Was inpsecting the new ride in the garage today (no driving..rain) and noticed there is a heck of alot of exaust pipes for a rear engine car. The manifold looks pretty free flowing but then lots of pipes before it exits.
I'm sure an upgrade will yield a few ponies and save a good amount of weight. What are the popular systems out there. Also, is hte exhaust different from the previous models ('07-'08) or will those exhaust fit on t he '09's. thanks

 

Talk to Sharkwerks (board sponsor) about their center muffler delete. Seems like a no-brainer for the 997.2!

 

I have an AWE exhaust on my 997.2, ZERO DRONE, Quiet @ cruise, sounds great. Sounds like it should of came from the factory! Very Easy install too.

 

If it is like my 997.1 replacing the CATS will yield the most HP. Have fun.

 

Looked at their website. Correct me if i am wrong but it looks like the stock exhaust manifold merges into the cats right away then cross into the center muffler(which is connected to the cats by a flange) then into each side muffler before exiting the tail pipes.
The sharkwerks system looks like it uses straight pipes and deletes the central muffler. Is this central muffler on the stock set-up an actual muffler(internal design) or more like a resonator ?

 

There are numerous posts in the 997 forum about this

Tubi for the 997.2 is different than earlier versions.

It replaces the 2 side mufflers and deletes the center muffler.....sounds great

 

Tubi sounds AWESOME.

 

I have the complete FVD system (cats. long tube headers, mufflers) and its incredible. I have a few sound clips just not on youtube. PM me yoie e mail and I'll send them to you. I am very pleased with the system.
