Opinions - Chrome Tipped Sport Muff

I installed a sport muffler I have on a trial basis, and can purchase for a very reasonable price. Chrome tips wouldn't have been my first choice, but now that it's on... I kinda like it with the silver paint and chrome bumperettes.

Whaddya think?? Is it a keeper? Opinions please.

BTW - the car is DEFINITELY louder :D (I drove around tonight with that EXACT grin on my face... especially through freeway underpasses!). It also feels faster... is there a standard hp increase with the sport? and if so, how much? (running Webers).

Thanks in Advance!

I'm not a fan of anything but steel pipes for exhaust.

But I gotta say, I think that looks awesome.

Jared,

Yeah, I have to agree with Jack. The first photo showing the Silver paint, chrome bumper guards and tips along with the black emblem and grill looks fantastic. BTW, I like the license plate too.:cool:

I have to agree. I would have never chosen chrome, but on your car it looks great! :cool:

Looks great!!

I want a pair!

I say keep 'em. The chrome tips look fine. I agree with the other statements, they look great with your cars chrome trim and beautiful silver paint.

Easily swapping mufflers is one of the few benifits that running carbs can give you. The sport muffler is a really neat item. :cool:

I just love that car. S.

Damn! I shoulda listened to Curt and Cornpanzer - and put one of these on a long time ago. Great sound! I'm keeping it - thanks for the comments.

Tom, I'm told it was ordered through Pelican - not actually sure of the manufacturer. The chrome tips are not (easily) removable.

I wish mine was black. Not ever pleased, Shawn.

Muffler. You smarty pants. Ba ha ha. :D

Who owns the steel wheeled pavement ripper above? It has a 911R emblem and a serious attitude problem. I love it!

Shawn.

JCR - i think they look great on your car. are they cut at an angle where they meet the body of the muffler? that would really complete the look.

Shawn,

David Mohlman owns that car now, I believe. I think it has a 2.9 twin plug MFI. Started out as a 72 (obviously) E.

Who built your muffler? Is it standard sport? The pipes look slightly larger than normal is why I ask. Or perhaps they've been shortened a little?

Jack

My muffler is a Dansk pn 911.111 02500 DUAL 31 (the rest is covered by a muffler strap) Pelican parts purchase.

I cut nearly 7 inches off...just to be slightly past the bumperettes. No performance difference from stock to short.

Very even flow from both outlets. Very sweet sound. I had it JetHot coated gray. I see that it is black now...I just checked in the garage...the internet change has not hit the car as yet.

Thanks for the ownership tip. Shawn.

edit: I like the black...Ace Hardware - high temp - rattle can?

No, the chrome ends straight. If you look at the 2nd pic, the back edge of the chrome is actually painted black to hide the attachment - which is some sort of a weld. Then the pipe diameter narrows down to the actual muffler. I like your idea better. Figures... as you have one of the coolest 911s I've ever seen.

The shortened pipes have a better look, and I'd keep the ash color. I think it looks better than black (FWIW).

Full throttle agreement from me.

Shawn.

Thanks, Jack. When I get tired of it...it goes up for sale on our registry website before any other venue.

Gray or black??? Both look good to me. But there IS something about that chalky gray finish that recalls the glory days - when Porsche ruled the racing world. Looks like it's recently been GLOWING RED hot - as if ceramic fired in a kiln.
Like... "Yahh - dis enguhn iss so hot - vee need dah cehramic exhausst".

the Mohlman car. Shawn.

I must have 46MM PMO's for this exhaust. And...I want 'em. Real bad. :eek: Shawn.
