Thanks Kenny for the hybrid suggestion. I'm not quite at that point as yet. Maybe next year
. Maybe 'loud' was the wrong word. Maybe I should have said 'noisy'. Not a nice noisy more like just a blowing noise. I've had plenty of V8's with headers and nice exhaust so no I'm not hybrid ready. Yes, this is a straight pipe situation for the 1" muffler bypass but the muffler should be picking up most of it. It just wasn't want I expected. So that's what I shared. I'm after a subtle sports car sound, which is prob something I won't get with the boxster flat six. But, I'm learning here. this is my first Porsche. I posted my thoughts and experience only because this topic is open and the pipes everyone wanted are now available. I shared my install hoping someone with similar fitment issues would benefit from it. So in the same light I shared my disappointment as well. but, you learn and move on. That's a good thing. Sorry if my post offends anyone but it was just that, a post expressing an experience. I'll think twice next time and stick to solid issues. Cheers
