Nige Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My car has been at Turbo Thomas for a couple of months as a development mule. Excited to be picking it up this weekend with his new RSR muffler, this uses the standard 3.2 headers but fits behind the early rear bumper. Well pleased and sounds so much better than the temporary but very loud muffler I had before. The cross section is radiused rectangle rather than round, internals are top secret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevvy Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Looks (and sounds) great mate, look forward to the first hand impressions following collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I had a day driving around in it the other week, but that was his Gt3 style. I was really impressed with that one but this sounds a little angrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one in two out that fits to the stock pre-muffler, although mine is straight through. Fits to both IB and early/backdate with standard headers/heat exchangers. His Instagram shows all the different tailpipe configs, standard, Gt3, etc. https://www.instagram.com/ttexhausts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Nige, do you know what sort of db this puts out? I was browsing Richards site yesterday and looking at his RS/RSR boxes. What stopped me getting his gt3 style one last time I was there was a fear of not passing any noise tests at trackdays. So I ended up with a beast of a back box that's almost full width of the car (2 in/2 out). Did you ever manage a drive by vid? In my man-maths way I was thinking of getting a new box sorted before I fit and hack the rear RSR bumper I bought. can one be capped to reduce noise? I see he sells those cookie cutter ends, do they act as a noise baffle? anyone know? or just a period look for older cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mean in green Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Those inserts do nothing to reduce decibels Mark - they’re just thin sheet material fabricated for the look, TIG’d in place / no baffle effect etc. I like the look personally. I have seen them with two “cookie” inserts not welded in the same orientation on the same silencer though (?!), so any interested party might ask about that if ordering.

Sidewaysfun Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi Mark, Can't really help with the above question, but have you thought about bolt on silencers for the track? I know of TVR's that successfully use some for that very reason. https://www.actproducts.co.uk/product/si06-porsche-gt3-sliencers-pr/ Something like the link, that you could tailor to your tailpipe diameter and then install some better retention clips rather than jubilee style (to stop them flying off at speed on track!)

MarkJ Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Cheers Simon, that's what I thought. I think the cookie cutter pipe ends only look right on 60's/70's RS/RSR cars personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi Sideways, they look like they would do the trick but they do look f-ugly ! Could be an option though for the ever decreasing number of track days we do nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewaysfun Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I know the feeling. I haven't been behind the wheel on track for a few years now, but the more I look into it and the ever decreasing noise entry requirements, the more I think about sacking off the 911 for track use and buying a specifically quiet track car. My last car had a 3" turbo back exhaust and only measured 78dB during static sound tests. I just never imagine seeing that sort of noise from a tuned 911 whilst retaining the sweet flat 6 soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 noise rules at tracks are a stupid joke to appease a few moany locals. In Italy last week there were friggin scooters on the roads making more noise than my 911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we moved next to a racetrack and complained to the council that the tracks were too quiet, that it would cancel the opposite noise complaints..
