Any sound clips and/or videos? Porsches' flat sixes sound very nice indeed, especially with exhaust work done.

Some pics of my RSR custom built race exhaust. German fabricator M&M built this system and FVD is the distributor.

Equal length headers w/ 200 cell race cats. Valving for moderate to extreme exhaust note. Open is approx. 110 to 112 dbs.


Eliminated 51 lbs from the rear of the car. The system made 34 rwhp after months of R&D. Initially only made 5 rwhp then 7 months of designing and testing (they had the car all that time ) success was achieved. Great company.

There are two systems in the USA. Both in So. Florida. I'm friends with the other guy.

Info/pics about M&M company. Build racing exhausts for many pro teams like Flying Lizard GT3 RSR.
