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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 996 03 on order with a sports exhaust and I'm confused about the auto cut off feature on the sports exhaust. Does it only cut off automatically between 25mph-40mph when you have a sports exhaust without the silence button on the console? This <a href="http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p96089.htm" target="_blank">website</a> appears to sell a manual only kit for the sports exhaust that allows you to open and close the exhaust. The description implies that it gets rid of the auto close and open feature at certain speeds. Failing that; does anybody know how to disable the cut off feature of the exahaust?

POST 2Original post

I have an '03 Cab with factory sport exhaust, and it does not cut out at any speed. I think they did away with the auto cutout in the new models.

POST 3Original post

I have an 03 X51 with sport exhaust and there is a switch on the dash to turn it on/off. I like the sound so much I leave it in the on position.

POST 4Original post

Colm is right, there's a switch that you can use to turn-on and off the sport exhaust. I had it retro-fitted and installed without the vacuum switch, I only had the dealer install the mufflers so it's always on sport Thanx Loren for that suggestion, worked like a charm <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

POST 5Original post

I have the sports exhaust option with the dash switch. It seems that it cuts out at certain speeds (30-45) and resumes again. This is with the switch in the off position. I only have a few hundred miles, so I'll wait until a bit longer to see if this goes away. Try this site for the exhaust: <a href="http://www.e-bydesign.com" target="_blank">http://www.e-bydesign.com</a>

POST 6Original post

I have a question if someone doesn't mind answering. I have read on the Sports Exhaust option that it cuts out from 30 - 45 MPH, irrespective of whether or not the switch is in the "ON" position. But I have read posts such as JFB's which says that the cutout is no longer a feature in the SE option. So, is there a mid-year change, or are some people mistaken? I guess to ask my question more succintly, what exactly comes with the Sports Exhaust option on a 2003 current production car? Thanks in advance...

POST 7Original post

I guess, as a newbie, I should have used the search function. Anyway, there's a "hack" that is relatively simple to perform that will bypass the annoying cutoff, and still have the switch operational. <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/cgi-bin/rennforums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=002485#000000" target="_blank">http://forums.rennlist.com/cgi-bin/rennforums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=002485#000000</a> I better pay up and become a member, now that I've gotten this precious piece of info.
