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

Is there any hp to go with that great sound? Some guy told me that his GHL sounds great but there was no hp gain!

POST 2Original post

I have the Gemballa stainless steel twin tip exhaust and according to gemballa it has a 10-13 hp gain. In my opinion the gemballa is the best one around, but I do know some people like the B&B and FVD mufflers too. (Keep in mind the Gemballa is an $1800 muffler versus the other two which are significantly less)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thats sounds nice, but expensive! I guess you usually get what you pay for! I dont want to spend $1000-1500 on a nice noise maker and not see hp gains.

POST 4Original post

Well trust me the Gemballa ISNT just a great noisemaker, I did notice a small difference after it was installed But trust me you will pay for it!

POST 5Original post

I had a B&B installed about two months ago on my '99. I really like it and it gave me a small boost in hp. Not a bad price at all, about $1100 with shipping and installation. http://www.986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=497 The Gemballa is the best I guess, but too expensive for me. Now some people say the B&B doesn't have the right sound, but I think it sounds great. Throaty and not "tinny" like someone said. For the price I don't think you would be disappointed.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the feedback mjbliemel and jfmiller, i saw a b&b in tweeks on sale for $700 so that sounds like a good deal, I'm glad you guys like your exhausts. I heard that about the B&B too, so i wasn't sure about it, but everyone has there tastes and opinions i guess. I think the GHL is a good compromise between the two however. so i might go with it.
