FDM Exhaust Mod

[Dino]

Like many of you, I have been continually searching for the perfect muffler for my beloved Boxster. As revealed here many times, almost all aftrermarket solutions either rob power or drone terribly or both. I had decided to do the PSE style mod to stock S muffler but I could not find anyone to do it for me. I'm no welder.

I read about FD Motorsports exhaust mod and contacted them. I had previously done the Crios mod to my muffler so I couldn't use it as a core return and I didn't want to be mufflerless for a couple of weeks. So, I bought a really nice Boxster S muffler off eBay for a little of nothing. I had it shipped directly to FD Motorsports who did their mods and powder coated it in Cerachrome. It looks and sound fantastic! It came out so well that they are using my muffler on their web page.

Darin Fister was extremely helpful and made this one of the easiest transactions I've had. Much thanks, Darin.

By the way, I am in no way affiliated with FD Motorsports or anyone else for that matter. I am just a very happy customer with a great looking and sounding Boxster.

That's really nice. If you get a chance, post up a video of yours.

I just changed my stock 986 muffler out with FVD's (m&m) my stock muffler has 50k miles on it, no mods if anyone is interested $100.00 plus shipping.

Sweet....how raspy is it or is it a deep flat six sound? Any drone?

[Dino]

I think it sounds perfect. Way more "Porsche like" than stock. Absolutely no drone what so ever because it retains the stock dimensions. Sounds nice and deep at idle and at low RPMs. Gets nice and aggressive sounding at 4k and above but still not too loud at all. Even my wife think it sounds better and she hates loud cars. One of the best mods I've made.

I have a similar modified muffler from Oettle on my '02 S (mines not as pretty), but then added Fabspeed secondary bypass pipes to really open up the sound...one of the best combinations I've heard (not just because it's my car) and many others in the P community have stated the same.

I highly recommend modifying the stock muffler, over purchasing an expensive aftermarket model.

This is my thinking where does one get Oettle mod done?

Nice I am pretty much going to have the same set up as you if I go through with it....can you still stand it on long trips??? Do you have any sound clips?
