In fact, I wish that my exhaust had some . That way I could back up to the window of the nearest Starbucks and blow someone's crapacino, dunkarino, pilates - latte right out of their hand !

I suppose there's no way to get my hands on an original revision then. You have the same idea of an exhaust that I do, it's not a daily driver so I want it to sound mean!

If you going to start modding it anyway and you want it to sound mean headers are going to make it scream on the top end so sweet you will want to wind it again and again.

Last I knew, Tawheed had one on his boxster , and he was looking to sell it. I haven't seen any participation on the forum from him in quite awhile. You might want to send him a pm .

Another option would be, to contact Fabspeed and ask them if they would be willing to make you a race exhaust based on their original design . The only real difference is in the size of the mufflers, or resonators as some like to call them . The rest of the exhaust is the same .

I saw tawheeds post just a few minutes ago, but for $900 I think I'd rather just go new.. My personal opinion though. Unfortunately I don't have the cash flow yet to go all out with headers as well, so I think for the time being the slip on system would be just fine for now. Good thing I didn't order anything yet, I think I'll contact fabspeed

My (thank god never was) future ex father in law, (an idiot) only had one saying that seemed to be truth based. He always told me boat was an acronym for "bring over another thousand", as in maintenance cash. I don't have one for Porsche but you get the idea.

Well another boat saying is, the best days of owning one is the day you buy it, and the day you sell it. So hopefully this won't apply to my new car!

Well, I just ordered their current race exhaust. The rep I talked to explained the differences between the versions, I think I'll be quite happy with it. Couple days, excited!
