I have some 997.2 exhaust boxes and cross over pipes, going cheap, as I fitted a OEM Sports exhaust a few years ago.

My rear boxes have finally given up the ghost and splitting, so scraped through my MOT, but need replacing imminently.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi collective, My rear boxes have finally given up the ghost and splitting, so scraped through my MOT, but need replacing imminently. Im looking at options. Not looking for something loud (I know sound is subjectve!) or claimed BHP gains. Want something reliable, not too loud or droning, but maybe on a par with my gundo hack I bought mine with. Stock 996 exhaust I've had on previous cars are a little too quiet. Hear of some relialbility issues with Dansk, Milltex and OE are too expensive for me, so at the moment, boils down to DesignTek https://www.design911shop.com/porsche/996-c2-3-6l-09-01-2005/silencers---mufflers/ or TopGear https://www.topgear.co.uk/porsche-911-996-carrera-mild-sports-silencers Any thoughts or experience? Or others I'm not sighted on? Thanks Craig

POST 2Original post

I suspect if you do a search on here or 996 Facebook groups you'll find there are more opinions than there are boxes and there are quite a few boxes to choose from. I have the top gear quiet boxes . They are indeed quiet but probably not as quiet as stock . They certainly make a different tone to stock which you will either love or hate . Some people report droning others don't . Mine do and on that point alone I find I'm not in love with them .You can drive around the drone it seems to be around the 70 mph mark in mine . On the plus side they pass noise tests at track days well . If I were to replace again I'd probably go with dansk oem type , though they have in the past been known to have issues with the Flexi pipe that they come with.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks Laurence. Yeah it's the flexi pipes issues I've heard about with the Dansk which has put me off. Thanks for the feedback from your experience on the - food for thought!!

POST 4Original post

Craig, I have some 997.2 exhaust boxes and cross over pipes, going cheap, as I fitted a OEM Sports exhaust a few years ago. My car is a 2009 model, with 40K miles on it. I do think the fittings might be a little different ? Happy to provide photos. I am in Winchester.
