Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

no problem ... this link has some good sounds. part way through you get to listen to two lancias; one with 6-1 and one with 6-2 - the difference is very distinct: https://youtu.be/DRI9CLF53Vw i figure you could take a set of chinese equal-length headers (fabspeed knockoffs) and cut at the collector. then extend them to back by the transaxle where you incorporate one of these: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/164720743423?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=706-89093-2056-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=164720743423&targetid=1657494600950&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9001627&poi=&campaignid=17288881879&mkgroupid=135489415103&rlsatarget=pla-1657494600950&abcId=9300870&merchantid=584336830&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyKqgiqCg_wIVoc3jBx3G8QvkEAQYASAB EgL01fD_BwE

POST 4Original post

Amazing how the sound can be so different depending on the exhaust. YouTuber Stapleton42 has been chasing sound on his LS swapped Monte Carlo by trying different header types and collectors. Part of his research was to investigate Morgan-McClure's 95 winning Daytona car. Boom Tubes wouldn't work on our cars, but if I have some money left over in my 928 project, I'd consider trying a pair for it. Think it would sound bad-ass.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

perhaps extend the headers to the back (long tube) to a collector on each side then into an x-pipe and boom tubes out the back? which might look a bit like one of these: https://tarett.com/collections/engine-986-987-981-718/products/986-boxster-race-exhaust
