The car is running great but is too loud...I kept the stock manifold and first section of stock pipe from the manifold...I used the rear section, including the rear muffler, as it was stainless from the '80 931 parts car cause it looked in great shape...I ran a straight pipe to join the two...EEEK...way too loud...Knew the neighbours would freak so added the little front muffler...It made it a little quieter but I can still hear the think from blocks away...

Does the cat. quiet the car that much or is the shiny, pretty stainless muffler from the 931 shot...Anybody have an idea...The car is attracting way too much attention cause of the loud throaty exhaust....

Mike I can hear your car from Edmonton.

It's nice, loud schmoud, if it goes it goes, as long as it's below the "legal" Decibal requirement it's good.

Sounds like a similar set up to mine. I did the header change though. I have a similar if not same set up after that though. The 931/951 muffer does not muffle as much as the standard unit since the turbos actually quiet the exhaust quiet a bit. Go and have a resonator put on and it will quiet your car to acceptable levels. Mine was real loud. Many of my neighbors commmented. I went and got the resonator put on and ..... no more comments.... except for my new air horns!!!

Check out my exhaust in "my projects" on my site http://www.geocities.com/eturbo924 It is now painted black and the headers are now wrapped, but the photos will give you an idea of my system now. I will update the pages this week to show more.
