I just want to thank the one-of-a-kind and passionate Mr. Scart and his whole team, to whom I entrusted the keys of my car to fit it with a pair of ULTIMA RECITAL silencers. I pay tribute to them because the welcome, Mr. Scart's advice, the tour of his workshops, the know-how of his technicians, the test drive alongside Mr. Scart after the installation: all of it was an exceptional experience. It has become so rare to be looked after like this. I'm rediscovering my car and I'm over the moon. A big thank you for this great moment of sharing. A worthy representative of French know-how and made in France, which are fully showcased. Long live SCART Read more

Fitted a valved exhaust with PSE switch control on my 96 3.4L Cab Tiptronic + BMC sport air filter. At the first turn of the key you step into another world: with the valves closed it's already a different drive with a deep yet muted sound, but as soon as you open the valves it's a wonderfully furious melody that just wants to express itself in a crescendo as you climb through the revs. It's simply addictive, I no longer want to stop driving! Special mention to Martin Scart for his listening and the quality of his advice, to his fitter Christophe for his professionalism and kindness, and to the whole team for their welcome. A place for enthusiasts! Read more

Bravo to the whole team!! I picked up my 996 3.4L yesterday after the silencers were replaced with Ultima Recital ones, and the melody is indescribable, pure happiness! I thank Martin Scart for taking the time to call me to advise me and reassure me in my choice. I can only recommend this company for its know-how and seriousness. Porsche friends, don't go looking elsewhere! Read more

Owner of a 996 4S cabriolet fitted with the standard exhaust, hence voiceless, I wanted to give life back to the flat6. With the desire to rediscover the sounds of air-cooled engines. Not easy... on Martin's advice I opted for an Ultima Recital. Easy fitting, despite the corrosion, and from the very first turns of the wheels, I knew I had made the right choice. I wanted a melody without necessarily flirting with the red zone... and that's a win. In the spirit of convertibles, when driving smoothly and from the lowest revs, the sound becomes deep, raspy, cavernous to perfection... enveloping! It also crackles when you lift off the pedal, and the characteristic metallic sound is magnified... A delight, a real beautiful music that turns into a roar with every hard press of the throttle. The harmonics change tone and are just as thrilling. More sporty, though. So I enjoy driving with a light foot but a joyful air. It is now a great pleasure that justifies the investment. Go for it!!

At the beginning of December 2021 I bought a pair of Scart Ultima Recital silencers + a BMC sport air filter, benefiting from the 15% Black Friday discount offered by Scart on their site. In total, a discount of 351 euros including tax, which is not negligible. Living in Montpellier, I decided to have them installed this week by the garage that looks after my vehicle, Porsche ALMERAS, whom I salute in passing for their passion, their professionalism and their flawless customer relations. They did an excellent fitting job because my 2003 996 4S Tiptronic has found its baritone voice that Porsche Stuttgart had denied it... it truly breathes at last and seems grateful to me for having given life back to its 320 completely voiceless horsepower. It is a real delight to hear it let out a real lion's cry, raspy and powerful, on waking, and then to hear its deep octave climbs after the first turns of the wheels is sublime! The sound is particularly deep and raspy on the Tiptronic version and therefore perhaps less angry than on a manual gearbox and/or on an engine of smaller displacement (996 3.4L). So it depends on what you are looking for, for my part it was deep sounds faithful to the flat 6 but also discretion when coming back into my neighborhood. So thank you to Scart Exhaust for creating exhausts of such quality and beauty, in my opinion they are far above what the competition can offer, having done multiple searches and watched dozens of videos on the subject. I won't listen to Nostalgie FM much anymore, but rather radio recital flat 6, all windows open even in winter. It's a fine investment that you won't regret, go for it! Read more

I recently installed a pair of Ultima Recital silencers as well as Scart 200-cell catalytic converters, Scart of course, and the result is beyond my expectations. The sound is magical, raspy and angry and far beyond what I had been able to hear. It is very difficult to reproduce the reality of the sound in audio, but believe me it's worth the trip. On the intake, a BMC cartridge filter and relocation of the resonator. Today I am ordering the Scart stainless steel sport manifold, again to go all the way. I did the fittings myself and everything fits together perfectly. For those who are hesitating... don't turn your back on happiness any longer... go for it... you won't regret it!! Read more

