They do sound awesome, but I think the reason many people don't get them is that fact they are about 3X as expensive as other exhaust systems.

 

Wow! Great link... thanks for sharing.

This exhaust has a very clean sound which is similar to the new 997.2 x-pipe based systems.

When you click on the Kreissieg website and take a look at their 997 exhaust (which also sounds very clearn/smooth) you'll notice that they also use an x-pipe except in this case, on a *pre-facelifted 997*.

I'm convinced that the x-pipe is the source of the smoother sound... with the two cylinder banks on the flat-6 never crossing at any point, I've always felt that the 911 sounds more like a pair of angry 3 cylinders than a harmonic 6 cylinder.

So I guess this begs the question - why don't more vendors create x-pipe based systems for the pre-facelifted 997?

 

its weird because i thought more of the opposite, that the exaust sounded rough and raw. heres a link that shows many of the other exhausts. love the way the flat-6 sounds in this.

I went to the Kreis-Sieg website and it looks like they only have systems for the "super" Porsches: GT2, GT3, Turbo. Maybe they'll have one soon for the humble 997.

 

I agree with you.
To me it sounded quite raspy.
Reminded me of the raspiness inherent in the e46 M3.

Vivid racing advertises that they do make one for the 997......

And it ain't cheap!

I suppose I'm in the minority (either that or my ears need a re-tune!)

well in either case... I do personally love how this sounds and I still wonder why x-pipe 997 systems aren't more prevalent

BTW justatoy is right - They make one for the 997; it's on their website as well (click on "exhaust" on the top menu then 997)

 

here you go:

i think its the titanium part, not the x pipe that gives it that sound.

 

The stock exhaust is fine. Why would I want to blow money on a new exhaust for its sound?

 

Yeah owning one of their exhausts is not cheap. But hey you can be "that guy"

 

The car in the video sounds so good because it is a GT3. The 996 GT3 and the 997 GT3 sound very different than the 997 or 997S 3.6 or 3.8 engines.

There is no way to get your Carrera or Carrera S to sound like a GT3.

 

Oh wow that car sounded great...no one buys these things because it costs you an arm and a leg. You can get a whole exhaust system for the cost of just the muffler setup as well as software.
