Although Fletcher systems look really nice and are beautifully made they're not going to have a positive effect on the performance of a 998. The bore is just too big for a 998 of even a mild 1275.

I'd get a maniflow twin box system with a nice chrome rolled tip.

Can't beat maniflow for customer service or quality, power is good to. I have a centre exit rolled tip ready to go on mine, its incredibly well made compared to most.

1 3/4" exhaust system will perform best on a 998 :thumbsup:

Nothing made like a fletcher, they sound great, as a twin box. Force the air into the engine and it will work great on a 998 ;)

Planning to buy a single side 3" fletcher for my 1.3 MPI, had a twin sportexx centre in the past which performed really bad. Will it be different with a fletcher ? Gonna keep the CAT and the stock manifold for now.

Any tips bungle ? I now have the stock one back on but it really has no sound at all. The sportex on the other hand was too loud. want to keep the original style meaning leftside single exit

Most people go for maniflow or RC40

single box for noise or twin box for a milder rumble
