greenace Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Love the surprisingly loud, slightly raspy sound of the single tailpipe on my 2.7 981, but don't love the look. If I swap to the OEM sports tailpipe, will I notice a difference sound-wise? I don't really want it to change too much - certainly wouldn't want it to be quieter. By the way, I'm not into spending two grand on a PSE, and I don't really want to get into aftermarket exhaust systems just yet - this is really just about improving the aesthetic without massively changing the sound. Any thoughts/experience appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sevenfourate Posted March 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2020 Some sellers / places / people claim a bit more noise from various tail-pipe options for Porsche's - when fitting onto an all original system / headers. Having had various aftermarket systems (resonated mostly) / and or manifolds on different cars - and knowing how subtle the difference can be [Yes,yes: And we all know how obnoxiously loud you can make a vehicle too] - i'd be really surprised if "just" a set of twin Sports tailpipes made any real difference to the sound; either way...... I'm with you on the looks though ! I 'presume' my 2.7 would have come with a single exit as standard. Someone had fitted sports pipes to mine when i got it. But as they were tatty- i've since purchased a new Stainless Steel 'Cup Racer' tail-piece..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.. This is pretty much what I thought. I’m actually more bothered about losing sound rather than adding it. On balance, I’d rather live with look and keep the noise - I’m in the car more often than I am looking at it I guess... Suppose the only way to know is to do it. Can always reverse it if I’m not happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarlechS Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 you should consider the Carnewal GT system, OEM look and quality with the inner reworked and secondary cats deleted. It sounds amazing, lets it breath a little better not anywhere as expensive as a PSE / High quality aftermarket. I'm over the moon with mine! If you just change the tips it will change the note slightly but it won't be night and day, i don't think it would be that noticeable from inside the cabin but definitely from outside.

GrahamHill56 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi Greenace, did you ever do anything about your tail pipe as I am of the same opinion as yourself ie Don't like the "look" but don't really want to increase the noise. If you did change it, what did you go for & was it any noiser. Many thanks Graham Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