A unique experience! It started a month ago when I was planning the purchase of a 996 40th Anniversary model which, despite all its options, did not have the sport exhaust. So I called the company and discussed my needs with Martin, and we confirmed the order of a valved exhaust with the original switch on the center console. I live in Marseille and wanted to have it installed in the workshop to make the most of the experience and be at the heart of the making. So I arranged this remotely and came the day after buying my car, which I picked up in Reims. So I drove 200 km with the original exhaust, with its soft and melodious sound and the excitement of the next day. On my arrival Christophe, the technician specialized in fitting, welcomed me and explained the upcoming operations in detail. While waiting, I visited the manufacturing workshop, guided by Martin, who brings to life every precision machine needed to make all the parts. Passion and good humor are perceptible in every person at this human-scale company. The additional advice and the good organization allowed me to add a BMC air filter and replace a dead license plate light. The long-awaited moment arrives and, unsurprisingly, I listen to this sound with a satisfaction that matches my wishes. Bonuses offered: polishing of the original tips, a Porsche plate machined with a precision laser, and a bottle of champagne to celebrate. After 800 km on the way home: the sound is incredible without being deafening, and even moderate at steady revs. Thank you to Martin and Christophe for your professionalism. Read more

There it is, done! Break and fitting today at Scart of an Ultima Recital for 996. I had taken my day off to have my Christmas present fitted directly in Goussainville. I didn't think I'd buy them so soon after the recent acquisition of my "frog", but since I was sure I would do it sooner or later, I took advantage of the 15% Black Friday discount and Mr. Scart's good advice. Indeed, I had set out for a valved exhaust, but he explained to me that given my goals and my car (manual gearbox), Ultima Recital silencers could suit (significant and deep sound when turning the key; very discreet sound at a steady speed and very playful sound under acceleration). It's all to his credit because it makes a difference of about 1000 euros (fitting included) in my favor, which is not negligible, not to mention a fitting time of 2 h versus a full day. In addition, he explained to me that I had 3 months to test them and come back for valves if it didn't suit me... that he would take them back and I would only have to pay the difference. Royal... and I'm taking no risk! Sold! So I arrived before the lunch break, as agreed, to let the exhaust cool down. Mr. Scart welcomed me right away and gave me a tour of his workshop, explaining the different stages of making his parts. It had been a long time since I had set foot in that kind of workshop, the smells and the machines brought back old memories.... Nice! Everything is made on site and each technician makes the exhausts from A to Z (even if it comes at a certain price, it's nice to buy French!). Mine were ready, all shiny! I was able to settle in the "warm-room" while waiting for the work and I took the opportunity to read old articles about Martin Scart, just to soak up the character ;) and to see... and touch many parts: valved systems, tips, silencers, internal views of catalytic converters.... Cool, being more of an electrician than a mechanic, I learned things! As planned, the car was almost ready at 2:30 pm: the fitter came to get me to ask what I thought of the tip adjustments and we adjusted their positions together. He even polished them (on the house) and they look new again. Very kind, by the way... and meticulous, everything I like in this kind of job. And then, the long-awaited magic moment... the 1st turn of the key...... And there you think, that changes everything!!! We went to test them by going around the block, with Mr. Scart at the wheel, and there you think wow, it really delivers! Doc Jekyll and Mr Hyde ;) and that's what I was looking for: well-behaved at a steady speed and wicked under acceleration... well thought out Mr. Scart! Back at the workshop, a new test, stationary at a steady speed and then accelerating up to 5000 rpm, and there, thanks to the rise in temperature, the sound is already louder. According to the designer, a break-in period of 500 km is needed for them to give their final sound.... What is that going to be like. Anyway, I left at 3 pm, once again as planned, with a grin on my face, ears wide open and a nervous right foot: the sound is definitely present but not too much, and you finally hear it even with the windows closed. The only hitch of the day, the traffic jams of the moment......... almost 2h30 of traffic jams, with above all the frustration of dragging along in 1st/2nd and not hearing enough of the flat6's new roars. Never mind, that will be for later, anyway with radio recital the traffic jams are shorter! In conclusion, as I've often read, it's no longer the same car: before I had a mellow GT (I forgot to say it's a 3.6 C4), now I feel like I have a race car! Thank you to Martin Scart for his welcome, his kindness and his professionalism!
PS1: That was the day after the fitting, the next morning I couldn't resist the urge to hear it before going to work....... believe me, it warms the heart for the whole day ;)
PS2: Today after more than a month of use on all types of roads, in all conditions and with or without kids in the back, I'm keeping the Ultima because it suits me perfectly!

