the horror....

it finally rained here last evening and i drove home with the top up for 20 minutes or so, and that is about the extent i could stand with the dreaded drone!

if this was my daily driver or even occassional road trip car, there is no way i could stand it.....and no way the stereo could drown the drone. earplugs would definitely help.

i will be keeping the stock 986s muffler around (with holes drilled) in case i ever decide to drive somewhere in this thing.

fwiw, i'm sporting the ebay kcr headers and exhaust discussed at length elsewhere on the forum.

yes, there is a significant performance difference with them mounted.

yes, the exhaust note is much improved and with the top down, fabulous!

yes, the drone is completely unacceptable with top up for this guy.
