Hi,
I've been contemplating fitting a more sporty back box to my 911 & would like some advice.
At present it is the original full system which is in suprisingly good condition but I just want it to sound a bit nicer, more throaty so thought i would replace the back box.
My only concern is that it a 3.2 Cabrio so I don't want something that is too loud with the roof down or that drones at motorway speeds ( been there, done that :wink: )

What would you recommend ?
Many thanks, Phil.

Hi,

I've been in contact with Turbo Thomas who seems to be able to offer what I want & he's said if it's too loud he can modify it to quieten it down so that may be a good option.
Seems a very helpfull guy & has good feedback on the forums.
If anyone has one of his mufflers, are you happy with it ?
Will let you know if & when I get one.

Phil.

Update.
Well after lots of reading up & listening to you-tube clips I've bought a new back box :)
I spoke to Turbo Thomas again & he was very helpful but is also busy moving premises & didn't seem sure when he could make one for me.
I then got chance of a Designtek box & I couldn't resist.
Not cheap but quaility is superb.
I removed the old ( original ) box without too much hassle & the new one fitted up easily, I just needed to modify one of the straps to get a good fit.
Went for a run out & I'm very happy with the sound.
At tickover & driving around town at under 4000 rpm it's not noisy at all, just a deeper burble but once over 4000 it's sounds superb.
I didn't want it too noisy when driving with the roof down & for me it's just about right, although it will probably be too quiet for some.
Thanks for the replies, Phil.
