Exhaust System/Sports Exhaust System

Date: 5-23-03

Vehicle Type:
911 Carrera (996) /911 Carrera 4 (996)

Model Year:
As of MY 1999 (X) (see also notes)

Concerns:
Retrofitting

Information:
As was the case with the old sports exhaust system, sound behavior in the new sports exhaust system is controlled by muffler flaps. Changes over the old sports exhaust system include:

Modified exhaust gas routing in the muffler and the new engine sound produced by it. Installation of a switch in the center console area which can be used to switch off the sound typical of the sports exhaust system. The vehicle reverts to the sound behavior of a vehicle with the standard exhaust system. The deactivated state is indicated by the light-emitting diode lighting up in the switch.

Engine performance and vehicle emissions are not changed.

The new sports exhaust system is also available for new vehicles under Exclusive option No. XLF

Engine Types Affected:

M96/01/02/04 3.4 I and M96/03 = 3.6 I.

Notes:
The new switch with the tailpipe symbol (sports exhaust system switched off) is ordered separately and, in contrast to the (gloss) switches installed in MY 99 (X) up to and including 01 (1), has a matt surface. A gloss-look switch is not available.

A hybrid installation, i. e. the installation of only one new sports exhaust system muffler (Part Number 996 111 984 03/985 03) in a vehicle already fitted with an old sports exhaust system (Index .00 on the mufflers) is not permissible and not approved. Warranty will not apply in the event of repair or damage.

Important:
Observe the respective valid legal regulations as they apply in your location.
