Our exhausts have earned praise from owners and the press alike, due
to their unique "Jekyll and Hyde" personality. We spend considerable
time and effort during development to achieve remarkable civility when
idling and at part throttle cruising, while also producing a war-cry
wail when full throttle is applied.
Our exhausts are also like
bespoke suits: each is hand made utilizing only the finest casing and
packing materials, and they command respect without calling unwanted
attention to themselves. Sophisticated, refined, and powerful, all at
once. Further, each system is personalized with the original owner's
name on the serial badge.
The short and sweet of it is that
this muffler, like all our mufflers, went through a rigorous development
period where we ironed out some odd sounds that this engine can make
when uncorked.
Our secret is a straight through design passing
inside chambered areas and branching into a balance pipe. This design
really smoothed out the random pops, burbles, and raspiness and produces
a very sweet and full-bodied voice.
We were also careful not to
compromise power output gain with this fine tuning, and despite the
extra sound control, maximum power gains obtained were +11hp and +8ftlbs
of torque corrected to the crank. This is power you can really feel,
and countless Cayman owners report undeniable acceleration improvements
after installing our muffler. We are really pleased with the results
all the way around.
Fitment is bolt on, construction is 14 and
16 gauge T304 and T321 stainless steel throughout, all tubes are one
piece mandrel bent, and the OEM tips can be reused, or you can opt for
our dual 3.15" polished or Diamond Black stainless beveled wall tips.
As
with all AWE Tuning exhaust products, each TIG weld is hand finished
internally, only butt-welded junctions are used, and flange openings are
size matched to their ports, all to produce the smoothest flow
possible. It is this intensive attention to detail that sets AWE Tuning
exhaust products heads and shoulders above the rest.
Our exhaust systems are handbuilt works of art, are award winning, and are what your Porsche deserves.
