yes bmusatti, I did.

well, my boxster is a 986 not a 987 so, as you can see, it's very difficult to make a comparison bwtween the two models: the rear bumper in the lower part is very different in the two models.

yes it's clear. in hte 987 the shape of the mufflers is too big and it's too much "visible". in the 986...well...I dont' know..

I mailed with the fabsoeed team, here are our mails:

Hi,
I'm me again. I watched the online video about the 986 with the exhaust on again and again and then I also talked with some people, I finally got a consideration: is'n it the muffler too much "visible" watching the car from the rear ?
For solving this doubt I need a picture that can show the overview of the car with the exhaust on.
Could you plese send me a picture of it? for me it's very important to get the final decision to buy oyur product.
Waiting for your reply I want thank you once again.


HI
The Fabspeed MAXFLO 986 exhaust TUCKS up under the rear bumper HIGHER than the factory Porsche muffler. Please ignore these know it alls………..

I will send you the pictures. Our 987 muffler is the system that hangs down low .

Joe


I'm still worried about it....

piazzasignoria 12-11-2006 07:03 AM

piazzasignoria 12-14-2006 03:20 AM

Bavarian Motorist 12-14-2006 05:30 AM

So the 987 hangs too low. :(

Lord, things have been so crazy around here it seems I don't have time to help out around here anymore.

I got some feedback from the customer yesterday when he dropped his son's Cayenne off for some bypass pipes, and these were some of his concerns, and he will admit, he is very picky.

Overall, he loves the sound and loudness of the exhaust. He said there is resonance between about 2400 and 2700rpms, but after that it goes away. He also thought the muffler should sit a little higher into the bumper so that the clamps for the tips were not visible from behind, though he said you have to stand back about 20 feet to see them. Unfortunately, there isn't any adjustment for that. He said it was far better than the dansk he had, but that he probably couldn't recommend it to everyone due to the loudness of the exhaust. Some of his friends thought the dansk was aggressive, though he did not.

The sport cats come with the muffler, and we did not do the headers this time around.
