I would just have to hit the switch at T5 and then open at T8 I run Laguna Seca 92db
Leading evidence: 'Run laguna seca 92db' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

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.

Has anyone installed an exhaust turndown/cutout on their car yet? I'd be curious to know if it was possible, that way i can go from full bypass for track/scaring neighbors
...to silent mufflers again when cruising long distances.
Thought about this as well. Big with the muscle car crowd....lets you go from mild to wild with the flick of a switch.
BTW: this is not PSE folks, this would be like bypassing the mufflers altogether the way the Muffler Bypass pipes sound.
^ bingo.
what size is the piping on our cars again? 2.5? 3"?
i was looking at the QTE cutouts and they look like they would work...as long as there's enuff room to weld/clamp them in place.
something like this...

though where would it fit on the porsche exhaust since there are no midpipes due to the engine being in the rear?
on the cat pipes?
This would be a good solution for those of us that yank our mufflers and install the bypass pipes for track days. Would negate the weight savings of that approach but would retain the engine cooling of getting rid of the hot gases without heating up the cats and muffles.
anyone happen 2 have a pic of the underside of a 996 on them?
the piping is pretty tight down there...i think we'll be hardpressed to find the space to install the cutouts.
If I did it, I would put them after the headers and before the cats. More beneficial for the track days.
I would just have to hit the switch at T5 and then open at T8 I run Laguna Seca 92db

I agree, the largest gains would be before the cats.... Kinda hard to do since there isn't very much pipe length from the header connector to the cat itself.
If you did that with no modification to fuel control, you would most likely lose performance (and probably damage the engine) and you would definately hurt your powerband regardless of what else you did to your NA engine.
I agree. I was thinking doing it after the cat cells on that small longer area of the cat pipe but before the muffler.
Doing it before the cats might also trigger a CEL since there won't be a lambda-delta between the two O2 sensors.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
