Exhaust Reccomendation
I've heard Tyson & Wilbur's FA exhaust system and it's got a nice sound to it...Reminds me of the old aircooled cars! But definetly not for the faint of heart!!!
Too bad I can't get another one made

Also, my car used to have NO MUFFLER, just pipes coming out... of course that is the lightest option and that's essentially what the PP "Exhaust" looks like.
Mine is 18.5lbs. with a muffler... it used to be much louder without one. Since we are both in the LA area, I invite you to come check out my exhaust sometime... it sounds like an older RSR race car.
Chris Y., if you want one, I'm sure Wilber can fabricate one for you!!!

Europipe Stage 2 Exhaust - Loud Version



Stainless steel sport exhaust with 2 large 127mm 100 cell catalytic convertors. Especially designed for motors with an output up to 700 hp. Instead of the 60mm tubing used in the original exhaust, this one uses 70mm tubing resulting in a 38% larger tube cross-section. This will add to the dramatic backpressure reduction going from 0,36 Bar at 6500 rpm for the stock exhaust to a low 0,15 Bar at 6500 rpm on our 70mm sport exhaust.
Loud at idle and even louder and intoxicating under accelerations
Exhaust has both high and low pitch tone. Will add 18 hp at 6000 rpm on a stock motor. No resonance or drone
With enlarged OEM oval tailpipes $ 4560.00
With enlarged OEM dual tailpipes $ 4745.00 (recommended!)
Shipping costs to the U.S.A. included
Europipe Stage 2 Exhaust - Loud Version
Not cheap - but you won't regret it!

Yeah...Finally got a white GT3 that I've been looking at for a while...Similar to Watt's car, w/ PCCBs. It's in Hawaii now, but I'll probably have it over to LA during the summer time
I'm definetly having Wilbur make me some custom headers and exhaust for that puppy!

Here is the ultimate street exhaust. Extra large kats, 85 mm tubing from kats to heat exhansion chamber, 85 mm tubing from chamber to special enlarged muffler and then two 60 mm tubes exiting the muffler on each side (four exit tubes total).
Trouble is, if the car drove by and you had your eyes closed ...... you wouldn't guess Porsche.

85 mm tube on top. Two 60 mm tubes exit into the tip.
Two 60 mm tubes exit each muffler to the tips.

Most other manufacturers use 60 mm tubing. Europipe uses 70 mm tubing (has about 30 plus percent more volume). My Europipes use 85 mm tubing. Here is a comparison of the two Europipe systems.

I have the Europipe Loud and the sound is Glorious! There is absolutely no resonance. You can definately feel the boost coming on sooner and the midrange acceleration improved substantially. My only other mod is a K&N filter.
Chad...Don't tell me it sounds like an F-car...
