Sport Ultima Recital Muffler – Porsche 911 (997)

Our best-seller for the 997: more than 700 pairs built since its development in 2006. Compared with the Sport Classic version, the Ultima Récital adds a fixed by-pass that opens under high pressure and routes the gases straight out. Three characters in a single muffler:

• A deep, meaningful note the moment you turn the key
• Very discreet at cruising rpm
• Very playful under acceleration

For a given muffler, the sound also depends on the car: more present on the 3.6L, softer on the 3.8L. The gearbox matters even more: a Tiptronic keeps the engine at lower rpm than a manual, so it runs quieter.

Fitting

• Mounts directly after the catalytic converters; strictly original interfaces (inlets, outlets, dimensions)
• Average fitting time: 2 hours including removal of the original exhaust. A lift is essential (without one, the rear bumper must come off and it takes twice as long)
• No need to remove the rear bumper: only the lower bolts behind the wheels
• The 4 sleeve bolts must be torqued to 46 Nm, progressively across all nuts: a leak here ruins the whole sound
• If the sleeves to the converters and the clamps to the tips are original, it is best to replace them; use the sleeves designed for the 996, which are sturdier (not included in the kit)
• Fitting kit included: stainless bolts, stainless lock nuts, high-temperature copper grease
