i'd be tempted to do the mod posted above and failing that just replace the mufflers..

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.

So my 997c2 is rather quiet and refined....
Too Quiet .....
So, standing on the edge of a precipice of modifications, what do you guys reckon will give my 997 a nicer sound?
Fisters?
http://fdmotorsports.net/category/fister-exhaust-997
I agree the 997's are very quiet.. a 997 was at a set of lights that i was crossing.. i could barely hear the engine as it rolled up
Akrapovic do sound the business but not made for my car. I use a fabspeed and love the sound and the finish is first class too. Won't go wrong with either
Yep - my listing from Akrapovic doesn't show anything for 997.1.
Just to throw another brand into the mix, there are also exhausts by Dansk (better known for their exhausts for air cooled cars) which are suitable for the 997.
I know of someone who dropped something like $12k on an akra for his 1M and it wasn't even the whole system!
I could only imagine what an akra with "Porsche tax" would cost...
ouch...
the fabspeed system was 3-4k shipped and i was bitching about that lol.
i'd be tempted to do the mod posted above and failing that just replace the mufflers..
that's not bad $$$ considering the quality of the system!
I do want to change out to the cup centre exit muffler eventually though.... keeping the fabspeed headers this is
have you checked out Carnewal in Belgium??
I got one for my Cayman S..... the sound, as Larry David from Curb would say, is pretty pretty pretty pretty... pretty good.
Well, I like it....

Remus or Sharkwerks
I know someone who got a Sharkwerks exhaust imported for his 997 GT3 and he had no problems getting it shifted and was happy with the result
Has anyone used the Fisters on a 997? They seem very cheap? Are such available in Australia? Not looking for performance gains but only a nicer note ...
I gather that these are a polished version of the so called 'Gundo hack' process, that can easily be done locally by a competent exhaust shop. Any one done this?
Gday Merv, I recently removed the mufflers from my 996 and had the local exhaust shop do the "Gundo Hack". From what I can see the 997 mufflers look pretty much the same. After looking on youtube, this is pretty much the change in noise you can expect.
Cheers Steve
My 997 has the factory sports exhaust, and it doesn't sound like that Tubi. (I'm assuming here the sports exhaust and the gundo sound similar).
I generally only open the exhaust when I see an onramp as it also puts the PASM into sport as well.
In my car at least I don't notice a whole lot of drone, 997s have a whole heap of sound deadening in them. I need to roll down the windows to get the full effect of the exhaust.
Thanks for that. There is the Gundo and the Fister I gather. They are different in configuration. I seem to be only able to attach one here due to file size limitations (I have reduced to almost nothing ...)
To confuse you further Merv, there's two methods of doing the hack. One works with the 996 where the inlet and outlet are joined. The other is either 996.2 or 997(can't remember) where the cap on the corner is cut out and a third pipe is connected from the cap to the outlet pipe.
I will have to look for some schematics I guess. Post 18 here shows the two types:

bring up an old topic...
I asked AutoArt about exhaust and he recommended a M
illi Miglia exhaust made up in Sydney.
Any body here know about them?
$2K + for the exhaust.
Gundo hack with a Cat bypass from Fabspeed. Low $$'s before investing in a full system. Alternatively, I reckon a set of Fabspeed headers with straight through pipes would be riotous!
As soon as my car can't be warranted anymore, I'm going full riot!
