Spintech Sportsman 3000XL for the Cup Car

As purchased, my Cup replica had a 3" exhaust (straight pipe as it is a track-only car).  It is LOUD.  Very.  Loud.  Had to take it down a notch...

One of my goals is to move it back to the street, and that will take some pulling it back from the edge of full-race mode.  Eventually, a high-flow catalytic converter, lightweight carpet, among a massive laundry list of items will help bring this back to be (somewhat) comfortable on the street.  Think more GT3...  think 944 Turbo Cup "reimagined". 

I am already around very loud noises all day, every day.  To tone her down a bit, I researched, researched, and researched mufflers for the Cup which would not completely kill the deep sound or end up sounding like a Civic.  I reached back to my college days, where one of my close friends built his LT1 Camaro into a monster, and opted for Spintech.  I have watched Spintech over the years grow into quite a successful exhaust company (subsidiary of a larger metalworks company).  I decided to finally (after first finding them in 2003, FOURTEEN YEARS AGO) go with Spintech!

I just received my new Sportsman 3000XL in the mail.  I had to remove about 3 inches of the exhaust pipe towards the rear, but other than that the install was pretty easy.  The exhaust was fitted together with heavy torque clamps. but I still managed to break one lose.  One replacement on the way.

Here is a video of the Spintech Sportsman 3000XL on the 2.5L 944 Turbo Cup.  As always, cell phone video sound is not the best representation of actual sound, but it's pretty good.
