I think the exhaust I seen looked the same except it had short glasspacks on it after the X-section. It was a really crisp sounding 996. All I remember about what he said about it was how much weight he saved over the factory exhaust. Ya know, paddock talk.
Dyno numbers are just numbers. Make sure the engine runs perfectly through the whole range, and enjoy it. Speed Density is for drag racing, which is usually where you see peak numbers. I'd be more stoked about what the power ramp and curve look like in various gears with a load based dyno.
You're right, the 911 sounds a lot better, great job you guys! The only thing, it may sound a. little louder after the tune. Great video, enjoyed very much! see ya!
The exhaust on my 986 right now had two individual lines, making it sound like two 3-cylinders. I believe it’s good to do this on even firing order engines like ours because scavenging doesn’t help as much as compared to an odd fire engine like most v8s. You do get a much smoother sound with that x pipe though
For sure, without having any type of crossover they just sound off. The Venturi effect the X pipe creates has to be a beneficial factor as well for flow
@@Smeedia I’ll be taking my muffler to the local exhaust shop next week to see what they can do for me in terms of adding a crossover. I miss the smooth sound! Also wanted to say that your channel is perfect for me, my friend has a Hawkeye Sti and this new 996 content is good for my 986 soul
MMR HR3 wheels! This not typically done but looks absolutely killer in my opinion. If you don’t think it looks killer, check your pulse. I don’t know what to tell you in silver not black whatever wheel you select not black.
Love the turn-downs + sounds a LOT better ... but the tip location within the cutouts is BUGGING me! I know it's a weird shape - but they could be more "centered" to cutout
We debated centering them but it looked off also 😅 someone brought up a good idea though. When we go EWG, route the dyno tubes next to the exhaust to fill out the cut outs more 🔥
@@Smeedia Love the channel as a whole ... Love it even more that you reply - most YT channels don't. With the EWG/dump tubes idea "filling in" the "gap" - LOVE the idea of it. Can't wait for the next vid and all after!
Not without redoing the down pipes. The opening in the inside I think we’re going to route the EWG dump tubes later on through there 🫡 should help fill it out
Sounds so much better!! But I was convinced you mentioned you were putting resonators in the x pipe? Maybe I’m tripping, but it’s not too loud still? Like it’s ok without resonators?
its better, but still the Porsche boxer don't seem to open up the throaty roar to exhaust mods the way an EJ boxer does..are those 200 cell cats or 300? I'd love to hear it with a mic, positioned above the pipes on the bumper,!
That X pipe did bring out the exotic sound compared to without it! Nice touch man. However, if you want to get more aggresive Flowmaster makes eco friendly 200 cell cats.
hey smeedia i got a question my car goes below idling rpms and sounds like it’s about to start dying and revs it’s self back out. vacuum leak or low compression engine? not sure what it could be
Hey Tanner, I got a question about your garage/shop/ i'm looking to start doing the same thing you are as my home garage is getting too cramped to work on my car now. What size is your storage bay? 10x25, 15 x 30, etc? How much does it cost you to rent/lease that space every month? Is this this a chain or a private company? Thanks boss.
The angles are same same, but the spacing is sliiiightly different. The passenger side is 1/2” more inward than the drivers side due to doenpipe length. My fault when I made the downpipes 😅
They won’t fit lol I have some and the 90s off the cats don’t allow it. Only way would be remove the cats, run cat less and push everything back. But I don’t wanna loose the cats
X Pipe is definitely an upgrade, and I think they do some sort of vudoo with vacuum on the exhaust.
Cant wait to see the RX7 return to life also.
They do some weird sucking and pulling magic from what I’ve seen 😅 been dreaming of being able to jump back on that thing 🤌
We lost our Wooooooo tonight. Exhaust sounds great though.
lol it cut too quick 😂😅
Porsche content is 🔥 Wooooooo!!!
13:43 ooooooh yeah!! Huge improvement ❤
Actually sounds acceptable now 😅🔥
Sounds so much better, u guys did an awesome job, appreciate the consistent uploads, looking forward to the next one
Thank you! Definitely a tight space to fit everything in there 😅
@@Smeedia Your welcome
Looks amazing! Sounds amazing! Just amazes me how that pipe even works. Looks like it hardly has any crossover
The 180s I ordered were too tall so we had to cut em down a good bit 😅 but there’s still about a 1.75” opening there 🫡
Not sure about those turndown tips but sounds so good
What a difference!!!!!!! It sounds absolutely amazing !
Much much happier with the X pipe set up vs the prior two set ups we had 🔥

