I drove around in my town today and must say - with the top down and flooring it this exhaust is LOUD....I like

Sweet that's great to hear, I'm going to buy them when I get paid this friday. And I'm definately a fan of loud exhaust ( I previously owned a Mustang GT with headers and a catless X-pipe after my 944 was wrecked) so hopefully this helps solve the muted stock exhaust and let some more of that flat-6 growl out.

i got my charlie chan exhaust on today . it was a ******************** to get the factory exhaust out with the bumper on , ended up taking the tranny bracket off and it dropped out. my first impression of it is that it sounds decent. it is not as loud as i was expecting will see what happens when it breaks in a little. overall i'm happy with it so far.

In view of all the lingering questions and concerns regarding the Charlie Chan muffler, while on top secret assignment yesterday, I decided to take a short detour and visit Mr. Chan myself. Unfortunately, he was not available, but I was able to speak with his assistants, Fook Yu and Fook Me . Despite the language barrier, I was able to glean from our discussion, is that the muffler is designed to give you "boom-boom long time" ! I'm not exactly sure what that means, but maybe it will help .

Meet Jenny, Charlie's blood sister, and the guardian of my race-only clementine. Last time Jenny had to deal with a bad-mouth GI, she did him so bad with a half side kick the poor dude had to pick up his teeth with broken fingers.
She is a good girl, I like her a lot. Rest assured boyz... the end of the story is, as good as she is, she did end up feeding him his life-less tasty McDonald favourite trio with bloody chopsticks.
Ahhhh girl

Actually, that award would have to go to Che of Deluboz, who was the first to import them, would it not?
That was a wonderful day. I remember seeing his post and being the first to respond, gaining a free set of headers and this muffler out of the deal for dyno'ing the car before and after and posting the results.

They offered me some saki, along with a sensual bath ! However, since I was due back at headquarters, I had to decline .
