Craig Bradley Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hello all, I'm booked in to have my exhaust modified by a company called PCW exhausts. I was wondering if anyone had had it done by them and were they happy with the result? I have found one video online of a Cayman that has had this mod done, plenty of BMWs and a few 911s. Ideally wanted some feedback from a Cayman owner who has had it done or has a car that has had it done previously. Thanks in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to hear it out of interest. Where are they and what’s the cost if you don’t mind me asking - for reference ? ****Theres at least three other places I know off doing this kind of work on Porka’s, inc a Porsche Indy in central England and an Exhaust specialist in Essex (?) I believe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bradley Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have seen a few too with proves varying from 250 to 600. This is the link: I dont know of the video does the sound justice.. but I was expecting a little more noise. I had a similar mod done to my s2000 and it sounded good. Once I decatted it sounded fantastic! But i dont want to decat the Porsche lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Most owners use Carnewal in Belgium, they do an exchange deal on the rear silencer. Also be aware of the noise level, especially if you want to track your car, a lot of tracks have noise limits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Spicer Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Is it an exhaust bypass? If so it would be the same as the bypass I had done on my 2.9. Gives it a nice little burble, nothing excessive, and tbh you don't notice it that much unless you have the windows open- you have a whole engine behind your head/between you and the exhaust after all! It's quite loud on startup while the car warms up, especially in the cold. I don't think the neighbours like it but it settles down as soon as the revs drop after it's warmed up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bradley Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 I presume so, they open it up, sprinkle a little fairy dust then close it up, not sure exactly what they do to be honest lol. I have asked two companies and they are a little reluctant to tell. That sounds really nice though 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds really nice though 👌 Thanks, with the Carnewal one they open up the silencers and 'sprinkle some fairly dust' 😂It's invisible so you can't tell other than hearing it. With the exhaust bypass, they weld some additional pipes onto the exhaust that allow some (but not all!) of the exhaust gases to go around the silencer. You can see these pipes underneath the silencers in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bradley Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks for the info Joe. Had the exhaust done by PCW - although have not been able to drive it due to weather conditions much. The exhaust definitely improves the overall driving experience and i love the fact the car is still standard. Its not too loud either, just nice when you open up the throttle. Cold start sounds great, especially when i start her up from cold in the garage Absolutely no drone either. I highly recommend PCW to anyone who maybe on the fence. Just tried to upload the cold start video but even when condensed the clip is 25x too big to add as an attachment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bradley Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi guys and gals, So I made a video and put it on youtube, here's the link: https://youtu.be/fnV7qSHrN84 Hopefully that link works. I think the cold start bit st the beginning was actually before the mod 🤦♂️ I will make another better one at some point. Gives you an idea though. Please like and subscribe 😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a video of how you get in there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Bradley Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Haha! Thanks. It's certainly cosy! I'll upload a proper cold start one tomorrow. Sounds epic on cold start. The video definitely shows post exhaust mod! What a muppet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