From what I’ve seen the factory ones are boat anchors ⚓️
@@Smeedia I think dude saved something like 40lbs
Daaamn that exhaust looking badass,cant wait to see dyno numbers for this and blu
Thing looks like a monstrosity of a exhaust in a good way 😅🔥

Exhaust sounds way better. And a big gt3 wing would complete the rear engine of the car 🔥🔥
Ohhhhh Yes 🤌 next move is to find a better set of wheels 😅
Definitely not a lot of room back there. It takes some real skill to fab that up. Great job guys
Thanks Josh! Wayyy tighter of a space than I thought initially 😅
Congrats man, that X-Pipe is awesome!! Can't wait to see what wheels you end up with.
Thank you 😂 X pipe got this thing sounding no MILES better 🥳😊
damn, that Xpipe changes it sooo much. Sounds so good!!!!!
Night and day difference with the X pipe 🔥
That sounds so sick. Welder friend well worth the $$, couldn't have been cheap. Now you have a custom, one of a kind badass car😊. Old cars rock!
Thing sounds miles better than it did before. Nolan absolutely killed it 🔥
⚾️ grand slam out the park!
@@Smeediahey, do you know how matlasdl's built auto in the lgt is holding up?
That sounds so much better!
Actually balances out the sound now 🔥🥳
So much better! Congrats!

Wow sounds wayyyy better.
Night and day difference between sound 😅
Big improvement on the exhaust ! Just a bit more Boost and it's gone be 🎉 👌
Sounds better than the previous thinga-majiga.
Sounds so much better!! and looks sick 😷
Thing looks WILD 🔥
Never heard a straight pipped Porsche before 🤔 come to think of it... this is great content T!! Especially the pipping quality 👍🏼👍🏼
The straight pipe was not the way to go but sounded alright 😅
Shout out to all the fabricators who make metal stick to build piece od arts
🚗💥💨🔥
Hell yah bro I’m stoked to hear
Sounds WAY better now 🔥
MMR HR3 wheels! This not typically done but looks absolutely killer in my opinion. If you don’t think it looks killer, check your pulse. I don’t know what to tell you in silver not black whatever wheel you select not black.
Definitely a better setup. Sounds great!
Way smoother, thing sounded way too choppy before 😅
Hell yeah dude. Way better.
X pipe was definitely the move 🎶🎶
Sounds so much better

Art, science and music! What more is there?
That’s all we need 🤌
@@Smeedia 🎺🎺🚀✨
14:31 sounds 10x better now 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds nice! Was there any way to get the pipes better centered on the openings?
Not without redoing the down pipes. The opening in the inside I think we’re going to route the EWG dump tubes later on through there 🫡 should help fill it out
Woooooo! There i did it for you 😊

They’re 400 CEL Cats 🫡 I can get some other sound clips 🤝

The welds are on point and it sounds super good 🙏
Tom is a genius!
much better❤
The straight pipes were not it 😅
FIXED! Awesome job!
I would recommend vs5-rs 's for the 911. Check em out.
Yoooo those look good! That’s been added to my list now 😂
@@SmeediaRock on man! Best of luck
Sounds so good dude! 🔥 🔥
hey smeedia i got a question my car goes below idling rpms and sounds like it’s about to start dying and revs it’s self back out. vacuum leak or low compression engine? not sure what it could be
Sounds like vacuum leak 🫡 pressure test or smoke test should tell ya 🫡
Good stuff!!!
🥳🫡
Will the tips being so close will it not melt the bumper?
Reminded me of when I straight piped my mr2
….seemed like a good idea at the time
“NO RAGRETS”
Lmao we were living for the moment 😂
Sounds good Tanner!!!
Sounds way better than that monstrosity of a straight pipe 😂😅
@@Smeedia for sure for sure!
You clutch out weird and I never woulda thought. Maybe ride it more next time
I think you'll need a side branch resonator. Looks like you have plenty of room to easily weld then onto the main branch.
Porsche with a bosozoku exhaust would be cool 😂
I joked about doing that 😂
Hey Tanner, I got a question about your garage/shop/ i'm looking to start doing the same thing you are as my home garage is getting too cramped to work on my car now.

