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.

here is the link to my youtube video of the exhaust I put on my 2002 boxster 986 2.7l. I did secondly cat delete as well as muffler delete and added 4 resonators. Total cost was under 400 and I think it sounds great. Would like y'alls feed back.

I don’t own a Boxster at the moment, but I’m sure this info will come handy one day
Whould be nice if you can post links to the parts, and some pics of the setup once you have it in the air.
Any dron at midrange rpm?
I have a automatic. There is drone under 3k rpm only under load. so if I drive it like a grandma and Its in high gear yes there is a little drone but not much. I'll make a video if me driving around and post it hopefully this weekend
Nicely done. Great job on the tip alignment as well. Has a nice balanced sound. Would have to hear under load but just revving it sounds like a nice mix of some deep ness in the tone with just a bit of growl. Considering it’s not engineered for sound i’d say you should certainly be happy with that result.
Have to wonder though how it would sound with only two resonators
I'm a bit jealous of your ability to assemble and design this. Any chance you'd want to make up a set of directions or cheat sheet for us? I'd love to go the custom route but I'd need a bunch of help for that.
Thanks

I didnt want to spend the 1500+ dollers on the fab speed exhaust. It started off as me just wanting to do a muffler delete, so I ordered the tips from carid. went to the exhaust shop and showed them the picture of the fabspeed design and they made it. then after a few weeks I decided to order the pair of 12" universal resonators from ebay for around 50 bucks and was impressed with the sound. about a week later I decided I didnt want the secondary cats so I had them removed but it wasn't as smooth as I liked, so I ordered the pair aero tr20 resonators from ebay to put in place of the cats. And now im extremely happy with the sounds and absolutely love it.