What a great experience and what a great day. Christophe (the mechanic at work) and Martin gave my Flat6, a bit discreet on my 996 4S, its voice back. I chose the Ultima Recital with a BMC Sport air filter. I am rediscovering my car and its engine, and I had a crazy amount of fun on the way back through the various tunnels... The welcome and the explanations are top: real professionals who like to exchange about their (our) shared passion. I was guided from start to finish with all the right explanations + a test drive with the conductor (Martin) to validate the installation. Bravo to the team! As an anecdote, I came with my 71-year-old father: we listened to music on the way there. On the way back, we listened to the song of the Flat6. Thank you to the sound engineer (Martin) and his team. I now feel like I am "really" driving a Porsche, with a raspy and classy Flat! Bravo (I wasn't necessarily convinced at the start). Laurent Read more

After hesitating for a while I ordered a valved exhaust for my 996 Carrera 4. It was fitted by my favorite garage 10 days ago. The most eager to get it back was in the end my 6-year-old son, who would have had me arrive at 7 a.m. if it had been possible. Anyway, we picked up the car and there I felt like I had another Porsche; it sings, it barks, it growls, what a pleasure for the ears. So I spend my time with the window down to enjoy it better, with my son missing nothing and wearing a permanent blissful smile (the father too...). Thanks to Mr. Scart for his advice and the speed of shipping the parcel. Happy driving to all. Read more

I found my 996 4S Tiptronic great, but it was missing a little something! No problem, a visit to the workshop for the fitting of two valved pieces of craftsmanship (original Porsche button) and the magic happens! To fully appreciate the concert, a few hundred kilometers and it is a real recital on every acceleration! The professionalism is truly at the same level in both the design and the fitting! I am 100% satisfied. A big thank you to Martin Scart and his teams! Christian.A PS: I always drive with the valves open! Read more

After installing a pair of Ultima Recital silencers, it is a real joy on every acceleration to hear this furious melody!!! Delivery was made 72 hours after the first contact, and this in the middle of August. Contacts for fitting advice were always handled with great responsiveness. Congratulations to the whole team and a big thank you to Martin Scart. Read more

Martin, following our meeting at the Porsche Colors in Honfleur. As promised, a short follow-up after nearly 6 years of using my 996 4S with the Ultima Recital. Well, it's quite simple: quality-wise, nothing to report, they haven't aged a day. As for the melody, it's a recital as soon as I press the right pedal. Not deafening, nor any resonance at steady speed. But since when is good music deafening? In short, I'm a happy man and very satisfied with this purchase. Thanks again for your kindness and availability. Eric Read more

A 996 Carrera 4S deserves special care. As I'm the one that takes care of her, I changed the spark plugs and the coils and then, as my Christmas present to myself, I opted for the luxury of an Ultima Recital exhaust. There was no choice in the matter, it had to be a SCART (French and quality). I took it out for a test drive. The sound is surprising, it sounds like a real sports car. Now you know! Read more

