Same here. I tried a straight through 2 muffler type, too loud for me. I want quiet absolutely no resonance with best possible flow. The "Korda" mod introduces some resonance back in. Don't know the specifics of the mod, but it must've changed the Hemholtz resonator in the OEM unit.

I ran straight pipes on my 99

Yes I am guilty, i had straight pipes on my 99 Boxster for about a year, there is a video at www.youtube.com/gwhand

was it loud?? Yes...so loud that after a 2 hr drive I would get a headache and talking on the phone was near impossible.

I am glad I tried it but i would not do it again.

I've modified my muffler by cutting holes in the inlet pipes so that some exhaust gases skip a chamber in the muffler. The sound is very nice. There is a bit of resonance right at 2800rpm if the car is under load, but otherwise it isn't bad.

Below you'll find a dyno chart for a hacked muffler. I'm just curious what they exactly did to it, since it's quite an improvement, especially the torque.
