PBK Exhaust first impressions

In short, exactly as advertised. Nice welds. Good sound that won't draw too much attention. No drone whatsoever. Very pleased with this mod. No CEL or other issues. Thanks Ken!

I haven't gotten a hop in the Corsair yet. Not many around, and no 2 seaters to get trained up in. It will happen sometime. Not many people know that they were a bit faster in level flight than a P-51, back in the Great War.

First plane to break the 400mph barrier I beleive. Not to shabby, it would have been nice to have had it a little earlier in the war but the Hell Cat did fine once the limmitations and advantages were understood against the J-Zero.


Back on topic, sounds like you accomplished what you wanted Ken. Good job.

The feedback has been positive, and if its not what people hoped it would be once they try it out, they can get their money back.
Looking for feedback on what else I can do to make these appealing enough for more folks to want to pull the trigger on them. PM or email with thoughts and ideas to make one worth while for you.

I also need a 997TT to dyno one of those for me. Will make a special deal on the exhaust for the volunteer.

Hang in there man. Reputation is not an easy thing to establish, especially in this economy.

I'm new to the TT Ken, but so far this has been the most appealing option. The only thing holding me back is I just got the car and want to flog me and the car out before I decide on which mods first - preferably on a track.

In the mean time I'll at least order some pedals!

Sounds like you have a great product, in a mature and saturated market. I bet 70% of the owners on this board already have an aftermarket exhaust. I would market this product to a different segment, as 6speed is a straight pipes and race gas forum. Try rennlist, panorama, and your local/national PCA, renntrack,pelican ect.
