I agree....

....that what sounds good to one person, is noise to another.

If you like it loud, that's absolutely fine. to each his own.

My point with my posting was in response to folks who have posted a lot of questions on this forum about different mufflers and if they have a drone inside while traveling down the highway.

EVERY two piece muffler installed on a 986 will have this drone.

And the reason why, is what I described. THAT is a FACT.

Now, that doesn't mean that a Borla or a Fabspeed or some other two muffler design is not right for YOU, or for many others.

I'm just trying to educate the folks who want some more sound outta their 986, but don't want a system that drones down the highway.

So, for those who care, note the dates on the bottom right corner of the book cover.

Enjoy:

And another thing.....

....this harmonic balancing is also why it is CRITICAL to use a dual mass flywheel like the OEM unit instead of an aftermarket single mass flywheel.

There are all kinds of weird harmonics that affect a vehicle when all these parts are spinning around as you go down the road.



By the way, I DO think the Fabspeed sounds AWESOME.

I just couldn't live with it on a real world, cross-country driving 986.

For a weekend toy? Sure! I'd slap one on.

But my car is used for cross-country vacation trips in addition to just cruising down to the local car show.
