Testimonials



Thank you very much indeed for your exellent service, prompt delivery and
general kindness. I´ve installed the RSR´s and all I can say is that
everything written and said elsewere, homepages etc, is true. Pure magic a
totally different car and a sound that bring back memories from times gone
by. I just love it - perfectly wonderful noisy with an elegant tuch. The
other items also to my liking - so once again thank you! I will ship
original mufflers in a few days time and tomorrow it´s trackday!!

I also found the instructions very helpful and made the job so much more
easy - well done.

Todays trackevent went very well - managed to stay on the track whole day
long and those who listned to the music made the same remark as I, fantastic
music seldom heard these days.
It's a hell of a difference hard to believe without trying.

For anyone sitting on the fence...
I researched this quite intensively. If you want the best sound, without boomy boxes, then go for the RSRs. I'm very happy with mine. As for anything more exotic/antisocial, I can't help you there, but I have heard some e.g. Cargraphics, which seem awfully loud. Good on a turbo etc perhaps?
RSRs will pass the noise test on most trackday events...

The RSR are on, and I am the happiest man in my neighbourhood.
They are SENSATIONAL.
Even my wife prefers the sound :o))
I will return back to you my old mufflers tomorrow so will be with you later this week.Many thanks

The RSR were assembled yesterday and I drove some km, but the sound is fantastic!  I am happy that the metallic and higher sounds I got from the sports kat have not been lost. I am keen to see what happens after 100km, I guess you should use the highway to get some heat through it.

Hej Gert!
Tack så mycket för den utmärkta servicen och dom goda råden.
Tack också för den snabba och kompletta leveransen - imponerande. Monteringen gick smärtfritt och alla detaljer passade perfekt något som jag som amatörmek satte stort värde på.
Efter att ha provkört kan jag bara instämma i allt som sagts i olika media
om dessa RSR-dämpare - det är sant.
Sången är enorm och framkallar minnen från en tid då luftkylda porschar lät så där speciellt, dovt gurglande mäktigt. Jag tycker faktiskt att jag fått en ny bil - den har definitivt en annan och bättre karaktär än ägaren.
Ps Efter att ha varit iväg på ett banmöte, landsväg cirka 30 mil, så tycker jag att det finns anledning understryka att RSR-dämparna lyfter fram det bästa ur boxersexan utan att föra oväsen och vara påträngande.
Skön sång, så radion kan stängas av - bara njuta oavsett fart och varvtal.

Hi there Gert.....just a quick note to say how pleased I am with the sound of the RSR's...they really do bring the Porsche engine sound to the fore without being intrusive, they are absolutel fine at motorway speed no drooning whatsoever. By the time I was back in London they sounded wonderful.

pour un bruit correct type RS (dixit FDM) avec un cata 100 cell, j'ai mis des silencieux RSR (de chez Carnewal), prix defiant toute concurrence et surtout aucune raisonnance, pas sourd (et donc pas assourdissant), bref a mon avis un excellent compromis.

Nog bedankt voor je snelle service afgelopen zaterdag en ik moet zeggen, ze klinken inmiddels fantastisch! Erg tevreden mee.

The RSR’s are super, they were fitted at the same time as some 100 Cell Cats…the noise!!! Glorious!!!

Trip Reports



Well I/we took a day trip to see Gert in Belgium to have RSR's fitted to my 993. I must say I am more than pleased with them, they make the car sound more Porsche like, if you know what I mean, with a definite added burble especailly on tickover. By the time I was back in London they had "matured" nicely and sounded great, felt like taking a detour to use the underpass at Hyde Park but will leave that for another day.

Gert has a very good facility at his house, a very big workshop, and is a really nice bloke and very knowledgeable. He also has a very nice self contained apartment that can be used if you need to stay over.
Both he and his wife are very welcoming.

It only took a couple of hours for the boxes to be changed over and that was with having to use an angle grinder to cut through the seized bolts. I stayed and chatted with him while he worked on my car and picked his brains some.

I didn't know that the mufflers have to come off to be able to change the spark plugs so it seems mine might not have been changed for some time although saying that the heat shields were quite new so that might not be the case as I believe the muffles have to come off for those to be fitted.

Another thing that he noticed was that I am indeed running on the original shocks, which I suspected as I have been unable to find any invoice for any work done on the suspension, so that is a job that I want to get done in the near future in fact I would say it is my immediate priority. I think I will be going with Bilsteins as they seem to be well recommended.

The smaller roads in that part of Belgium are very uneven, it was quite uncomfortable in the 993 even at low speeds, in fact any speed, of course as my shocks are shot that made matters even worse.

I would suggest to anyone wanting to take a trip over to see Gert is to get some directions from him or use a Sat-Nav. I got my directions from Google and I have to say they were less than satisfactory, luckily I came across the Police station in Brakel a small town near him and they kindly and in very good English showed me the way and even photostated a map for me. He does live in a very pretty rural setting but without good direction or Sat-Nav his house and workshop are very hard to find.

Gert gave us better direction to get back to Calais via Ronse and mostly on motorways. I have got to say some of the road signeage in Belgium leaves a lot to be desired, especailly on the lesser roads, then it was often hit or miss at a junction or roundabout which direction to take as a town name that one was following would disappear for several junctions only to reappear further down the road, very confusing. Perhaps it's time I invested in a sat-Nav.

It took less that two hours to get back to Calais where I wanted to eat at Le Chanel, about the best fish restaurant in Calais only to find that it was shut for "Les vacances" until next Saturday. There are lots of other places to eat in that area of Calais and we ate quite a good meat in a Brasserie called Cafe de Paris, the seafood extravaganza will have to wait for the next trip over.

We left West London at 5.15am and caught the 7.50am Eurotunnel train and were at Gert's around midday. We caught an earlier than booked train back at 8.20 pm but were delayed in unloading at the other end by a broken down vehicle in front of us on the train that took 15 minutes to remove. We were back home by 10.00 pm. A round trip of about 380 miles which was less that I was anticipating.

A tiring trip but well wothwhile.

Verdict: C'est amusant les gens se retourne lorque je passe !!!!

Le son est légerement plus sourd qu'à l'origine, et plus rauque. De l'intérieur pas trop de changement, en revanche de l'exterieur: Fabuleux !!! et encore il faut que je roule au moins 200km avec, d'après Gert Carnewal, pour avoir le résultat définitif.

A souligné: Gert Carnewal est super sympa, première chose en arrivant: Que voulez vous boire? On ne voit pas ca souvent en France !!! Il nous a fait visiter ses installations, montrer de superbes pièces ( magnifique BBS hein Thierry !!!) un super cab 993 rouge arena avec les fameux Pots RSR: super son !!!

For anyone on the fence about the RSRs... Would highly recommend it... Went over to Carnewal to see Gert this weekend and had the modification (incl. motorshound airbox) and am very happy with the result... Gert is a great chap, absolute pleasure to deal, knows his 993s inside out and I'm very happy with the new mufflers.

The car now sounds like it always should have, and is not boomy or uncomfortable on the motorway...

Only thing i'd do differently next time is take an extra day or two and spend it in brugge chilling out...
