Default Exhaust system?

Has any one tried a Billy Boat Exhaust System? He specializes in Porsche Exhaust systems. He must know something. His system looks pretty nice. It has something the other systems don't. Does anybody see it?

Here is the link:

Helmholtz resonator. Should be no drone if it is tuned right.

Should be like the stock system with more volume.

Radio Zero, would you buy another one for current car? Or something else?

Are you dissapointed with your Comptech exhaust? The Comptech should already provide more volume.

Several Amuse S2k exhausts have Helmholtz resonators too.

It's like everything! You buy what you like. I am generally happy with the system, but around the 3000 -4000 rpm range it get's loud inside the car. I think the Helmholtz device which this system has (like the stock system) would be guiet on the interior. The Comptech does not drone. It a very good system. If it can be better, I want better, if not I'm happy with it.

The Billy Boat company is great for bigger displacement engines. Take a look at their vid for the Dodge SRT 10 truck. I love how that sounded on my old truck.

Perfect quality too. Great bends and welds in the tube. You really pay for it (over 1000 for cat back for the SRT-10) but it was worth it.

If you have a big budget and only want the best looking/sounding, go Supersprint.
