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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not to beat this topic down again, but just another experience to add to the mix. And I know one man’s drone is another man’s O sound, so obviously YMMV. A few years ago I got the cat delete pipes and exhaust off of eBay that many people love/hate. I installed them and was happy with the sound change. I installed them using BruceH’s suggestion of using easy seal clamps. Well the past year it was seriously droning and driving me crazy to the point of contemplating taking it all off. As you may know the last year I also got a camaro zl1 and usually like to drive around with the exhaust mode in the “Track” setting. So I’m no sensitive ear guy as long as it sounds good. Well the boxster was droning in the range that everyone usually talks about - 2000-2900 rpm. Guess how I fixed it. I retightened the easy seal bolts. Somewhere in all the posts about exhausts that I read someone, maybe even BruceH, said something was probably leaky in the setup. I thought I would give retightening bolts a try. And being the lazy man I am I decided to try the ones I could reach without jacking the car up. I used a simple monkey wrench and found those bolts were loose, but not crazy loose. Now it’s back to the way it was. Tame, near stock like sound during regular driving and awesome sound during WOT. It’s no 650hp camaro sound, but it is a better 250hp boxster s sound.

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