Danny Posted 18November, 2010 Report Share Posted 18November, 2010 HI All, I realise this may not appeal to everyone. I'll set the scene...about a year ago i bit the bullet and fitted a set of SSI's and Dansk sport muffler to my 3.2. Whilst i love the new exhaust note and increase in performance; i don't like (or to be truthful-absolutely hate) the big 80mm exhaust tip that sticks out of the rear of my car , which has now turned a lovely shade of yellow / gold!!!! :-( Upon a recent visit to my mechanic for its annual check up i noticed an identical muffler to mine in his workshop which had arrived for another customer. What i found interesting about this was that the tip arrived separately and was not attached to the muffler and had to be welded on. i noticed that the outlet hole on the muffler was only about 50m in diameter and the tip was 80m; same as mine!!! So a big exhaust tip on Dansk sport muffler is only there for show. I was absolutely elated to learn that i could cut off my ugly tip and have welded on a 59mm tip (standard 3.2 size) and fit the black sleeve over the end which is also standard for these cars. So i did it. The result is a standard looking car from the rear with the benefits of a performance exhaust. Again i understand that this may not appeal to everyone and some people like big exhaust tips; but for those who don't this modification can be done and it cost me $150.00 to have the big tip cut off at the base of the muffler and fabricate a new stainless steel "standard looking" tip at a specialist centre.

D-banger Posted 24November, 2010 Report Share Posted 24November, 2010 Great story Danny, Well mine is totally standard and rather quiet. I have been thinking about an upgrade like yours. Am looking forward to hearing yours at the next SMT we're on. Like you I think I'd prefer the louder sound but the standard look. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyS Posted 25November, 2010 Report Share Posted 25November, 2010 Hi Doug, I am toying with the same treatment for the 996. They can sound a bit like a vacuum cleaner with the stock exhaust. Any suggestions out there in forum land for an economical way I can upgrade an exhaust (or part therof) to give it a nicer note?

matara Posted 12April, 2012 Report Share Posted 12April, 2012 Andy, They can sound a bit like a vacuum cleaner with the stock exhaust. Have a look at this cheap mod to the standard exhaust to give it a bit more growl. I'm thinking of doing this with perhaps dual servos so I can switch it on and off from the cabin. Certainly sounds a lot better. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=497002&mid=33886 Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vas930 Posted 12April, 2012 Report Share Posted 12April, 2012 Careful what you do guys. As I said the EPA has gone mad at the moment. Thousands of casr booked in for noise tests. Its harder to pass than you think. I had my test yesterday I know of a guy with a stock 3.2 who is having a hard time. Yes, a stock 3.2. If your car is post 1980 its even harder.