A real joy! I went to see Martin Scart and his team to change the silencers on my 996 3.6L, with the air filter as well, and I can tell you that I am not disappointed! What a sound! My car is no longer the same. I am now behind the wheel of an ultra-sporty beast that also knows how to be discreet when needed. A new sound, raspy at low revs, furious under acceleration. The funniest thing is that it makes me want to drive slower. The pleasure of the sound multiplies the pleasure of driving. As a result, I tend to respect speed limits more. I should say that I have a cabriolet. In direct contact with the sound. Nothing but happiness then! Moreover, I must give a special mention to Martin and his team, because in addition to their extreme competence, they are particularly welcoming and friendly. I now have only one wish, to play the symphony of a real Porsche sound!!! Read more

On 12 February 2012 I chose a SCART Ultima Recital after a long explanation of the advantages of these silencers by Martin, a company that builds the sound you want to measure. It took a day to fit these silencers because the sleeves were rusted. Then came the long-awaited moment of starting up. A treat, and what's more my car is a Tiptronic. A real success, I recommend scart without hesitation. For us, a new order for my son's Boxster, he can't wait to have it. Happiness is there every time I take out my 996 Targa, thank you Martin and keep going, we love the song. Cordially, Sébastien. Read more

What a fine experience, meeting Il Maestro. The wizard sheet-metal craftsman enjoys a well-deserved reputation. Thank you Martin for giving my 996 the only quality it was missing: a voice like no other; the flat song no longer has to blush next to my Modena. Thank you Martin for your passion, your availability and your kindness. Thank you for the welcome from your whole team. Thank you simply for existing.... Read more

Fitting of valved silencers to replace the original PSE on 19/05/17. I dealt with an enthusiast, proud and happy to show his workshop and his know-how. You can tell right away that the man knows what he's talking about, his explanations are simple and clear. At the first start of my toy, what a thrill and a roar like a big cat that turns heads, nothing but happiness. I don't regret this installation at all, even if it might seem expensive to some, quality has a price and it only adds to the value of the car. Thank you Martin SCART Read more

Bravo and thank you to Martin Scart's teams! A staff of rare professionalism, modest and efficient, at the service of our passion, who allow us to honor our ears and restore the full nobility of the Flat 6 sanitized by its original silencers. Owner of a manual-gearbox TARGA, I left their workshop at 0°C, roof open, heating on, and very happy. The velvet sound envelops me in the cabin from the first engine revs, the furious, deep and melodious accelerations transform my Porsche, which will never be the same again, and it is fabulous. I had the Ultima Recital installed with the BMC filter at the SCART workshop. Thanks again. Read more

15 days ago I had an Ultima Recital fitted on my Porsche 996, hellish music, a very professional team and also very nice, on a scale of 5 to 10 I would give a 10, thanks to the Scart team.
Let's be clear, you change the exhaust on your Porsche to please yourself.
Well, the pleasure starts as early as the fitting.
A nice team that obviously loves its work and its product. Very serious, full of small attentions and explanations: systematic replacement with stainless hardware, heat-shielded pipes, etc.
On top of that, an explanatory walk around the car with the boss, and a pass with the diagnostic tool to confirm that everything was fine.
And then you hit the road. The first word that comes to mind to describe the sensations is "elegance". Surprising! At a steady speed the sound is fuller, but also softer. And as soon as you accelerate, it becomes the sound of a race car. I was a bit surprised when I got home, where I accelerated flat out at the green light in a narrow street. Insane! But not to be repeated at night... Read moreLet's be clear, you change the exhaust on your Porsche to please yourself.

At 8, I would attach a piece of cardboard with 2 clothespins to the rear wheel of my bike to make noise!
At 18, I fitted a D...l exhaust on my 40 hp Simca 1000!
44 years have passed (and 24 motorbikes) before I achieved the ultimate dream: a Porsche 996 4S cabriolet.
Bought last year and fitted with a D...k exhaust, I only had a bit of music from 5000 rpm (and even then).
So, decision to change, search on the net and choice of a Scart Ultima Recital.
After an exchange of emails and phone conversations, an appointment was made for Tuesday at 1:30 pm (5 hours on the road, 2 of them in Paris traffic jams!!) and arrival at Goussainville.
A welcome like you rarely see anymore from Guillaume (despite his bad flu), the master (sic) being absent, presentation of my Ultima, a magnificently polished piece, and fitting by the equally nice Christophe, the king of Picardy karting.
2 hours later, I was heading to Châteauroux in the rain and there, the Scart magic worked.
From 3000 rpm, a raspy sound that makes the hairs on your arms stand up, and under acceleration, well then........ Mozart, what am I saying, not Mozart, Wagner, Ride of the Valkyries style.
At a steady 140, calm in the car, but at the slightest pressure on the accelerator... Rhââ Lovely.
The best was the next day, sun, 30 degrees and I put the top down......
And there, it became a foretaste of Paradise.
Thanks again to you all.

