Rp17, I would check the exhaust clamps. Turn on the car and place your hand around area of the clamps (carefully). If there's a leak you will feel air seeping through the clamp. All for four of my clamps I can feel air (all clamps were tighten again as well). I knew something wasn't right. My exhaust just doesn't feel or sound the same. I have a GHL muffler.

Will do. I like Timco's idea as well. Everytime I take a non boxster owner for a ride and ask them if they are hearing what im hearing, I get this open mouth look after we get back. Smh... My exhaust sounds amazing so can't blame them much.

On a road trip tomorrow so hopefully when I get back, I can shoot a couple of pics of the clamp.

Check out the link and scroll down to post # 14. I used these clamps on my recent exhaust install they worked great and seal very well. In hindsight I should have used these at the muffler joint also. I had a slight exhaust leak at the slip joint these clamps cured it.

Those clamps are very good. Few other forum members are using them that solved there problems.

Her is a few pics of my clamp that I think is causing me problems. Slight leak i'm thinking. Those clamps mentioned earlier wont work ends of these pipes.




Second clamp is one I got from Summit Racing. Any alternatives to these?
