Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

Side by side, there is definitely a sound difference at low RPM, but not higher RPM. Performance gain is zero - you’ll need modifications further upstream for any appreciable gain by all accounts. They do look fab..
Worth 500 for the looks and a fruitier idle? Not sure it would be top of my list, but I’m glad I have them.
Thanks for your thoughts Chaps. The GTS has the PSE as standard so upper RPM is already quite good. I am tempted by not only the looks but the implied efficientcy of sweeping bends. The car has already been remapped by RPM (good gains in bhp and lots of torque as well), really impressed with their facility & service.
I fitted these on my Cayman R. They were a bit of a nightmare to fit and definitely not plug and play for the average DIY mechanic. I did it purely because the original ones had eroded away and looked very tired.

Out of interest, do you know where the map was from?

Apologies Chaps.
I had a complete moment this morning regarding the remap noted above not sure what i was thinking about.
The remap was carried by DMS Automotive near Southampton.

As for x-pipe… I have an M&M one available.
Brand new, never fitted or used.
I have changed to separate pipes from the rear boxes... more character than mixing both sides of the engine...
