Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
I agree, the standard exhaust doesn't drone in the car, so I suspect Gordon is right and that it might be an aftermarket one.

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

hi all had my 996 turbo for 5 weeks . great car but i find the exhaust has a very deep note / drone all the time like the bass is to high . think i will have to change the exhaust but what one is best can any one help cheers all

POST 2Original post

Steve Sounds like you have a poor aftermarket exhaust fitted, factory exhausts both std and sports dont drone. Before you start the search you need to find out whats currently fitted and then we ill advise!

POST 3Original post

Typo, or mischief? [ ] I agree, the standard exhaust doesn't drone in the car, so I suspect Gordon is right and that it might be an aftermarket one.

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