Hello, a little trip to Goussainville last week to fit an exhaust worthy of the name on my 996 4S. Very friendly welcome, very clear explanations from the technician and the metamorphosis begins. Out with the original silencers, which had already stood the test of time, and fitting of Ultima Recital silencers. While I was at it, I also opted for a BMC air filter. Turn of the key, an imposing and slightly muffled sound rises. Test drive, the sound is nicely raspy at low revs and climbs into the high notes on acceleration... superb. Then back home, in the east, after 350 km (by the way I faced a snowstorm... in a Porsche, that's not ideal, but I got back without incident in the end). The sound has really changed; as Guillaume told me, a little break-in is needed. Now, a roar at startup, then a very well-worked sound, nicely raspy and powerful as I wanted, and beautiful vocalizations as the revs climb. It's not the same car at all, the sterile side has disappeared. Finally a real Porsche sound. I was also able to test it on the motorway... well, the noise isn't too present at steady speed and you can without hesitation consider a long trip. So I'm totally delighted, my car can now be furious when I ask it to, but also knows how to be discreet when circumstances require. A very good investment, it's really worth the trip. A big thank you to Guillaume and Christophe (the technician) for their welcome, professionalism and friendliness. A big thank you also to Martin, whom I unfortunately did not meet, for the magic of his harmonics. Olivier C Read more

Silencer with valves for 996 4S Hello Monday morning 9/11/15, check-in with the team. After several hours for the installation, new silencer fitted and then, the shock. Very surprised by the angry sound I hear, I've the impression I have a new car in my hands. I don't regret my choice of a Scart. A huge thank you to Guillaume and his enthusiastic team. Read more

Finding my 996 4S voiceless, I had the idea of treating it with some Scart with valves + BMC air filter. An excellent idea as it turns out. Since then my "frog" is unleashed. The acceleration is melodious. To be more precise, with valves closed the sound is more husky than the original, pleasant yet discrete. Valves open...pure joy. Thank you Guillaume for your warm welcome, continue the good work Read more

As agreed here's the photo of your 200 cell sport cats installed on my 996 4S by Pascal Germain at GT Sport! To follow, certainly a sport air filter, followed then by new silencers...I want to go metallic! Thanks again for the excellent work.
FANTASTIC! I have equipped my 996 4S with two Scart silencers with valves operated by switch. Even with valves closed the sound is really nice and the car is completely transformed once the valves are opened, what a delight. It feels like driving a new car. The switch means that I don't wake the neighbours or can pass discretely through a sleepy village, then open the valves on the open country or mountain roads... A real fest. Very professional welcome and job by the whole team. As for Martin Scart, an enthusiast and a great guy who knows his subject. I highly recommend the transformation... Read more

Hi, very disappointed by the sound or rather the lack of sound of my 996 C4S I went for the Ultima Recital which I fitted myself. What a change! Nice sound when idling, a roar at acceleration and quiet when cruising, perfect on a long journey. The finish is super, fitting easy, just one hick - the price which has just gone up... Read more

My 996 4S was too sanitised for my taste, and I was searching the internet for possible solutions. And that's when I discovered the Martin SCART site. After listening to the different options, I chose the ULTIMA RÉCITAL model. Thanks in passing for the patience and kindness shown by Guillaume. In short, purchase and fitting at a friend who is a mechanic. My only regret: I should have made the trip to Goussainville to benefit from Martin SCART's expertise, and it would have let me visit "the sorcerer's lair" because that's what it is!!!!!!!!! The drive back from the Jura to Haute-Savoie over the passes, the Faucille among them, was such a treat! The mountains are still echoing with it today! Porsche fans, take the time to visit the site and enjoy the different concerts on offer. Pure happiness!!!!!!! Thanks again to Martin SCART, who allowed me to transform my 996 4S into a real sports car, which it was not before as far as sound goes! Read more

