Potential owner 2001 2.7 boxster

I tried that same exhaust setup. It was LOUD. Don't get me wrong, it sounded crazy at high rpms, but it droned quite a bit while cruising, which kind of ruined it for me. Some people on here have that setup and love it, and I suppose it really comes down to personal preference and individual tolerances, but for me it was too much. Currently, I am using the stock muffler with cat bypass pipes.

If it were me, I would stick to an exhaust that is one large muffler (like OEM), such as the FVD or Dansk. The aftermarket designs that keep the exhaust gases from each cylinder bank separate tend to be the ones with droning issues. It seems that the mixture of each stream in one common muffler is what cancels out those unwanted frequencies.

But again, it really comes down to what you're after!

How’s it sound with just the cat bypass? When looking for videos online will the 3.2 sound close to the 2.7?

I got your PM and tried to answer there but system says you cant receive messages or chose not to receive. Maybe there's a time limit until you can get them since you're a new user, per forum rules?

Anyway, I types a long response so PM me your email and i'll send it there.

Cheers,
