Cordless drill, 1/4" drill bit and about 400 holes.
Did you need to pass any emissions testing?

That sliding clamp trick is used on the 987 exhausts with the dual cannisters, not the 986 single can units.

Exhaust sound was just one more reason I preferred the 987.
My 06 S sounds much, MUCH better than any of the 986's I drove, but post 03/04 986S did sound better than earlier models.
Call me crazy, go ahead, it's okay ( ) but it's not that the exhaust is louder, it just has more rasp and character and sounds a bit more like older air cooled 911's.
My favorite was always my '70 914/6. It had the same muffler as a 911, but I guess the different piping made it more raspy, almost like tearing a big piece of canvas.

I really wish we had some sort of dump system so I could blast the next **************************** on a two wheel tractor (Harley-Davidson) I have to sit next to at a stop light. I guess they think 'cause I'm sitting in a sports-car with the top down, I'm gonna like the sound of a puking two cylinder tractor with open pipes.
If we start running them all off the road, will they stop that "loud pipes save lives" BS?

How many miles could I get away with driving my Box with open exhaust?
