I used the same guide as Andy shows, sounds very nice!

I used 60mm stainless pipes. I now feel peckish for making exhaust spliters like this (see links below), just because I think it looks cool, does it also reduce the sound level? or what do the do?

Now that is what I want on mine.
Or those on one of the RS's for sale at CLM such as these.

I`ll tack this onto this thread, as it seems the best place to ask.

Have you ever seen one of these missile launchers before and does anybody have an internals diagram ? :)

I'll second that James, the old Monza's were terrible,how could anybody do that to an early 911.

That looks like an Abarth exhaust - or a copy of one.

Here are some photos of 911R #20 fitted with such an exhaust:

:lol: Much as I value your opinion James and would normally bow to your superior judgement in all matters Porsche, I would like to point out, they actually look utterly brilliant and the only shame is, that they don`t produce a 6 or 8 pipe version.

Turns out it`s an Abarth stroke of genius and anything good enough for a Fiat is bound to be an excellent addition to my car.

With stock 0-60 times of only 5.9 secs for my car, a tasty exaust like this can only improve things.

I think this is by far best looking exhaust for 911R or ST, anybody have one?
It looks be be almost straight through, they must be either LOUD or VERY LOUD! :lol: (still I want to get one)

Ville - I have one of those on my car.

I have supplied a few of them to builders of ST/RSR inspired cars - either with or without headers:

How usable they are Andy, do they provide any silencing at all?

They are not badly priced either, less than 600 euros from Germany.

you sound like the 7 year old kids I was at school with .... obviously the more exhaust pipes the faster a car was 8) ....I remember my neighbours go-kart he built was faster than mine because he manufactured 8 tail pipes out of 1"x2" section wood .......... mine only had 2 :( :lol: :lol:

The stainless-steel sport muffler I had on my Carrera 2.7 passed the Brands Hatch noise test with both pipes uncapped. Not sure of the figures but clearly OK for the MSA at the time.