exhaust sounds wayyyyyyy better, the car is begging for a sequential or a flat shift setup!
Some Work s1 3p wheels would look awesome on the porsche
Curious if they make a 5x130 pattern 👀
Oh yea that note it hits at higher rpm pretty sweet!
Curious to know how a titanium version would sound now 😅
@@Smeedia I bet it would sound even more sick!
Welded that tip, inch by inch, like a gentleman! (Me, myself and Irene reference😅)
😂😂😂
BADASS!!!!
😎👍🏻👍🏻

Not feeling that exit. Sounds good. My ocd that exit would drive me insane.
That sounds so good!
Love the new flat engine content. Congrats on the Porsche. Can’t wait to see you send it to the moon. Come on, we all know it’s coming 😂😂😂
Oh it will 100% happen 😂 I just wanna push that out until all the other cars are 100% 😂😅
Love the exhaust, hate the tip design
We’re kinda limited with what we could do, I knew not everyone would like the tips 😅
Sounds like a mechanical flat six symphony ❤
too good! lmk if you wanna sell those heated seat switches and trim piece 👀
6:39 ayo
😂😂😂
Dat’s money doooooood
Mucho better 🤌🔥
Hell yeah! do a flash warning next time tho !!
Will add that in next time 🫡 did not even think about that. My apologies 🫡
Thing is fricken sick I still need you to work on my Subaru when I come across some money lol
I’ll be here 🫡🫡
W Tom
Common Tom W
is the rx7 a forever car?
Love it!!!
Sounds good now
Sounds better but I’d never trust a cutting wheel without my face shield lol just me tho good job
Oval tips might have cut. Filled out the cutouts better😅 but oh well sounds great tho 🥵
Got some future plans with that blank area we left there 🥳
Obligatory sounds incredible comment
Mucho better than the straight pipe 🥳
Are the tips even? It looks like the pass side is tilted downward more than the driver side.
The angles are same same, but the spacing is sliiiightly different. The passenger side is 1/2” more inward than the drivers side due to doenpipe length. My fault when I made the downpipes 😅
Not bad sir

That cubby in the middle is an ash tray😂😂😂
Lmao I thought it was just an extra cubby 😂
That is miles better than weird volkswagen tractor noises 😂😂😂.
For sure 😂 the tractor noises weren’t it 😂
Measure twice, cut once 😂😂😂
Gotta practice that more 😂
🎉🎉🎉
🥳🥳🥳🥳
9:38 you will be exhausted
That’s just too punny 😂
@@Smeedia I'm a dad. These are the jokes 😂
So sick!!
If you ever go external waste gate, it would be cool to those pipes next to the exhaust
Oh we will 100% be going EWG in the future. I love the idea for it!
Turndown poll still won lets goo
Hearing protection?
WHAT!
WHAT?!😂
First ❤
Are ya thinking about keeping the color of the car? I'm excited to know what you're gonna do with it
Prob keep it silver for now 😅 don’t wanna turn it into a full blown project yet 😅
Oh that's nasty...
Wayyyy better 👌🤌
Hear me out....H-pipe 996👀
Actually curious what it would sound like 😅
Just the tip, all the tip. brap.
JUST all of the tip 😂
The x pipe needs to be more cut before putting together. Too little exhaust moving through the x
Just the tip
Get speedlines
Little outside my budget 😅💀
Sorry dude, those tips are just butt ugly. There's nothing better than the OEM X54 stainless steel tips.
They won’t fit lol I have some and the 90s off the cats don’t allow it. Only way would be remove the cats, run cat less and push everything back. But I don’t wanna loose the cats
@@Smeedia Interesting. I have them on my 996 turbo and they appeared rather short, so surprised they wouldn't fit your setup.
Houuuu howzit
WAZZZZZZZUP
Steel Shrinkage??? ... that ain't a thing dude, lol.
*PromoSM* 😩
Yooo first
Early biiiiird 🚀🚀
you cannot do that to a turbo kiddo
don’t do close ups of his welds
