I want a good exhaust
- Thread starter Guest

There are a few options for proper systems that have had a bit of design put into them like Essential Styling (Janspeed) or Hayward & Scott. They aren't exactly cheap though.

Actually, I am also considering a new exhaust for my 944S -- I will need a new back box by for the upcoming MOT (current one is shot to bits, apparently), and was wondering about getting something 'nice'. The bit sticking out the back (down pipe?) is slightly rusty, so something that looks shiny would be nice, I don't want to make a louder noise, but I found a clip of a Janspeed vs vanilla exhaust on the internet somewhere the other day and I liked the more refined 'purr' it gave. But then Janspeed are also £££, and I presume that would mean replacing the whole exhaust.
Is stainless steel worth it?
If you care what the bit you can see looks like then you want it to be stainless and if you care how long the system lasts you want it to be stainless as well. I believe you can fit the back part of the Janspeed system to the rest of your standarrd one so you don't need to replace it all (at once).
The downpipe is the pipe that comes down from the manifold (or header) on the engine to the exhaust proper under the car BTW.

Certainly the case with the one for the Turbo.
Another thing to note is when ESS & Janspeed developed their exhausts they deliberately kept them below 98 dB so as not to get you thrown off on track days.
All stainless steel exhausts sound a bit naff when you first put them on. This my be due to thinner section tube, or the harmonics of the tube, they do improve with age though.

How loud is the standard exhaust?

About 96 dB IIRC. You may find reference on Rick Cannells web site.