Hello,
I found the sound of my Flat 6 (996 C4 Cab, 2003) extremely bland, not to say non-existent!
After some research on the Internet, you quickly come down to 2 players: French or German - oh, isn't that the nationality of my beloved? The Stuttgart side appealed to me, but in case of a problem...
And then, after a few emails and phone calls (thanks to Guillaume for his patience), well, you can feel the enthusiasts, the good advice, no pushy selling but rather advised / guided selling! Take the time to listen, go on the site, on the FB... take your time (I wouldn't have had that with the Germans, who are much more direct). I also particularly loved: "When you listen to it, you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner" - well, pardon the expression, "Damn it", he was 50000% right.
For the choice, follow the advice and listen! Personally, and here it really is personal (my ears): the Classic and the Valve are too high-pitched / metallic whereas the Ultima Récital, after several listens on different Flat 6s, well, for me it was the TOP of the TOP of the TOP. Because of budget (many modifications under way), I did not change my cats, which will very probably be replaced by 300cc ones (the Pro's advice) in 2016. However, Guillaume advised me to change the air filter for the sake of musicality - OK.
At the fitting, in early February, after a lap around the block (I hadn't found the shop, half hidden at the end of a street), we were given a super welcome with a little coffee, a tour of the restaurant, er, no, the shop, cleaner than a restaurant! The fitter, a GEM! He explains everything, gives cleaning tips... A gem, I tell you. He also confirms that changing the air filter brings a nice little extra. But, big surprise on my beauty which unfortunately knocked me out: my rear tyres were dead even though they were only a year old and had been checked not long before! I fell apart and spent my time looking for THE solution so I could enjoy my potential new sound!
The test drive with Guillaume and the drive home (alone) were therefore good but I wasn't really there - and for good reason, the fear of "crashing".
On the other hand, after fitting my 4 new tyres and covering about a thousand kilometres, there, phew, a radical change of sound, a pure marvel, and I confirm: why not have done it sooner! Perhaps because I didn't know :)
In use, at the very beginning, I was afraid because I found there were vibrations and a "droning" (a "heavy" sound that feels a bit odd in my ears) in the car and that it might "wear me out" on long journeys but, after a few hundred kilometres, as Guillaume had said, the sound changes a little and everything falls into place. In town, gently easing the throttle, you get a sound that is more present than before but barely audible. At a steady speed, the "droning" is sometimes audible but really light and not bothersome. Under acceleration, excuse me, "Damn"... pure happiness!
The most impressive: in the Rocquencourt tunnel. A tiny little "run" with a 997 ==> Phew, you couldn't hear it any more!
The catch: fuel consumption goes through the roof!!! Indeed, I downshift much more than before and accelerate much harder than before because that sound, phew, is a real delight! Catch 2: since you accelerate more, people hear you more and at every toll booth everybody looks at you and I don't like that much, but it's hard to do otherwise. Catch 3: driving with the window open in winter (and sometimes in the rain) to enjoy the sound even more! Yes yes, we did it :)
If you hesitate, rack your brains over "THE" right selection of "your right" product and GO FOR IT! It's impossible to regret it! I get home late on Sunday evenings, but by gently easing the throttle (it's very very hard but no choice), I have no problem. On the other hand, on a cold start, er, well, how shall I put it, I wake everyone up and I've already been told (or given to understand), but with a big smile: "I heard you leave very early this morning!".
Finally, I'm 46 and I had 997 Adaptive Sport Seats installed in my 996 (it was difficult, it took a lot of work but Hugues managed it - thanks to him) and my preference goes to the seats and then the silencers; my 24-year-old nephew, for his part, unreservedly prefers the sound of the silencers and then the seats! Phew, and what about his back, eh, does he think about that?! :)
PS 1: I was thinking of changing my hi-fi system, well, thanks SCART, I saved myself that modification :) My new sound system suits me more than perfectly. PS 2: Can't wait for the convertible side so I can enjoy it even more!
Sorry for being so long, but I could talk about it for hours.
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE FITTER (whose first name I still don't have - little message to Guillaume) and to the whole SCART team, who are really super nice.
Good musicality to you. Read moreHello,

