hobdayd Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Hi, Has anyone on here had the Carnewal GT Exhaust fitted on a 3.4 and taken it through an MOT? Anyone done the Sports Cats and taken the car through an MOT? Any issues or all OK. I am sure all is OK but confirmation always welcome. Just about to press the button on this for my car and looking for input. Thanks, Don Edited June 13, 2018 by hobdayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted June 13, 2018 Founder Share Posted June 13, 2018 MoTs were fine with a Carnewal GT, there’s plenty of people using them so you’d know if there was a problem for sure. Cant speak personally about the sports cats, but the whole point is that they will pass an MoT so I’d be very surprised if they caused the car to fail...

11891952 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi Don, Have a set of Carnewal back boxes on mine, no issues at the MOT, just a comment from the garage (indy specialist) about how good it sounded starting in their workshop.? Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobdayd Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Good to hear. I was going to go ahead anyway but positive MOT comments help the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StuLD Posted June 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just got back from Carnewal today. Had the GT exhaust fitted after much research. MOT is due in Oct but Carnewal exhaust is not a detrimental move in terms of emissions and I have not heard of anything untoward. Out of interest he has done over 1300 993 exhausts and so very much knows everything you need to know about exhausts and is a huge enthusiast. If anyone out there is thinking of doing the exchange it is well worth it. I took my 14yo son to ride shotgun (getting him off his iPhone was a major achievement!!!) and we set off at 3am, caught the 06.20 shuttle from F'stone to Calais and 35 mins later we were on our way. The Satnav took us on the Northern route (towards Ghent etc) and then down to Maarkedal in just under 2 hours. Schoolboy error on my behalf I forgot to read Gert's comprehensive email and map and paid for it by relying on the Satnav which tried to take us down a few no entries and a circuitous route around Maarkedal but we eventually found Carrnewal (Gert, you need a larger sign!!!) and got to our appointment in time. We met Gert and received a great welcome and drove the car into Carnewal's large workshop adorned with Gert's 993's (which brought back pleasant memories!). He then showed us through to the waiting area, replete with merchandise(all high end stuff here, no cheap Chinese imports) and said he'd only be an hour. His charming wife brought out a jug off coffee and cakes and chocolates which were very much welcomed and within an hour we heard the rumbling and growl of the Carnewal GT exhaust. What an amazing sound. There are many reviews on YT about this exhaust but I have to say it is no comparison to listening to experiencing it live. I went for the twin tail piece as well and the car has been transformed. Gert told us it would need about 100 miles to really bring out the best of the conversion as the car's computer would adjust to its new exhaust. We took the route via Lille back to Calais which was a more straight forward run with much better roads and as the miles went by we could here the incremental difference from the new exhaust. Again, less than 2 hours and we were boarding an earlier train back to UK and never stopped smiling. In summary, if you are thinking of upgrading your exhaust then this has to be the way to go. Gert is also an absolute pleasure to deal with and to quote a well known beer advert. If Carlsberg did garages they'd probably look like this!!! A major US sports brand once said 'Just do it!'. I could not agree more. Some stills here but have short clip of exhaust sound which I'll have to post separately. Get after it folks.

hobdayd Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Stu, did you consider the sports cats and if not why not. Thanks for the response by the way. Luckily I live near Dover Folkestone so easy for me to get across. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavrik Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I thought about taking the road trip over to Belgium but my bog standard factory exhaust (94db static) pinged the drive-by db meters at Brands recently! ... Got blacked & told it's too loud!! Had to short shift for the rest of the day :-/ Put me off getting the Carnewal as I do as fair track days in my S 3.4 987.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to short shift for the rest of the day :-/ Put me off getting the Carnewal as I do as fair track days in my S 3.4 987.1 That's the same reason I keep hesitating to go ahead with the Gert GT system. But must say Brands have been an arse over sound for quite a while now. I tried to take the CR (stock) on and they rejected it for being too noisy even though the same car had passed at both Bedford and Snetterton (both MSV tracks!!). There have been lots of people unhappy with the Brands noise police who are being a bit of a jobsworth on all accounts. I think im still going ahead with the Gert sytem as I loathe the quietness of modern pork, it just lacks any drama in sound. A sportscar should sound like a sportscar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
