Thank you for this video! I’m on the hunt for an aftermarket exhaust for my GT4, and hearing the options in a single video is a huge help. Extremely well done.

[@Kam-mv7tl]

Nice video mate! Wish this was around at the beginning when I was looking! I had (have) one of the first few Spyder’s in the UK and ordered my exhaust within 2 days of picking it up. It needs it, PPF is a killer. Owned the 981 Spyder which was mental and this 100% needs the exhaust upgrade. Once done, it’s the better car in every way (no mean feat - the 981 Spyder is a bloody awesome car - I would love to own one again). I went with a JCR titanium unsilenced, although modified so the valves are always open. Sounds awesome and I love it - beautiful exhaust and such good quality. Tbh they all sound pretty good, all good options but I can 100% recommend JCR

Excellent video. Can you do a video comparing between different street headers for the GT4/Spyder/GTS 4.0? Thanks

[@WheelsToys]

Thanks! I will be back with a video on over axel pipes and one for the street headers. Might need to combine that one with complete systems due to the manufacturers only releasing videos with the full systems at this moment.

[@magnificoxl3596]

Great comparison. I live in Germany and I decided to go for the Cargraphic Racing for my Spyder. I can confirm the Sound is Perfect now. 😎Installation was a little tricky. But finally its a Real Porsche now. The combination of Handling, Design and Sound.

[@danielahlquist2660]

Hey! One thing Im a little surprised of, is that many of the manufacturers claimed early that it would probably be an easy fix to bypass the monitored opf-systems and install a 'straight pipe' instead without CEL. However, no one seems to have cracked this as of today?

I had the soul race but eventually sold it only due to the in cabin drone from 2-3k rpm. My ears felt pressured after driving it was terrible. But above 4k it was amazing. Shame :(. Thanks for the organized video

[@gtperfection1596]

Can you do a review on Dundon crack pretzel.

[@DougC83]

Any idea on the performance gain claims? I saw a video of someone from the US lost apx. 10 horsepower from JCR titanium exhaust (no ecu tune), dynoed a month a part in similar condition at a professional shop.

[@RuiDuartept]

Please bear in mind that most of these systems add an insane amount of drone. Do your research on that too.

[@andersjensen1499]

Great comparison - have you heard the headers from fabspeed ? Don’t Think these can work in Europe with OPF 🤔 but not sure.....

Our headers will work with European 4.0L cars.

[@maciejjaniszewski8008]

Anyway to get back the pops and bangs/cracks for a 2024 2.0T with GPF? it seems with no PSE available in Europe and monitored GPF the backfire in Sport Mode does not exist anymore

[@Channel21Jaymz]

Let's be honest, they all kinda sound the same. Meaning, they all sound amazing!

I think JCR has a problem with droning though

Hi !'many thanks for this very good video. However be careful as the Akrapovic video is with OPF bypass if I read well the 'small letters on the video'. So not very representative of what the muffler alone will bring.

Hey do you think that the Valvetronic exhaust from Fabspeed for the 718(982) is a Good choice?

[@WheelsToys]

I have not had a Fabspeed-exhaust myself but I know they use really good components and that their setups for manufacturing is high end. You will most likely be very happy with one of their exhausts. :)

[@maruno88]

Thank you for the comparison! Theyre lot of options but im looking for no customs exhaust in Europe. I suposse the KLINE. I Will text when i buy. Thank you!

[@WheelsToys]

You also have Cargraphic, Supersprint Akrapovic and Supersprint here in Europe. :)

[@marccarpentier2398]

JCR too? UK 21 miles from France - definitely Europe, taxes or not

[@jeffreykilpatrick3592]

Which brand and model has the best backfires when accelerating and going through the gears and when downshifting? I found it surprising that the oem gt4 does not make any backfires and burbles at all- ever. My 911 992 in sport mode does make backfires and burbling sounds when downshifting…

[@WheelsToys]

Stock none of the GT cars does this except the 981 GT4. 🤷‍♂️ I guess there is a reason, but I agree, I would love it to have some backfire-sounds. I now run the Cargraphic X-pipe racing and it has some. But i have some over axel pipes with OPF delete and a tune coming. Might allow for some more. :)

[@PetritLushtaku]

It has a straight crankshaft which causes no pops and crackles but increases the performance.

[@FredSHerr]

Do any of these systems advertise their decibel level? Track Days at Laguna Seca are limited to 92db.

[@WheelsToys]

Any exhaust mod will take you over that. Lift off a tiny bit just before the sound-booth and you should be fine. :)

[@edcesarman313]

I am in Mexico, how can I distinguish if my cars exhaust is European or USA? Also for a ring and pinion any recommendations?

[@WheelsToys]

If you have a European car you will see connected sensors on the OPF filters. If you don’t have any connections you have the American car. :)

[@praveshbalani5973]

Are any of these going to work for the 718 Cayman S?

[@mihaipopescugreaca2337]

I’m based in the U.K. and considering the Kline system (either 100 or 200 cells) - apparently using an OBD to reset the ECU error would not leave any trace in the ECU and hence won’t affect the Porsche warranty - any views? Also, does anybody know if the 100 cell version passes the U.K. MOT? Thanks!

[@WheelsToys]

If you are in the UK I would consider JCR or similar. Great systems and no extra import tax. Also, there will be a trace in the ECU if you use the OBD. You will need to access the actual ECU if you want to do it without a trace. But unless you are doing a OPF/GPF delete, you wont have any issues that you need to take care of with a tune. :)

[@mihaipopescugreaca2337]

@@WheelsToys great, thanks a lot. So if I understand correctly, unless the OPF is reset / there’s an engine error after installing the 200 cells pipe, I should be good re retaining the warranty? JCR is much more expensive despite them being U.K. based..

What about Capristo?

[@WheelsToys]

Hi Vaccaro! There are plenty of more options than what I listed, but these are the most popular once and the once I think are interesting for different reasons. The Capristo exhaust is of a very simple design similar to many of the others but without offering something extra for the extra price they charge.

[@ronburgundy4375]

Jcr and soul are the 2 best sounding exhaust for this motor... Also these cars are a decent amount over 100k loaded so most owners aren't worried about warranty wich can be voided if you've been found to have been racing the car wich again most owners are going to do. If you modify the car it's designed to work with the factory exhaust opf and they also under tune the car. These motors are about 500hp in all actuality on 93 not 420. If you're going to modify it its best to have it tuned with the modifications that's where you will see the most benifit you will likley have the same or loose power without tuning doing these mods

Wrong , these two produces a lots of drones in cabin ,starting from 2000rpm!