Recent owner (a little under a year) of a 996 carrera 4S cabriolet, I wanted to give the sound of my 911 a real boost. I chose a pair of silencers (Ultima Recital plus air filter) and it's a never-ending recital, I live in central France and though the journey up towards Paris wasn't very thrilling, the return journey, was just great and it was raining so the roof was up, but roof down... I can't wait for the first rays of sunshine to hear the Flat6 sing. since the 17th of February my 911 is transformed it's a great organ it's all I had hoped for and more a huge thanks to Martin SCART and to all his team for the great job they do and the welcome I received when I visited them.

I've just acquired my first porsche 996 and it's true the sound of the original isn't bad, but I wanted to have a real Flat 6 with more oomph and thanks to Martin Scart, his team and his silencers (Ultima Recital) the car is transformed, it's all that I hoped for a huge thanks once again to Martin Scart and his team.
I've just sold my carrera S 997 to buy a GT3 3.6L and what I'll miss most, is the magnificent sound of its SCART Ultima Recital exhaust. A deep, husky sound, great no more need of the car stereo the car sings at the slightest acceleration with a little backfire when you slow down just like a racing car! Well done Mr SCART, and at cruising the sound is normal just as it should be. It's the best exhaust for the 997 S, in addition to which Mr scart is a great guy and always attentive, an enthusiast. Don't hesitate to give yourself a treat, it'll transform your car. Read more

I am ecstatic since I had 2 Ultima Recital silencers fitted to my 996 3.4l at Plan de Campagne in March 2014. I've discovered a new car. What music, just as much at a steady engine speed as at high revs. What a pleasure it is driving on country roads and to be able to hear that fabulous Flat 6 sing at last. Thanks once again to Martin Scart for all the explanations he gave me and for the test drive together after the fitting. Olivier (Toulon) Read more

2 years ago I acquired a 996 3.4 (a childhood dream come true at 40). Right from the start I couldn't wait to install some scarts as the sound of the original really isn't up to the standard of such a car. I finally had them installed today (2 magnificent polished stainless steel objects, beautiful Scart workmanship), it really isn't difficult (you just need a bit of perseverance and a bit of WD40 where it's seized up). The car is transformed. At last a sound worthy of a sports car. Read more

We're close to perfect. Scart Classic on a 996 3.4L for an exceptional sound, true to the Porsche spirit... Visit to the workshop, advice, anecdotes and real professionalism from the entire team. Well done !
In May 2014 I bought a Porsche 996 4S with a defective Pse. According to Porsche the exhaust needed replacing and the estimate was totally unreasonable.... Appointment made with Martin Scart to fit a pair of SCART silencers with valves, 4 hours of hard labour due to the rust...which didn't put off such a professional and experienced man, really nice guy too!!! see the excellent article which ("literally") describes him as "the Porsche whisperer". And its not a Hollywood production but a superb French production the end product being a work of art made of stainless steel!! and what can I say about the all important issue - the sound, it's good... it's magnificent... what a pleasure it is to drive!!!! Thank you very much Martin it's PERFECT!!! Read more

