What Exhaust do you like?

[Benny986]

dansk headers, high flow cats, and the dansk sausage on my S.

i think the sausage is a lil restrictive though. i will be changing mine out this summer.

adding the evo intake made the whole thing sound LOTS better : )

Benny, did you install the Evo yourself? Do you think it was worth it and have you had any CEL's with anything? Seems like headers make a huge diffrence on these cars, expecially after I watched the Fabspeed comparison video.

yeah, i installed it. honestly, the hardest part was putting 1 last bolt in to secure the heat shield.

the whole thing is tedious, but its not hard by any means. i didn't have to break the OE intake box, well at least not much, i could still put it all back in, and no one would know the difference.

was it worth it? if you are looking for sound, then yeah. if you are looking for just a lil more umph, then sure. but this is no magic pill. it will not transform your car into a beast.

combined with my other mods, it works well.

no cels. (knocks on wood. but I do have a pre-existing slow to read o2 sensor. I had that prior to this install. its still there.)

headers are good, as are the cats, and a chip, if you can run higher octane once ina while. I have the revo program, that allows me to switch between 100octane and 93 and 91 and stock programs. the 100oct program is pretty fun : )

Jwade, I would vote for the Porsche Sport Exhaust. No resonance issues.

or you can do the Pedro exhaust hack. This muffler is an OEM muffler with a bypass pipe going around the muffler. Ignore my ugly tips, it was a temporary muffler.

I like my stock '00 S exhaust that has been modified to sound like the PSE. Mostly because it was free and doesn't add any weight, unlike the PSE.

Jwade,
You are in luck! I was just browsing thru Ebay and i came across:
Item number: 180216228576. This is a direct bolt on fit on your 01 S. It is extremely rare to find a used PSE out there.
I have the same identical PSE and i love it a LOT. I didnt bother installing the
vacuum/electronic switches since the sound is very subtle with no resonance.

[jwade]

I saw it. Thx.

Quick question? Does this exhasut sound alot different than the stock version?

Have you ever posted up a video? Would love to hear what it soundslike on the S version engine. Jon

As for an aftermarket exhaust. I think you need to decide what's more important to you, loud sound or no resonance. It's hard to have a loud exhaust without also having resonance. The only resonance-free options I know of are PSE, Gemballa, Pedro mod, and I believe Dansk.
