Rob996 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well, it has been 4 weeks since I purchased my 2001, 996 Cab and I am still smiling. It is mechanically stock and runs like a top. I am still getting used to having the engine in the back and the trunk in the front but I think it is time to start to put some personal touches on the car. What performance upgrades can/should be done. I would like to get a little more sound from the engine without ruining the top down driving experience. I am wondering what upgrades have been done by you guys? Intake? Air filter? Cat Bypass? Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
Rob996 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Has anyone seen/heard this exhaust mod done? I found it on a Rennlist forum. It is a version of the Fister D Sport Muffler. It is a pipe welded between the inlet and outlet pip on the stock muffler to create a partial bypass. From what I have read, it give a nicer sound from the stock quiet exhaust.

malcolm Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 my experience with bypass exhausts are very favourable with tested and proven healthy HP adds especially when coupled with modern cats although the engine is at the other end of the car. cant you add a turbo?
