Loudest possible? Straight pipes. Costs very little, but highly illegal and terrible for the environment. Please do not go the straight pipe method. It is obnoxiously loud.

When I had B&B headers, cats, and exhaust on my 3.6 it could be heard easily from a mile away.

This race exhaust from Lucas Fabrication will probably meet your criteria .

question is...that without even resonators on it would it pass the DB requirement most tracks now have?

Around $1200 for the x-pipe design - roughly $2200 if you add resonators (i.e. race mufflers) .

Borla 987.1 exhaust, NHP catless race headers, and cat delete mids sounded pretty mean on my 986! I went back to the Dansk sausage muffler for city use as it was much more civilized/tame for daily use.

secondary cat deletes and look for an exhaust that has the word "race" in it and weights less than 15 lb
I just sold my Stebro race exhaust to another forum member, this thing was MEAN and LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUD

I have a Borla exhaust and custom headers. The Borla was on before I replaced with stock. It is loud and mean. The PO told me it sounds meaner with the custom headers. PM me if you are interested.

Not quite ! My custom 9ff catback with 2.5' inlets and 3' outlets straight out to the 90mm tips sounds a lot better .

I'll stay right behind you until your bikini top flies off, and then I'll pass you .

The top will be home for extra weight savings, then I'm getting a NG tube like those crazy fat women trying to be skinny brides, there's an extra savings... so ha!

Why do you want "the loudest meanest sounding Boxster there is"? Is it a "look at me" thing or do you derive enjoyment from annoying people? Just curious.

I'm glad I'm not the only one...what's the point of being loud and obnoxious? Mufflers exist for a reason. Nobody wants to hear that crap.

Search the forum and you'll find a few other owners who said the same - and then regretted it later. Be sure that is what you reallly want before you spend any $$.
