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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello to everyone again. I just did the PSE Hack and am somewhat disappointed. I did all the labor minus the welding and paid $80. Would adding the Fister D type hack be overkill? I have not heard the sound of both together but have seen a few pics of it online.

POST 2Original post

What year mufflers? The PSE hack is very quiet on MK1 mufflers. Do the Fister hack and if it is too loud cut the PSE off and weld it up.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2001. I was hoping not to have done the PSE then cover it up but its an option and solution.

POST 4Original post

I got fister d mod on mine gen 1 mufflers. And just added the orange cap mod as well for the extra sound on higher rpm.

POST 5Original post

I did the PSE on my 2003 cab. It is not as loud as the Fister hack, just a little more bass then stock. I like it on the cab with the top down. Most folks with coupes go to the Fister.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Orange cap? I have a cab also so maybe Ill wait and see how it sounds with the top down on the road.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just looked up the Orange cap and reading up on it. Thanks to all for the feedback.

POST 8Original post

I just discovered the 'orange cap mod' from this thread. I used a lid from a lemonade bottle and it fit perfect. Sounds good.

POST 9Original post

Are you aware of Muffler Bypass Pipes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QK1DU6fu90 Can be had on Ebay for around $150

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They sound good but a bit too loud. I just took it on the highway and it sounds good. With the top down it should be just right. If anything ill experiment with the air intake.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I tried the orange cap Mod with a rubber cap and it sounds perfect with the PSE Hack. Ill order the silicone intake hose and call it a day. Thanx again for the info.

POST 12Original post

I did the orange cap and heard no difference, or given that its been snowing and crappy for the last 60+ days here its possible that I cant remember what the car used to sound like? Waiting for my muffler mod; which I think will have the most significant improvement over stock.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seems to add a deeper sound to the muffler hack.

POST 14Original post

Change your catalytic converters to an x-pipe. My PSE was somewhat loud before but once installing the new cats it really opened things up. Plus it has a higher pitch howl now similar to what the GT3 sounds like.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
