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?

(puts on Homer Simpson voice) "MMMmm... Megaphones"
Now that is what I want on mine.
Or those on one of the RS's for sale at CLM such as these.
Or one this one
Hmm, dear Santa....

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:

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!
(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
....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

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.
