I've had mine over two years and it just keeps getting better! Booked in for fitting on the 15th at CPS - so will order it tomorrow so it arrives in time. Gert quotes 3 days to deliver. I have heard performance exhausts take time to 'bed in' and the tone / timbre improves with age, is this true..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the sound has improved with age, I think it takes a few hundred miles or so for the exhaust to bed-in following Gerts re-work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO there is no hard and fast rule here. I have also heard that if you are seen to be the sort that declares mods they will be more relaxed in the event of an off. And I totally get what folk are saying about it uses the genuine Pork exterior so how would anybody tell. But I have already opened the 'can o worms' by talking about it on the forum. If I am involved in an expensive claim I've heard the insurance companies will trawl social media and forums to see if this sort of stuff has been talked about. This is the exact statement I got back from Gert... "The Carnewal GT exhaust is an internally modified original Porsche exhaust that is sold on an exchange base. The original exhaust and thus the Carnewal GT is made of stainless steel, although a lower quality of stainless steel. The Carnewal GT exhaust gives +5 to +7 HP." I will send this to the insurance folk, give them a max of £40 (the £40 was based on a 10% / 30bhp uplift) and see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Don't look at the mpg on your computer for a while after fitting. Your right foot tends to get slightly heavier and you tend to hold the gears a tad more...just for the infectious smile of a sporty exhaust note. A sports car should sound proper, but not too loud to be offensive/chav. Carnewal on the 987 and 981 sounds better than the PSE or bypass pipes on the 986. Fruity but no drone.

NutsyH Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 John When I bought my Carnewal, Gertbsaid around 1000 miles for the ecu to recognise it and reset. He was about spot on. I was going up the Furka Pass when I felt a distinct change, and my buddy following (an engineer) heard the change in the exhaust note. The sound has got better over the last couple of K miles, particularly under hard accelaration. You wont notice much difference when cruising.
