Sports Exhaust on 1999 C4 with Tiptronic

[JGILL]

Hi All,

I need some input re. improving the sound on my 996 C4 with trip. ( I am not looking to improve the performance)I am looking at afterhours mufflers, but I read somewhere that with triptronic system ,it can be an issue, also problem of droning at 2000-3000rpm.I don,t want to spend more than $1200-1300. I don,t use the car for daily commuting, its essentialy a summer/weekend car. Any input will be greatly appreciated.I am new to the forum even though I had this car for afew years.

Thanks

J.

If you do not want droning (and loss of power/torque) stick with a genuine Porsche Sport Exhaust.

I love my PSE, and I bought it on eBay about 5 years ago for $800. The challenge on the PSE is that Porsche has now raised the price to about $6,000. Three or four years ago it was $1,800, then it went to $2,600, now it has shot through the roof. The current pricing is crazy money. Here is one on eBay now for a Buy It Now of $2,900 and it does not have the electrics (they are not real expensive).

Basically, with Porsche's pricing for the PSE it is pretty much out of the question.

Fab Speed had a switchable system available now. Not sure of the drone. I have a buddy who put one of the first ones on his car, but I have not heard it yet.

Shoot, for $3,000 I would probably sell you the PSE off my car with the electronics, switch, relay and everything.

Just got my Fister modified exhaust back and on my car. I love it and even better is the price! I have it on a 1999 C2.
