THE SOUND
Capitalizing on the design innovations and success of our 996 and 997
range, the starting point for designing the 991turbo exhaust had been
set high. Our trademark perfect x pipe geometry, harmonically tuned
silencer geometry, Inconel 625, and our proprietary acoustic silencer
packing materials result in a system that has become famous for that
perfect sound. Zero drone, and a raised pitch raucous incendiary howl in
higher rpms and hard throttle. The design is so perfect, that you can
even run catless versions silently at cruising speeds, only unleashing
that howl when you drive the car hard.
During development there were some clear evolutionary design steps
that we could incorporate. The secondary tail pipe allowed us to
integrate an effective gas overflow system. The concept was conceived at
the fluid dynamic modelling stage, and effectively works to cut low
rpm noise, while allowing an effective increased cross section at
higher rpms producing a more accentuated Jekyll and hyde personality,
and slightly broader torque curves.
