I'd like to know about those screened vents you've cut in the fender liner. Can you share, please?

Picked up car from maintenance and with new FVD Brombacher sound version muffler installed. Great sound more flat six, but not too much more.

Congratulations! My goal is to acquire an FVD Brombacher sound version.

Thanks! I have had mine for several months, so pretty excited. My tech was borderline on likening the sound I think he thought it should have been louder. Most of his clients want louder. For me tone is perfect, just a little louder than stock but deeper, opens up over 3k but cruisin at 3100 nice sound but not over powering.

My next upgrade is plenum throttle body.

I have the FVD Brombacher as well with headers, and test pipes. I was really expecting the car to be loud. But I am very happy with the FVD. Like mentioned above it has a great note, and no drone at cruising speed. But for me, when I get the car up around 5k it lets out a nice bark and really has that Porsche flat 6 growl.

I am liking the feedback; I don't want loud, droning, but nice deep tone

I will try and remember to get a db reading at idle and 3k. Iforgot to get a stock reading, but will give you an idea.

This muffler is one of my favorite modifications. I have had it for maybe 6 years and I added test pipes a few years ago. Zero drone and barely louder than OEM when cruising, but awesome flat 6 sound upon any acceleration, especially full throttle and high RPM. Highly recommended!

Removed my engine mount and wow the bushing just slid out pushing with one finger.

Sure! It's just expanded metal mesh from Home Depot. I used aluminum, I think it's intended use is for gutters.

• I pulled the whole fender liner out
• Determined the shape I wanted based on the bracing behind the radiator.
• I cut the liner with a cutoff wheel. I wanted the corners rounder than they ended up. I used a 1/2" drill bit, it would have looked better with a full inch.
• I had to cut out some of the original radiator shroud so the air could pass straight through. I used a hacksaw blade. A dremel would probably be better.
• Cut my mesh to shape
• Drilled some holes, and riveted it in place.
