Any internal differences between 996TT and 997TT engines?
I'm still kickin it with the 16's right now. Just got a bunch of things fixed and a clutch installed. Its like relearning to drive a 6speed again cause this clutch GRIPS! Which clutch do you have now btw?

I dunno, some super carbon/ceramic job from Stephen @ IA. Grips like a ****. I burned the hell out of it last weekend, and then ripped off 13 passes without a problem. Still smells a bit though.
When you going to slap on those bad boy hybrids?

I wouldn't steer you guys wrong....!
And BTW, it wasn't loud AT ALL at idle and cruise...actually quieter than the Proto straight pipes for some reason....until you went WOT!

Not that I'm aware of. I swapped my Proto exhaust for Switzer's before I sold it - a pic is below. It was gorgeous in person, especially after we coated it in black. It sounded awesome too! Titan and Proto both resell his exhausts. Tym is not a sponsor, so he has mentioned nothing about them online. They seem to sell mostly by word of mouth. But to give you an additional sense of his quality, he has been building exhausts exclusively for Renntech for some time now. Tym maintains even a lower key reputation than Todd K.

Well, this tells me that there is no way for anyone to "patent" the crossover.....that was discussed before. If GMG, Kevin at UMW, and Tym think it is a good design, it probably really is a great design.
Looks good too.
Sound clips?

I honestly can't see how it's a great idea when compared to a straight-through system from each side (no U-turn mufflers). The exhaust gas streams are ramming head-on. This has to increase backpressure. It may sound better, but your exhaust gas velocity must suffer as a result. Think of all the turbulence at that intersection.

in theory you are correct if all cylinders fired at the same time. but we all know each cylinder fires individually... the theory of x pipes is the cylinder that fires as the exhaust gasses passes the x pipe it scavenges vacuum and helps pull the exhaust from the opposing side that has fired. so this creates MAD POWER!!! I need this...lol
