    Hey fellas, I’m new around here but I’ve been a fan of Lambos, Pcars and Fcars (who isn’t??) for a while. My daily driver is a 2002 Porsche C4S. I’m going to keep it as pcars make great daily drivers, but I gotta scratch my fcar modding itch!! I’ve been starting to scan the waters for an exhaust system for my 360 . Im a dedicated mod-junkie and have already started putting a wish-list together for my car. A buddy of mine has a turbo Porsche and he’s got this incredible sounding 9ff exhaust that makes like 40HP to the wheels. The trick thing that has me tripping out is that he can hit a button, and it goes into stealth mode!! What’s next a button for oil slicks and missiles? Hehe. I think this would be a great mod for any fcar to add to the tech factor.I heard a new 430 - that thing sounds like it employs some switching technology...yes or no?? Does novitec make something like this? Either way, I was wondering whether anybody has heard of anything like this for fcars, and who makes them. I know that its harder to make big power without turbos so I’m not expecting 40hp, but the ability to select a sport/thunder sound is preety cool IMO. Thx in advance.

    Thats a great idea, but the sound of that Porsche doesn't do anything for me. Don't know if it's the muffler or the car.

    it is cool. Kreis-sieg has this with their Valvetronic Exhausts. Unlike With each Type F1 Race design, two exhaust gas paths are configured.
    Normal Mode: This path is a traditional path that takes the exhaust through the catalytic converters and muffler chamber before it exits at the rear tips.
    F1 Mode: This path bypasses both the catalytic converters and muffler chamber, thus taking the exhaust straight from the manifold to its exit at the rear tips. F1 Mode produces the greatest possible horsepower gain with a true F1 race-style sound.
    Strategic placement of butterfly valves in the system allows for instantaneous control between Normal and F1 modes. A switch placed within the cabin controls the valves. With a simple flip of the switch, the driver selects between Normal and F1 modes.

    Great sounds, great exhausts, naturally available for Ferrari/Porsche/Lambo/BMW/Maserati

    Drive or listen to a 360 with a Tubi exhaust system. I just replaced my 996 twin turbo cab with a a 360 F1 spider and there is no comparison, at least as to the sound. Even with aftermarket systems for the Porsche, none sound like a Tubi or Capristo.

    Isn't it basically an electornic cut-out exhaust?
