did the CEl make its appearance? I'm thinking about this too...... I saw a picture in the latest excellence magazine of the tubi exhaust for the 997tt, no cats and they did a longer spacer for the 2nd sensor, and they say no cel's ? It really would be nice if someone would make a "plug in the harness" deal to fake out the 2nd sensor.....
FVD sells this exact thing...

Sechsgang's does sound "softer" than the others.
I think my switzer, for a muffled exhaust, was very GT3rs-like....just me (and my instructor and a few other instructors...).
Hope the link gadget helps all of you guys...it is not too expensive!

Yep, Sechgang's pipes are a bit different... in a good way. It's surprisingly comfortable cruising with them; and needless to say-- they sound amazing any other time.
Gurgles, pops, snarls, and SCREAMS (not like a Ferrari... this is the blunt hammer, no refined scalpel here).
Definitely necessary for a hardcore driver, like many here on 6spd.

Ok I am finally learning the rev ranges that are ok in what gear. It takes some knowledge and getting used to, but 6th gear will wear you out under 80 mph. 70-80 is good in 5th.
Thing is that it's either really docile, or CRAZY LOUD.
I think I'm going to get a lesser exhaust than the PSI, something that's comfy. For times I may need to change the exhaust, which I dont ever forsee, but you never know. I dont need two aggressive exhausts.

I can see it coming within a blink of an eye!

Oh no,90% of my driving is at the track with a helmet on, I'll be just fine with the straight pipes. Only keeping a backup in case I have to do emissions or change at the track for Db levels.

IF I could actually find a dyno for my car without removing the AWD I was going to take my PSI loud and see what kind of power it made on each.
But changing from AWD and changing exhaust, not going to happen.
I'll know for sure next time I'm out on track with some Z06's otherwise though.

There is a Mustang near Greenville and I believe the drums are linked. Google Mustang dynos and there is a locator or something that will tell you where they are. I never called but ther was a number and address.
