Thanks to Martin for his availability and advice before ordering an Ultima Recital for my Cayman 987-1 (3.4 S). An extraordinary sound that brings a smile with every acceleration and shivers in every tunnel. It's perfect: fairly discreet when driving gently, furious when you open it up (a real race car sound). Highly recommended without hesitation. My only regret... not driving only in tunnels and having a hard top! Read more

Stopped by Scart this morning to have an ULTIMA RECITAL silencer installed with the dual outlet and the link pipe. Martin's welcome is very warm, and he takes the time to explain the modifications that are going to be made. The installation is done in one morning, before Martin takes the keys to check that everything works properly, ignition on and there... incredible, the car is completely transformed, the sound has absolutely nothing to do with before. It is magnificent in every respect, raspy and free at low revs, and it takes off very, very strongly from 3000 rpm (even 2500 rpm) up to 7000. If you can do it, go for it, you will not be disappointed at all. A huge thank you to Martin and his whole team, I will come back without hesitation as soon as I change Porsche. Read more

I had a valved sport silencer fitted with a BMC air filter by the SCART team a few months ago. The result is magical. The sound is very beautiful in the open position. My Boxster sings wonderfully. I have another car. Thank you for the welcome, the quality of the products and the result on my car.

A huge THANK YOU to Martin and his whole team of enthusiasts and above all professionals! I had been waiting for this day impatiently. Today, a superb line was fitted to my car (Cayman S) and the result is far above my expectations! A magnificent sound, whether at low revs with a raspy sound, or climbing in the revs... Thank you for the workshop tour and the explanations of the different stages of MAKING an exhaust from start to finish. Read more

Thanks again to the whole team of Mr. SCART for fitting a valved silencer on my 2006 Porsche Cayman S. The sound is absolutely extraordinary, it completely changes the car. With the valves closed, the sound is a bit more present than the original, but remains discreet. With the valves open, it's an absolute treat for the ears. Simply magnificent! When you're high in the revs, you feel like you're in a race car. Equipment to recommend urgently! Read more

On the 27th October 2014, I had a SCART "Ultima" sport exhaust fitted on my Boxter 987 3,4S (you can find my comments at the time lower down on this list). Personally, I was thrilled, but my wife found the sound too powerful. So, the exhaust was dismounted in 2015 and replaced by the original exhaust, however I admit this left me somewhat frustrated. In early October 2016, I met Martin Scart on his stand at the Paradis Porsche Meeting in St Tropez. Martin offered to take back the Ultima exhaust and to replace it with an exhaust with valves, for which I would only pay the difference. This was done on the 27th of October at the Goussainville workshop (exactly 2 years after the first SCART exhaust was fitted). Since then, it's a pure joy! My wife is pleased, even though the sound is ever so slightly louder than the original with the valves closed (which is a plus from my point of view). Personally, I find the sound with the valves open even better than that of the Ultima. So, a huge thank you to Martin and also to Christophe who fitted the exhaust. Read more

Having fitted a SCART to my Porsche 911 3,2 from 1985 in February 2015, I return to fit a SCART with valves for my Porsche CAYMAN and once again I am highly satisfied with the result, in 3 words "magnificent, exquisite, awesome" a chorus praise from my entourage. Thanks again to Martin SCART's team. A message for fellow porschists, get fitted out with a SCART. Thank you Martin Regards Claude Read more

I recently had Ultima Recital silencers installed on my Cayman and I must say I finally have a Porsche with a real sporty sound! As announced, at a steady speed everything is calm but more present than the original, and if you really step on it, it's magnificent, in tunnels the sound bounces off the walls, it's beautiful and impressive! I'm satisfied with the result and I'll come back to Scart for my next Porsche. :)

Thank you to the whole team for your very beautiful work.

On a Boxster S 295hp 3.4L. Very original installation of a valved Scart at Réjean Godet's, the Lerejean workshop in Fontenay-le-Comte. Integration of the PSE button into the dashboard, same as stock (small extra to control the original PSE button) and optimized operation: starting with the valves open is possible (and that changes everything...), no more cut-out between 45 and 75 km/h. And of course a sound that is already very nice with the valves closed, a festival with the valves open, especially after 5000 rpm. I rediscovered my Boxster, and what a pleasure to hear this raspy, deep sound at the bottom and at the same time ultra-furious in the revs. Fabulous. Thank you Scart, thank you Réjean. Read more

On Boxster S 987 Phase 1:

- Sport 200cc catalytic converter headers

- silencer (if you can call it that...) Scart Ultima

- Dual 2 x 87 stainless steel tailpipes

Super sound under acceleration. And calm at cruising speed. The ideal compromise.

Installed at Vodiff - Eric Donnart (former Porsche workshop manager in Strasbourg). Top service.

Bravo Scart for this superb creation!

