997 Exhaust Sound and Setup
I figured enough people were asking in many different threads for sound examples and different configurations that I'd start a new one just posting (non-sponsored) exhaust sound and the configuration that goes along with it, it would be good to get all this in one place.
Dundon 997.2 (2.5 inch) V2 Long Tube Street Headers
991.2 (2019) Titanium Center w/Fabspeed GT3 OEM Center Muffler Reinforcement
991.2 Titanium Rolled Tips
15 seconds Sport Mode On
2000 RPM
4000 RPM
8000 RPM
and a few blips
Compared to my SS center I think this has a little bit of a tin sound, so I actually might like it a bit less but 20 lbs is 20 lbs. I prioritize weight over sound so I do not have the Dundon loud center. Someday I want the Dundon Ti center, but it’s $11k
Tip for iphone: users>settings>camera>record stereo sound off, this will set the mic on the front camera vs all around. Also in the same location you can set your recording to 1080p since we are listening to sound and don’t care about 4K, I would suggest this because Rennlist has a 20mb upload limit.
Clearly a drive by video is better than static but this is much easier for us to do.

I’m going to have to bug you to hear this in person one of these days. Very similar to what I’d like to put on my car as well.

I would have guessed the stainless center only weighed about 18 lbs by itself. How much does the titanium part weigh? I have been struggling to meet autocross sound restrictions, so I bought a Dundon quiet muffler... I was shocked at both how not quiet it is, and how heavy it is! I almost couldn't install it by myself. It did move the needle on the sound meter, but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze for hanging 40 ish lbs off the back of the car.

If someone is looking for RSR sound, I still have a Sharkwerks race setup in black that is barely used. I think I have a JCR center delete as well. The design is similar to Sharkwerks, but it gives a higher pitched "tinny" sound.
On all of these, my experience is that you really have to hear them yourselves. Recordings never truly capture the sounds well. Perhaps the advice above will at least offer some consistency in the recording method.
I think I've mentioned it before, but I'm running Dundon headers into an RSS center delete. It sounds sublime. Yes, it's loud, but it really doesn't drone like you may expect. In fact, I felt like the valved side deletes with center muffler droned more.

Wish this thread existed for when I was shopping around vs scouring YouTube and the web for clips.
I have a JCR superlight Ti center bypass which has a larger diameter, lighter gauge Ti and different merge than their standard one. I’ll post a sound clip soon. Couldn’t find any sound clips of this one but went for it anyways and glad I did. Hope it helps others in the same boat.
