Your Porsche: Sound vs. Performance

Whether you drive a Porsche, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Mini, Audi, or Volkswagen, the sound that your vehicle makes is unique to that vehicle and the design of its exhaust. By changing the size, shape and length, different tones can be achieved. Not only is the sound of the exhaust affected, but more importantly these changes directly impact engine performance. Specifically, the design of your exhaust can dramatically affect horsepower and torque curves—in addition to creating that mean, cool sound.

No vehicles have more performance options available than Porsche. Depending on your driving style, you may want more torque to increase acceleration or perhaps higher horsepower at increased RPMs. Again, there are several performance options available to you. Borla, Fabspeed, Bassani, Bursch, Dansk, Corsa and others all manufacture bolt on and weld on systems designed with specific performance objectives.

Most of the available systems are manufactured using high-quality stainless steel and are mandrel-bent for improved air flow properties. These systems are designed with weight in mind and often can significantly reduce the overall weight as compared to stock exhaust systems (some systems weighing less than ½ of the factory system, improving performance and handling).

Similarly, Borla offers several products producing an impressive 263cfm more air flow over stock exhaust systems, improving efficiency as well as performance across the full RPM range.