A big thank you to Martin Scart for his work and for fitting my exhaust. I had discovered the Ultima Recital on a 996 4S Tiptronic with which I was 100% satisfied and I highly recommend it. This time as the happy owner of a 996 Turbo Cab with a manual gearbox, it needed a voice and it was with complete confidence that I turned to Martin and his team. So I chose an exhaust without valves, with a dyno session for engine optimisation and a change of air filters and tips. The result: magical, killer, grandiose, fantastic etc... Nothing to complain about on the sound, it's all I wanted... Those who are worried can rest assured... The noise is perfectly acceptable for the neighbours, your wife or girlfriend and for yourself. A lot is said on the internet but now that I've taken the plunge I can speak with full knowledge of the facts: - in gentle driving you just need to manage your gear and your accelerator pedal well and that's it, your Porsche will be very discreet - but if you decide to put the power down and be wild and sporty with your mount then... all you can do is take a handkerchief to wipe away a tear, the sound gives you so much emotion and such a thrill. At last your Turbo sings, it's raspy and powerful with great depth and superb intensity, all without being unpleasant and without excessive resonance in the car. You can feel all the work done to achieve this result. Real craftsman's work, perfectionist, demanding and passionate. Thanks again to Martin and his team for the quality of the work.

The 8th of July 2014 Porsche 996 3.6L BV6 Pure joy, a fabulous sound !! Ultima Recital fitted at Plan de Campagne. Great work and very pro ! Thanks to all the Scart team Thierry
A huge thanks to Martin Scart for his help. I bought a pair of Ultima Recital and I didn't know how to fit them. A quick call and Martin took me through the steps in 2 mins. A big thank you for being so reliable. Added to which the exhausts are fabulous. Beautifully made and a cool sound at mid throttle and exquisite once you open up... You've got it, I recommend RSTUBE and Scart.....THANK YOU Read more

Patrice, May 28th 2014. vehicle: Porsche 996 4S. Excellent sound with the scart ultima recital I don't need the car stereo any more the sound is so good. A real pleasure. Well done and thank you.
Even though you'd forgotten my appointment, you did all that was necessary to have my Ultima finished and fitted within the hour, quite a race !!! The result is all I had hoped for, the write-ups on line are all true. My 911 is transformed. Thanks once again JMT
Late November 2013, owner of a 996 C4S with a sound that I found "weak", I was looking for a sport silencer which I could disconnect. By pure chance, I came across Martin SCART's website which apart from giving me hope informed me that a new workshop had opened just off the Marseille ringroad. Appointment booked, I introduced the "beast" and the man religiously set about presenting his range. Products made from French stainless steel, hand made and fitted by his fair hand!!!!! I'd initially planned on simply having a look but in the end I left him with my toy, which 24 hours later left the workshop with a pair of Ultima Recital silencers, handmade dual tail-pipes, new air fiter and a turn on the power bench which showed that in addition to a sound which would make an Italian blush there was a substantial increase in hp and torque!!! I think of this man every day when I start up my car and remind myself that French craftmanship is good! Thank you Mr Martin SCART for what you have achieved. Read more

Hello everyone, Since the age of 10 I have always loved 911s, it never went away, and now at 45, the dream has come true! Recent owner of a 1998 996 3.4, I've been having a blast for a few months. But what a disappointment on the sound front, totally sanitised, ordinary. Of course I landed on the RSTUBE videos. I wanted to buy and have it fitted in my city of Tours. One phone call to Martin later, and on 9 April I was heading back to Tours on the A10 with 2 ULTIMA Recital "on my backside". I was right to make the trip. I was able to watch the fitting by pros, chat with the boss, very friendly and not stingy with explanations, and take the demo drive to understand the SCART sound! It's as if I had a new car, you're finally in a sports car. The result is masterful: a low little crack at start-up, it looks great, smooth and raspy at steady revs, and downright racing as soon as the right foot gets a bit heavier. It's really astonishing to get such a result, not to mention the beauty of the stainless steel parts made on the bench! Best wishes to this fine French company! Read more

Produced from 1997 to 2005, the 911 Type 996 is the first water-cooled 911, a major break in the model's history. Under the hood, a 3.4L flat-6 producing 300 hp (1997-2001), then 3.6L producing 320 hp (2002-2005). The Turbo delivers 420 hp (450 hp with X50 option or Turbo S), the GT3 360 then 381 hp, the GT2 up to 483 hp. Available as coupé, cabriolet and Targa (from 2002).
For the 996, Scart offers its Sport range, the Ultima Récital, the valved exhaust and the 200-cell sport catalysts that bring +12 hp on stock 996 (3.4L and 3.6L) and +11 hp on 996 GT3.
