Mike D'Silva Posted 29April, 2013 Report Share Posted 29April, 2013 I just ordered one..... http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p87007.htm Anyone else on this forum have any experience with them? I'm looking for something that is louder than stock, but not terribly loud. The price seems right and I'll be keeping my stock system just in case. Will upload some vids and photos when it's fitted.

T-Man Posted 29April, 2013 Report Share Posted 29April, 2013 Not familiar with the exhaust but Gert is a good guy and stands right behind his product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-p Posted 29April, 2013 Report Share Posted 29April, 2013 What T said. Have had a couple of dealings with Gert and he is terrific to deal with. Look forward to hearing it... C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apogee Posted 30April, 2013 Report Share Posted 30April, 2013 Remember that you have to send him your old exhaust or pay extra $$. He mods the original exhaust by removing the cat and baffling in the muffler I believe. There are actually How-tos on the planet 9 forum which shows you how to do the same. i.e. get a local exhaust company to do the mods for you.

_Tony Posted 30April, 2013 Report Share Posted 30April, 2013 not the same car, but i think this carnewal exhaust on this 993 sounds fantastic Will be great to hear yours when you get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 30April, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 30April, 2013 I haven't been able to hear any Cayman S with JUST the GT exhaust.. On youtube, I found the Cayman R before and after... There is also a Boxster but it also has the headers modded to have just the 200CEL cats which make it sound louder... There appears to be lots of comments about it being MORE than stock, but not too loud and no drone.. although some say there is drone.. I figured, the only way is to buy one myself, get it fitted, and post the video up myself. Don't think I will worry about dyno figures though... If i get 10hp more, fantastic.. would I notice 10hp? probably not... I'd probably get as much performance gain by eating a bowl of sultana bran and spending an hour in the bathroom to lose a few kilos. sorry for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 10May, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 10May, 2013 well, the exhaust has arrived..... Local dealer wanted $550 to fit it... So I figured I would have a crack at it myself this weekend..... Hopefully I won't break anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Man Posted 10May, 2013 Report Share Posted 10May, 2013 This should help a little Mike. Remember to be very liberal with the WD40 on all the fasteners. ttp://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/46-EXHAUST-Muffler/46-EXHAUST-Muffler.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D'Silva Posted 12May, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 12May, 2013 Sounds good Mike. Did you install it yourself? yes I did in the end. The hardest part was getting to the 3 nuts on the exhaust flange.. in a slightly awkward location but using 3 different types of sockets and spanners had them off. They probably needed to be replaced.. The tip about wd40 was a good one. I think anyone that can change their own oil, can do this. On another note, Gert (Carnewal) tells me that I have to do 60 miles or so for the final sound... I was worried it would get quieter but he said it will become louder! So I will do another video at that point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike D'Silva Posted 13May, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 13May, 2013 Usually yes... another independent quoted 220 but at the end of the day, it's done and now I know how filthy my car is under there. Next step is to try and clean it.... might save a couple of kilos in dirt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 13May, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 13May, 2013 How much did you say it cost all up? Sounds great, the Boxster might be next..... Steve total of 895 euro, so under 1200 aud. However, if you send your stock catback system to him, he will refund you 400 euro... ie, the cost is really only 495 euro. I opted not to send mine back purely because I like to have all the stock parts for any car or bike I own. Plus I am sure the freight cost would have eaten into part of the refund. I'm happy for anyone nearby to come and have a listen... it really is so much better in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
