nice clip, Penland. That sounds pretty nice, not at all annoying.

That is what mine sounds like. Not annoying at all. Thanks for the video.

So am I wrong in assuming that this exhaust will sound the same as Che's from Top Speed, or is there something about this one that it doesn't sound quite the same as Che's?

Probably the same muffler but I have never heard one close up.

Took the plunge

After reading good reviews here and watching some YouTube video I took the plunge and got me the Charlie Chan muffler. $299 with shipping on ebay; 3 days later it was on my door. Just had it installed and must say that I'm joining the buy Johnny Danger a beer group. Luv it. Much deeper sound and just the right loudness. Learning something new every day off this forum; thanks for all for posting pics and especially the video's so I could hear the difference from stock muffler.

Just tried it and the item has been removed. Just get into ebay and check around under Boxster Mufflers and see what comes up.
