Yeah, a Boxster S with £2k of GTS exhaust upgrade - I sat behind one for quite a lot of our Euro trip. You should hear it in a tunnel, it's biblical :evil: :driving:

Is there any system which gives a comparable noise to the 981 GTS...?

Got to say after listening to that clip twice my BCS boxes are virtually the same barring the dirty ,raspy burble between gears , that sound on my car is only noticeable on the overrun when pausing between gears id say :?
DPG , Halifaxbantam & Stevo M3 have all heard them roadside & stationary but Taz is the only member to have been in passenger seat for a drive
 
For anyone following Nige (BCS) has asked if i can go over mid Sept to have a set of the "Prestige" boxes fitted for a trial period , try out for a few weeks then decide which ones to go with ?
Ive really settled with the current Sport boxes though & if the others are much quieter i think i will opt for the Sport as the keepers
 
Interested in how subtle the prestige ones are in normal driving before unleashing.

Even the std exhaust just above 3k sounds as though you are trying to race from a standing start. I feel slower in this than my 3.0si from standstill as conscious about the noise I'm making!

Even if some people may not love the sound from the clip, the forum has to be thankful for your effort for this and lots of updates.. over a long period. Creating new boxes isn't just a 5 min job so cheers :thumbsup: Once everything is settled they sound like two options as an alternative to the rest of the market at a similar price.

Completely agree, can't wait to hear the prestige version when it's on Andy's car. Just need a comparison with the sport version. Dan? You lined up for duty?

Sure am Stevo.

I want to make a better vid of the Sport boxes too so if they are still on by the turnpike meet I'll have another go.
 
They'l be off by then but maybe back on if that makes sense ?
Happy to have another Scartop brew & bun meet before i go down to BCS on the 19th Sept
Sun 6th or 13th Sept :thumbsup:

mr wilks - do you find that bits of trim/loose change vibrate when you use mid throttle at 2-3k?

Nope , nowhere in the rev range in any gear gives off any vibration & for the record , my car has no loose trim :poke: :oops:

The lack of roof means everything wobbles together :rofl: :P. And in your opinion, how loud is the cold start? Loud enough to irritate neighbours in the morning?

when is the other box being fitted?

"Boxes" ! Proposed day is Sat 19th Sept , i go away for 2 weeks the day after though so will struggle to offer any input during that time :(
 
i thought maybe you would be fitting then next week

any ideas how long you will try the new box?

Its obviously at its peak on cold start but i crack it up in garage & i can sit in the car with roof down for a few mins before driving out & it isn't deafening to the point i can't tolerate it or i worry the ridge tiles will loosen off the roof :D

I think i will know withing a day which i prefer but i would hope to be on whatever set i'm sticking with for the Turnpike meet on Oct 25th
I'm going to ask Nige if a mini meet in St Helen's is poss on the day the boxes are swapped over
 
I'd be ok for 13th Andy, slight shame you won't have the prestige set on then. It's a nice ride out to that Scartop now I know where it is, not bad brekky either. Should also have completed the annual big detail on mine by then. Shout if it's on.