What talent! After much hesitation, I decided to phone SCART directly, where I got straight through to Guillaume. Passionate about their products, he "finalised" my intention to fit an Ultima on my Cayman and pointed me to one of their fitters, VODIFF in Strasbourg. 3 weeks later, the silencer was ordered, made, the appointment booked and fitted! Hats off. At VODIFF it's Eric who handles the installation. On the day he first shows me the "beast" before fitting: superb piece! The exhaust line with its carbon tailpipe is magnificent, the welds are beautiful, I was tempted to put it in my living room (lol). 3h30 later it's fitted. Start-up, a shiver when the sound reached my ears: no video could convey what you hear, what you feel, you have to be next to it to realise: you've understood, I love it!!!! Since then, I've done about 500 km and the sound has mellowed as announced. My Cayman is now a car with two faces: charisma when you don't push it and furious "the way we like it" on track. Thanks to SCART and to Guillaume for his welcome on the phone and to VODIFF for a high-end service! Read more

I found the sound of my 1st generation 987 Cayman S too subdued. having looked around to see which exhausts came out on top particularly amongst porschists I veered towards a SCART, a model with valves and remote control for the Jekyll and Hyde aspect. It was fitted by Audio star in Béziers and I must say it's a real jewel: it looks so good! and what a sound! Even with the valves closed it's nothing like the original its deeper and more powerful and what can I say about when the valves are open it's just exceptional, a real racing car sound!! I am thrilled with the result and recommend it without hesitation Read more

i found myself in a different car once the exhaust with valves was mounted with a fierce, husky sound at high revs. The mounting went perfectly and was done in a day, my only regret was not having been able to visit the workshop and watch the fitting with my car on the carlift...no regrets about the investment

I made an appointment to fit a SCART exhaust on Monday 16th November 2015. Great welcome by Guillaume and the whole team, it all starts with a visit of the workshop to see how the exhausts are made, which I really appreciated whilst my Porsche was taken in hand by the mecanic. Encounter with Martin Scart the magician very pleasant and welcoming over a coffee then we wait in the showroom. Several hours later the porsche is ready. Incredible sound it literally transforms the car I don't feel as though I'm in the same car. I am very pleased with this assembly and thanks once again to guillaume and all the team for their professionalism. I highly recommend it. Anthony Read more

Martin Scart is a magician!! Many have said it here before me and I thought they were probably exagerating but the job they've done on my exhaust proves it!! It just doesn't feel like the same car. Valves closed, it's just like any other Porsche, but, valves open, it "sings" marvoulously and it "takes your head off" when the revs reach 5500-6000!! I can't wait to finish the 500km run-in...Thanks again!! Read more

I wanted to thank the SCART team for their follow-up and the quality they provide! The sound is magnificent, I hadn't expected such a symphony from a flat 6, the videos I'd seen before making my choice don't do justice the quality of the sound, valves open, its a real racing car, it resonates just as it should with a variation according to the revs true to the Porsche flat 6 and the gas intakes with the PDK are really nice! valves closed, you're very close to the original Read more

Over and above my hopes and desires!!!! A very welcoming team, very professional. As for the rest, by that I mean the resulting symphony of my 1st generation Cayman......it's out of this world!!!!! Last Tuesday 2nd of December the cayman was fitted with 2 sport silencers with valves. Valves closed the result is virtually identical to the original but deeper so you're sure to be discreet, perfect. Once you open the valves......You feel a sort of cavernous growling...and at acceleration its magic!!!!!! almost racing!!!! quite exhilarating!!!!! beautiful piece of work and a fantastic result.... Well done for the product development, the quality workmanship and the professionalism. The tunnel at the Défense will tremble!!!! Read more

On the 27th of October 2014, I had a SCART Ultima exhaust fitted to my Boxster 987S (2008) at the Goussainville workshop. Since then, my car is transformed (the return journey to Metz was spell-binding). "Martin Scart is a Wizard" or The inexpensive way to transform your car.

Hello Martin,

A little email (a bit long, on rereading) to share my impressions after a few months of using my Cayman fitted with the Ultima Récital silencers.

As a reminder, you did the installation at the beginning of the year, around late January-early February. It is a phase 1 Cayman S and you installed the Ultima + a sport air filter and a Y connector.

As I told you the day I picked up my car with the installation, I'm delighted with the result!

I am just as delighted after several months of use. The silencers are now run in and I feel the sound is even more raspy than on the day it left your workshop.

What I also appreciate in this exhaust is being able to have sound when you want it and also being able to stay discreet when you want. It is one of the characteristics of this exhaust, which I had read in the descriptions and seen in the videos, but before the fitting I still wondered whether it might be too loud for "relaxed" trips. I saw (or rather heard) straight away during the test drive that indeed in "normal" driving, the sound is really almost the original one, and this is confirmed over time.

I also really appreciate having a sporty sound that matches the Porsche sound under hard acceleration, in tunnels (notably the A13 tunnel near the Pont de St Cloud, slightly uphill), it really makes you smile, which you already do anyway when driving this kind of toy!

So far I haven't yet had the chance to cover several hundred kilometres on the motorway with it, that will be for this summer. But on the peri-urban motorways in Île de France the sound level is perfectly fine so I'm not worried about the long trips to come.

That's the feedback! 😊

I hope you are well and that business is going well (I think so!).

Looking forward to seeing you again and thanks once more for your work!
