Best no drone exhaust?

Not to share Jake's secrets but be he privately told me along time ago that some cheap eBay headers and a stock muffler made the best power. I followed his advice and just added Fabspeed highflow cats, headers and my stock muffler and couldn't be happier. I do have many different mufflers and if I feel like being obnoxious I may switch in a loud one for a month or so.

Listen to the man! He knows his stuff.

This sounds like a good options. Fab speed tend to be a little pricey but they tend to offer quality pieces. What is the sound like? Does keeping the stock muffler eliminate drone with the combo you have?

I have zero drone. My car is pretty quiet. I'll try and get a video up.

Hell, I create 4.0 liter engines and keep the stock muffler in some instances. The stock exhaust is one of the more superior OEM pieces of these cars.

Seldom do we find power with exhaust system mods outside of the removal of cats, which held any engine.

Yes, my Wife holds 5 Land Speed records in a 996 and they were gained with a set of 79 dollar headers and a fully stock exhaust beyond them.

To me, the best sound is the one you can't hear. Thats why I love building sleepers that look and sound stock and are true Wolves in Sheep's clothing... No bling, no image, all business.

Jake. Please start development on the Boxster exhaust solution. . Musts are power gains, some beautiful piping and tips and valves for sound when needed! Granted Capristo I believe has done this but way over priced.

What we'd build wouldn't sell to the modern Porsche following. I build for efficiency and accept no compromise when developing it. From what I see the sound and the bling are way too heavily considered for us to ever offer an exhaust system.

We've built many headers over the years, but none were created for sound, or looks, and no, you'll never see a blue titanium exhaust tip roll out of our facility! Hell, even the exhaust we built for Cayman X (see page 66 of last month's Panorama) didn't bling, or create some spectacular sound. The 4.2L DFI engine makes it's statement without any assistance.

I get the wolf in sheep's cloth. I have a debadged 03 E55 (the descendant to your E500) with some tuning and the exhaust is stock. Nothing is more fun then seeing a guys face that thinks he's got a fast muscle car get smoked by what he thought was a 10 year old family sedan or taking someone for a ride and hitting the gas.

Would love to hear what the car sounds like. Thanks.

Nothing wrong with the stock exhaust except the lack of sound. Even my mother commented that the car is so quite. I don't expect hp with another system unless you delete the cats.

Yes, I trust the factory engineers know more than us.

And it's SOOO much nicer overall, like during daily driving.

You may be posting this on the wrong forum, Jake.

BTW - I read the article on the Cayman X. Awesome car. Your motor give the Cayman the power it desires. I'd pick this car over anything that Porsche offers new.

You can buy a 2014 with a Raby engine off the showroom floor at Isringhausen Porsche... Or you can order one from them with the same engine :-)

Yes, I trust the factory engineers know more than us.

This holds true with the exhaust and a couple of other things, but these are the same Engineers that fitted the engine with an IMS Bearing that we all know about. Trust that the engineering department is managed by accountants today.
