Exhaust Size
 
Sorry for such a lame question, I dont wanna go measure or look it up. But whats the size of the pipe that goes to the muffler? Its a 99 boxster BTW.

Sweet, I guess no one cares.

I went out there with my veneer calipers and its about 1 3/4 inches.

I would check with Pedro on ppbb.com He makes his own custom freelow mufflers. Good luck!

Im not going that route. Im gonna do something completely different. I will post about it within the next couple weeks.

Veneer calipers? Weird, mine are made of solid metal! :p

Be careful with custom exhaust work. I put a lot of time and effort into making something custom and then discovered that the length of pipe that makes up a Boxster exhaust forms a really loud resonance around 2800 RPM. Unless you add about three feet of pipe to each side of the exhaust (or make a chambered muffler that does the same thing) it's going to resonate like a mofo.

I have a really nice custom exhaust ... hanging in my buddy's garage because of this.

Not trying to discourage anyone, just trying to save y'all some money ;)

Nope, no custom mufflers. Im making a PSE for my car. Super top secret... you guys will have to wait a couple weeks.

Boggtown, hows that super secret PSE project coming along? Done yet?

boggtown 02-25-2007 07:06 AM

Haha, ya, Im done. That was the bypass valves I did. Other than moving the wires once they are fine. Funny you should mention, I had a dream last night and I was in some sort of weird thing but in the end I got in my boxster with the exhaust loud and went flying down the road. I guess thats as close as im gonna get for the next week because im taking my moms cayenne back to KC.
