Looks in really good condition and is a fair price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone for the original OEM muffler with bypass pipes simply because I don't want the extra volume all of the time. It's not that much louder than stock at low revs but the wife is aware of it in the Waitrose car park. If this was my weekend toy I'd keep it on. It's a good sound.

phazed Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I must say that I do like the stock sound from my 987 with sports flaps. A nice stealth like sound for normal use with a wondrous howl at higher revs. Switch to sport and the tone is slightly deeper and louder with arguably one more bhp due to the open nature of the system 😁 that I would love on my 986.

ATM Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I do like to be quiet occasionally. I suspect the ideal would be something with valves in the 986. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 surely the switchable option for the 986 is the spyder performance valved u bends, as below: https://www.spyderperformance.co.uk/shop/exhausts/valvetronic-sets/porsche-986-boxster-spyder-performance-exhaust-bypass-valve-set/ but for phazed theres probably not a lot of point as the toyosports backbox is already basically an exhaust bypass!

kdh Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I had thought of going down the Spyder route, but you're talking about £8-900 fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddie Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 That Spyder valve bypass route for me is completely over the top, anyone who uses one should get an immediate asbo! Also any connection with this annoying 🔔end who made this video who exclude it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazed Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 (edited) Does that system just discharge the gases into the open without going through the rear box? If so, that will be really annoying on the road! My 987 switchable exhaust is nothing like that and in fact, when I have used it on Track Days, the noise level on sport setting is only two dB higher than the standard stealth exhaust system sound. Less than 90 dB if I remember correctly Edited March 14 by phazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddie Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 @phazed yes it turns it into a completely unsilenced car effectively! How anyone believes that is acceptable is quite frankly beyond me, but then I am getting old🤣. Sorry already there according to SWMBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdh Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I agree, I think it's crude and I can't imagine it sounds that good. The open pipes are actually about four feet apart and the gases come out in front of the back or each rear wheel. I'm also very surprised that my Very Nice Sounding Exhaust hasn't sold yet. It's on Ebay now and I've had some really stupid enquiries. (Buy a Chinese one and good luck to you.) As for Joel (clip above) how do these guys get so much money to buy so many cars? You tube ads don't pay that much. There's a channel called Cars with Luke with a youngish guy who owns and tests all manner of exotica.

Ordinarily I wouldn't be excited about a standard oem backbox but this will sound like it's just come out the factory as the condition is mint. Who knows, if I put it on and it's too quite and yours is still available I might buy it still. Not sure how much of the nice loud exhaust is down to all the leaks in the backbox. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I removed the old back box it rattled as some major part inside had broken off, probably part of the muffling. I was going to sell it, but when I looked the other day one of the seams had split underneath, so I left it out for the scrap man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only done a couple of test drives with mine but will be doing a 40 mile round-trip on Tuesday, hopefully with the roof down, weather permitting and will know more on my return!

Roof down I found was 'quieter' and the resonance boom effect was reduced compared to roof up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
