997.1 Cargraphics Exhaust (Export / Loud)

This weekend I had a Cargraphics Export (Loud version) exhaust installed on my '06 C2 (non S). Other than the cans my exhaust is stock. In my opinion, the car's stock exhaust too closely resembles an egg beater. It just doesn't fit the car. So I was in search of an aftermarket exhaust. I consulted Justin @ Rennsport-One and based on what I was looking for he pointed me to Cargraphics. I was after an exhaust that fit car. Its a sports car and when I step on the peddle I want some audible pleasure. However, I didn't want drone or something that even remotely resemble one of those angry hornet type exhausts that you see on Hondas.

I had the exhaust installed this weekend and it meet all my expectations. When the car isn't under load (ie.idle, or just cruising @ 4k rpm in 4th gear) the car sounds stock. However, once you give it some gas the car emits a glorious sound. It was exactly what I was hoping it would sound like. I have yet to find an RPM where the car drones. This exhaust rocks! I couldn't be happier with it. If you're on the fence about getting an exhaust because you think it may drone or be too obnoxious consider Cargraphics.

Congrats on the new exhaust! You just got my favorite exhaust for 911!

Cargraphic is still the best sounding exhaust in my opinion!

I struggled with several exhausts for over a year worrying about drone and that poor quality raspy sound. The cargraphic is perfect. Your description is exactly what I experienced too. Nice deep gurgle at cold start up, quiet at idle and nice deep growl when you step on it. Perfect sound in my opinion.
It's so addicting that I find myslef often making an excuse to drive it for no good reason just to hear the exhaust sound. It completely enhanced the driving experience. Another satisfied customer here!!

It rained nearly all weekend where I live. Then when it finally stopped the wind picked up. So rather than shoot a good drive by video that would just sound like wind noise, I decided to just turn the camcorder on (without video since I was driving by myself) and let you guys hear the exhaust from inside the cabin (windows were up). I hope to get some exterior footage sometime this week. The first link is of a cold start (car windows down in my garage). The burble goes away once the exhaust warms up (1 minutes or less). The second link is just me taking a cruise. When I get on it you hear the exhaust otherwise you can still hear the mechanical sound these engines make. That's exactly what I was after.

I have no idea why three videos show. There are only two. The third video is a duplicate of the 2nd.

You're welcome. Hopefully I'll get some drive by clips this week. It obviously sounds more aggressive from outside the car.
