above. My C4S had standard silencers so I headed over to Belgium to see Gert and had his fitted (turned out my silencers were rusted through so had to pay a bit more as I couldnt do the exchange deal). It took a few hundred miles for them to "bed in", but it now has a great rorty deep sound. Much more befitting of the car and not too intrusive and definitely not boomy. The other benefit is that from the outside they look standard fit too.

POST 4Original post

What's the difference between Carnewal's GT and Sport exhaust?

POST 5Original post

Looking at the website it seems the Sports is an aftermarket replacement exhaust and the GT is the modification that he does on OEM silencers (removing a lot of the internal baffling and other magic I think). Hence the price difference as for the GT he either modifies your existing silencers or exchange/buy some pre modified second hand ones.
