01 / The Story

Eight months chasing the right note.

After picking up my 996TT, the one thing it consistently lacked was a truly satisfying exhaust note. I spent months talking with owners and friends, including my close friend Hunter Kerhart, who has run nearly every system from Kline to Speedtech to OEM drill-mods. I ran OEM and Scart myself. Every option had drawbacks, and the same issues kept coming up.

02 / The Problems

What every other system gets wrong.

Catless race pipes

Flow well, but drone, odor, and zero emissions compliance ruin the daily experience.

Wrong geometry

X-pipe design, tube diameter, and drone-tube routing all shape the final tone - most systems compromise here.

Under-sized tubing

2.5" systems choke the tone. 3" with proper sport Catalytics is the ideal balance of character and refinement.

Poor tip options

Every other system had lackluster tip options, the exhaust art form should be continued even to the tops. Our X50 OEM-style and slash-cut tips solve that.

03 / The Build

A full 3D-modeled system.
Engineered, not adapted.

“The cleanest, smoothest-sounding 996TT exhaust I have ever heard. High-pitched under load, no highway drone, and best of all - no smell.”
