Hi, Has anyone fitted or had any experience of the Italian Supersprint exhaust system for a 944 s2?. This is sold by Porscheshop. Supersprint claim that this system adds between 10 to 12 extra hp. Thanx Warren |

For 12hp you will need a manifold to go with it.  My Dansk gave me 5 at the wheels 4000rpm up. Not seen anything better.

5 hp at the wheels,that's not far off at all from 10-12 at the crank,and your's is a Lux,the supersprint is for S2. Supersprint is one of the best exhaust manufacturers in the world,10-12hp seems a believable gain for an S2. If you decide to buy ask them if that is a real supersprint exhaust they are selling and not something else,here in italy that same supersprint exhaust costs about 1000E so it seems a little strange to me that porscheshop is selling under 600. |

5 at the wheels is not 10/12 crank. If that was the case my car would have 280 to 300 hp flywheel! (if only) I'd say 8HP would be nearer the mark flywheel. You generaly lose 20% flywheel to wheels. The stock exhaust isn't bad. Only worth doing if you need a new one anyway & a good aftermarket stainless one can be cheaper than a stock Porsche mild steel one. |

I didn't say 5hp is 10/12 flywheel,i said it's not far off,8hp would be right. You gained 8hp on a Lux and we all know it's not that easy to get extra power from the 8v n/a. The s2 is a different beast and 10/12hp gain from the exhaust is more than realistic. I agree with you that it's not worth buying unless the stock one is shot. I'm sure that with the Dansk,that is much cheaper,the gain would be about the same. |

Agreed. Bit OT but how do you keep that thing straight driving it in Rome. Every car I've seen out there has a dent or several

Id expect to lose between 15% and a maximum of 17% on a 944; so that 5hp equates to under 6hp at the flywheel. |

ok,ok,so it's realy almoust 6hp,nothing wrong with being optimistic,is it lol.Let's just say it's too small of a gain for the price of the supersprint,although depends how deep your pockets are. Take a look at the price they have here lol http://www.ricambituning.it/product1.as ... 944&md=563 |
