I got a chance to put together a quick video clip of the FVD Brombacher muffler that I had installed on my base 991 manual last week. I like it a lot - Sporty but not annoyingly loud.

 

Hmmm....I think I like it

Are you purposely not revving high due to break in?

 

Sounds good indeed!
Do you have PSE?
Sure would love to hear higher rev's too!

 

Yes - The car has less than 500 miles on it.

And no PSE - I wanted it but took an in stock car that didn't have it. The FVD muffler was the alternative.

Here's a mini movie with several clips - still trying to keep the revs down.

 

The exhaust sounds great on the 1st video. You need to check the 2nd video as it is marked private and does not play (for me).

Beautiful car. Glad you are back in a Porsche.

Thanks, Mark. I fixed the youtube privacy settings on the second clip. Sorry I couldn't join today but keep me in mind for your future rides.

 

Sounds great!!

It's a little to calm in the revs but with only 500km on it I totally understand.
Plus it's nice to hear what it sounds like in "real life" circumstances, as most of the clips out there are at WOT... sounds good but 90% of the time this is not how most drive our 911's.

Great job on the clips, thanks for posting!
If you've more... I'd love to hear/see em.
Rep points coming your way.

Cheers!

btw the car looks real good, tossed around with getting the red myself as well...

 

Thanks! I'm happy to post more video at higher revs once the car gets some more miles on it.

 

Whats the cost of that FVD setup?

Sounds just like the new Boxster S. =)
Nice!

 

That sounds great! Any chance of a dyno run after you reach the break-in mileage?

 

Looks and sounds fantastic. Well done!
Off Topic: Caveatesq, did you finally lower your car with H&Rs? The ride height looks just perfect, much better than my non PASM base.

 

Thanks - I decided against lowering springs (for now at least) so my car, like yours, is standard, non-PASM height. I did add the Sport PASM front spoiler which the great service department at my Porsche dealer installed free of charge. Free of charge and Porsche - now there are words not typically heard in the same sentence.

 

Curious why you went with FVD and not just order Porches's factory PSE which is roughly same cost? Actually looks like PSE is less $
