The 550 km to pay a short visit to the SCART workshops near Paris were justified! Excellent welcome, craftsmanship and very professional work with an uncommon level of build quality. The fitting of my valved exhaust (with a switch) was carried out in the Scart workshops. Excellent work and a great result!!! A sound almost identical to the original with the valves closed and a crazy sound once they are open. Pure pleasure for the ears, whenever you want it :o) Read more

Today, 09/04/2024: a welcoming and very professional team. Thank you to Christophe and his workshop manager for installing a SCART exhaust on my car. I highly recommend this company, which specializes in exhausts for Porsche and other sports cars. Pascal
Hello fellow Porsche fans, I wanted to thank Mr. SCART for his great professionalism and know-how. I thought about it for a long time and finally gave in and had this exhaust fitted on my 997 Phase 2. The cost is not negligible, but believe me, friends, you won't regret it!! You will feel like you've changed cars!! For those who live in Rhône-Alpes, I recommend the garage Ljmotorsport, real pros. Raph Read more

I've just picked up my car and it's transformed. The new button on the dashboard is magic. The installation is perfect, and they even took advantage of the bumper being removed to repair my proximity sensors. Thank you to the whole team.
Dear Porsche friends, those who think the stock 997.2 is the most voiceless Porsche on the market (even with the PSE) are absolutely right! I own one that had the original PSE, but with an X-Pipe from another brand, which basically brought it back to a Phase 1 with a stock PSE... I was lucky enough to be able to compare (I came by on the right day, an exceptional one...!) during my visit to Dayraut Racing / Gliss Auto Sport in Toulouse, two 997.2s, one fitted with a Scart valved X-Pipe and the other with another brand. There was no comparison... So I decided, as a first step, to swap my standard X-Pipe for a Scart valved X-Pipe, which matched the sound I had heard in Toulouse. That is already not bad at all, combined with BMC air filters. After some very friendly discussions with Martin Scart and a look at my finances, I decided to go for the "full works": - 200 CC headers and catalytic converters; - Valved X-Pipe; - Reliability upgrade / modification of the original silencers; - BMC air filters. For those who are not geographically close to Martin SCART's workshops, the reliability upgrade of the silencers requires a round trip to their workshop, which was done in 72 hours from Toulouse. I went to see the parts on receipt in Toulouse, and they are real works of art! I could not wait to see them fitted. It is a pity that I cannot put a photo of the parts and of the result once fitted on the car on the site. It is simply magnificent! Now, let's get to the heart of the matter, the sound! To quote Martin Scart on the phone: "With the valved X-Pipe (and I insist on the valved model, not the standard one), you are on another planet, with the 200 CC catalytic converters in another galaxy!" That is exactly it! I went out with 30 Porsches, and mine became the loudest. A true symphony, loud, powerful and raspy, while staying in the Porsche spirit. Proof that the 3.8L flat, even with direct injection, only wants to express itself. You get the best sound you can get out of a naturally aspirated flat! I would say without hesitation that Martin Scart is the Mozart of Porsches! My wife, who does not particularly like cars, even found it beautiful. A friend who is crazy about cars found it orgasmic: "I got my panties wet!" (sic). Remarks that greatly amused Cédric from Gliss Auto Sport. The father of this same friend owned several Porsches a few years ago (993) and has since switched to Ferrari... When we stopped by to let him listen: "It almost makes me want to come back to Porsche!" These are just the little anecdotes, I could write line after line about the positive feedback I have had... Driving through the Somport tunnel this weekend on the way back from Spain was simply demonic (8.6 km)!!! The icing on the cake: with the valves closed (on the original switch bar), it goes back to being the well-behaved girl from a good family in the nice neighborhoods... Handy for leaving or coming home in the evening without disturbing the neighbors! To finish, to quiet a few rumors: no warning lights on, no "Christmas tree", even after 500 km this weekend... As for the technical inspection, I know others who pass it with 200 CC catalytic converters, which Martin Scart also confirmed to me. Aware that the complete line is a budget, I wanted to give a detailed and precise review. I would have liked to find this kind of comment before deciding "blindly" after reading the other comments, where you don't necessarily understand what was modified. Thanks also to the Gliss Auto Sport / Dayraut Racing garage, to Xavier, Cédric and their team of mechanics for their professionalism and their listening. I think I can say without being wrong that they appreciated the result! "A 997 Cup" NB: I have no shares in Scart or Dayraut!!! Read more

Hello, before my purchase, like many of you, I compared the models from the different brands, I watched dozens of videos, I read the forum comments, it's not easy to form an opinion without having listened live. Anyway, since the Scart model is often praised, I took the plunge, fed up with the flat 6 being far too discreet. I love listening to beautiful engine sounds, I even go to every edition of Le Mans Classic to listen to the monsters of the 70s and 80s, what music! So my 997 had to sing too. Anyway, I place my order, and I fit the valved model on my car. The fitting doesn't require any particular mechanical skills, the hardest part is removing the bolts affected by rust, which takes a bit of patience. Mine has a few uncommon specifics (3.6L, manual gearbox), which changes the fitting a little. Martin Scart was there to answer all my questions, so thank you to him. Fitting finished, night had fallen, I go for a drive with my son, who doesn't want to miss a single bit. What can I say about the sound? Forget the videos, reality is much better. The sound is deep and raspy without being too loud, just what it takes, the revs climbing make you feel like you're driving a race car! I overdo the heel-and-toe on downshifts, it's a treat and it's so enjoyable that we add a few detours to the drive. I drove for 4 years with an almost silent 911, I now have a new 911, thanks to Martin's talent, it's art. To all those who are still hesitating, go to him. Read more

I rarely leave reviews after my purchases because it's not my thing, but here I feel compelled to write a nice little note, I'm so delighted with what the Scart valves and X-pipe bring me when I hear that magnificent sound pouring out of my exhausts. I wanted to improve the sound of my flat 6 while keeping the original tailpipes and being able to switch back to the original mode if I felt like it; those conditions are met and I feel like I've changed cars. What a pleasure! For those who are still hesitating to take the plunge (I waited 2 years too long :), go for it, I highly recommend this system, with the switch cleverly hidden by my mechanic in the side carpet. Thanks to the team for the advice at Paradis Porsche in Saint-Tropez, and to Martin Scart for quickly sorting out a few shipping issues. Flat-sixly yours. Read more

Always a pleasure to install Scart exhausts in our workshops. Everything is well aligned, detailed and fits perfectly. A real treat.
Many thanks to Mr. SCART and his mechanic for their availability, patience and kindness, and of course: congratulations on his exhausts, which live up to their reputation. These exhausts should be fitted as standard... I personally equipped both my 987.1 and my 997.2: 100% satisfaction.
I've just given my 997 GTS cabriolet its voice back. After a short stop at Atelier 911 in Mérignac, I added a valved exhaust to my beauty, with the device that removes the cut-off. And there, I have to tell you, what a surprise (I'm grinning just writing this comment). It changes everything! The raspy sound when the valves are open is magical under acceleration and muted at a steady speed. With the valves closed, it's more subdued but you can feel the sound is still there. In short: pure happiness to have found a Porsche with the sound it so badly lacked. A big thank you to Martin SCART for his availability and advice, and also to Jérôme CARRERO of Atelier 911 who did a very good job. BRAVO!!! Read more

I hesitated for a long time, for financial reasons, and also to have something reversible in case I need to go back to Porsche Approved. I took the X-Pipe configuration, with the cut-out removed, and an air filter... and I don't regret it, a very beautiful piece, slightly visible :-). In terms of sound, it's finally a sports car, with the window closed, and even better open, I can finally hear it in tunnels :-) :-) and it allows for some lovely lyrical flights. The only downside, but it's due to the PDK, is that you don't always get the same rage on acceleration, even flat out, which can bring surprises when it really takes off :-). The sound is better both with and without valves, quite violent if you leave the valve open at startup, but it's really great! Overall, acceleration is also better, and I'd say it's a bit like going from Sport mode to Sport Plus, there is less inertia, it wants more and revs up a little faster. I really don't regret my choice, the team is very friendly, the professional fitting was done on site, and it feels good to have French products, I think that gives an extra touch. This modification is true to the GTS, between the S and the GT3, one more step towards the track and sport, but still with great class :-) Safe driving to all, hoping to cross paths one of these days :-) to share our passion for 'frogs'!

Hello,
BMC air filter + Scart X-pipe + removal of the automatic closing of the valves = great happiness! With the PSE on, the 997 sings without ever overdoing it, a metallic soar through the revs, a deep crackle when you lift off, the soundtrack matches the car's performance. Thanks to Martin and his team for the welcome, an example of French know-how and a precious address for all lovers of fine mechanics! Read moreHello,

After owning my 997.2 S for a year, I decided to give it some vocal exercises and chose a valved Scart exhaust. After a phone call and booking an appointment with Martin Scart, I found myself at his premises 2 weeks later for the installation. Very warm welcome, a tour and explanation of the workshop with Martin Scart, I settled in comfortably to wait, and after 5 hours the car was started, and there! Valves closed it's like stock, but valves open it's exceptional, I could hardly wait to go and try it. An exceptional sound on acceleration. Truly a quality exhaust, with the valves open I feel like I have a new car. Fellow Porsche owners, if you want to give your 997 a voice, don't hesitate, think SCART. A big thank you to Martin Scart and his whole team for the welcome and the explanations, you are at the top. MG Read more

Very happy with our first Porsche (997-2 Targa 4S), my wife and I found it a bit dysphonic... Warmly welcomed by Mr. Scart and reassured by the professionalism of Christophe the fitter, we left Goussainville with 2 cars instead of one (fitting of a valved exhaust + Porsche control switch bar + BMC air filters). With the valves open, it is ample, raspy and deep at low revs, magnified between 2 and 3500 rpm, and beyond that increasingly metallic and frankly furious, all while keeping the Porsche sound, with a few unexpected and delightful burbles on deceleration... With the valves closed, you have a civilized car with a muted, refined sound that will not bother anyone on your route; ours is even quieter than before, because of a small pre-existing modification that Christophe removed during fitting; very pleasant in town or at a steady speed on the motorway, for talking calmly. In short, we are delighted and can recommend Mr. Scart, his team and his products without reservation. Read more

After owning a 997 Carrera Phase 1 with a sweet (standard) sound, acquiring a Phase 2 Carrera S left me disappointed, it was voiceless. I went to Martin Scart, who advised me well (valved central exhaust + Porsche PSE switch strip + BMC sport air filter). Before starting the conversion, I was able to hear the result on an identical model that had just come out of their workshop. In short, it's expensive but the advice is good, the workshop manager is great, Martin is very welcoming and professional, and above all the result is PERFECT! Driving pleasure rediscovered with a perfect sound (and the option of keeping quiet too, which is perfect for peace with the neighbors). I RECOMMEND! Read more

Great communication to find the right configuration together. Fitting done through my independent garage. Catalytic converter + valved X-pipe. Closed: at a steady speed almost the same as the original, in the revs very nice, finally worthy of the car and with no drawbacks. Open: Diabolical! In sport or sport + mode, demonic in the revs. A new car ;) Read more

Finding, like many owners of a 997 GTS or Phase 2, that the sound of the original exhaust, even with PSE, was really timid (not to say non-existent), I naturally did some research on various Porsche forums and that's where I came across SCART. 100% handmade and 100% French, with top-quality materials, so I looked for videos to hear the difference and indeed it's excellent. A short email and 2 hours later I received a call from Martin Scart in person (that's nice), and after a few minutes of sound advice, the appointment was made. On site, a very warm welcome, a technician took charge of my beauty, and the work began. I opted for the valved exhaust, the BMC air filters and, for the finish, beautiful chrome tailpipes. Throughout the process they call you to take photos of the disassembly and the various changes. The mechanic is very professional, very careful, artist's work... A few hours later, the long-awaited moment arrives, we turn the key and there... the magic happens, the sound is magnificent, well beyond my expectations because in the videos online, the sounds are flattened. In closed mode the noise is very discreet, in open mode it's a very deep, powerful sound, worthy of a track car. I recommend this modification, you can go in with your eyes closed, satisfaction guaranteed. Read more

Disappointed by the PSE on the 997 Phase 2, I naturally turned to the 911 wizard, Martin Scart (thanks to the forums). Welcomed as if I were part of the family, I was able to appreciate the know-how that comes from long experience, which immediately puts a technical enthusiast like me at ease. The in-house fabrications could honorably sit in a display case in my living room (in my workshop, says my wife). I wanted a Miss Jekyll and Miss Hyde 911 and signed up for the stainless headers + 200 cell sport cat + Scart valve assembly + X-pipe + anti-cut-off box, so almost the max configuration (yes, you can also add the in-house wing silencers, which bring a few soprano notes to the melody). After a few interminable hours of patience, the verdict came in. How to put it... the results are above my expectations: with the valves closed (PSE button off), the sound is almost identical to stock, although a bit sportier. With the valves open, the sound is that of a GT3... a tuned one!!! The specific sound of the flat 6 is still there, but much more aggressive and metallic the higher you go in the revs. By my criteria, there is no excess, because you just press the magic button to return to normal. Let's be clear, the sound is somewhat out of the ordinary and that is what I was looking for, but it is no louder than other Italian, American or Teutonic cousin toys from the factory. I only use it in the open countryside but I sometimes give in when passing through a tunnel... mea culpa and ave Martin! Read more

Hello, I'm not used to expressing myself online but given the quality of the welcome and of the service at Martin Scart's workshops, I'm making an exceptional point of doing so with pleasure. I live in the Bordeaux region and had to pick up my car in Strasbourg on 30/11/2021. About 1 week before, I had Mr. Scart on the phone describing the product I was interested in (valved X-pipe). I decided to trust him and asked whether it would be possible to install it on 01/12/2021, since I would be traveling to the Paris region on the very day of the purchase and could head back to Bordeaux the next day. To accommodate me, Martin asked one of his customers, for whom he had already made the exhaust, whether he could slightly postpone his installation so that he could install mine on my vehicle. On the evening of the 30th, Martin Scart was waiting for me at his workshop at 6 pm, dropped me off at the hotel and committed to starting work at 7 am so that I could get back on the road as early as possible. The next day he put his showroom at my disposal, where I could admire some of his works and, incidentally, get some work done. Beforehand, he had given me a tour of his workshop and presented the famous X-pipe that was going to equip my vehicle. Around 3:30 pm I was sending an email when suddenly I heard a rather fabulous noise that could resemble the sound of a flat six. I got up to see which vehicle was the source of this beautiful music and what was my surprise to see that it was my 997 with Martin at the wheel (Yes, yes, I checked the license plate to leave no room for doubt). I would just like to add that even with the valves closed there is already a plus in terms of sound while remaining very discreet. I think this little story says enough about the quality and professionalism of Martin Scart's workshops. A big thank you to Martin and perhaps see you soon for further upgrades! Read more
Hello, I'm not used to expressing myself online but given the quality of the welcome and of the service at Martin Scart's workshops, I'm making an exceptional point of doing so with pleasure. I live in the Bordeaux region and had to pick up my car in Strasbourg on 30/11/2021. About 1 week before, I had Mr. Scart on the phone describing the product I was interested in (valved X-pipe). I decided to trust him and asked whether it would be possible to install it on 01/12/2021, since I would be traveling to the Paris region on the very day of the purchase and could head back to Bordeaux the next day. To accommodate me, Martin asked one of his customers, for whom he had already made the exhaust, whether he could slightly postpone his installation so that he could install mine on my vehicle. On the evening of the 30th, Martin Scart was waiting for me at his workshop at 6 pm, dropped me off at the hotel and committed to starting work at 7 am so that I could get back on the road as early as possible. The next day he put his showroom at my disposal, where I could admire some of his works and, incidentally, get some work done. Beforehand, he had given me a tour of his workshop and presented the famous X-pipe that was going to equip my vehicle. Around 3:30 pm I was sending an email when suddenly I heard a rather fabulous noise that could resemble the sound of a flat six. I got up to see which vehicle was the source of this beautiful music and what was my surprise to see that it was my 997 with Martin at the wheel (Yes, yes, I checked the license plate to leave no room for doubt). I would just like to add that even with the valves closed there is already a plus in terms of sound while remaining very discreet. I think this little story says enough about the quality and professionalism of Martin Scart's workshops. A big thank you to Martin and perhaps see you soon for further upgrades!
I would like to very sincerely thank Christophe, as friendly as he is competent, who this morning expertly installed a valved exhaust on my 997 Phase II Targa 4S. It roars or purrs on demand, to my great pleasure. I would also like to thank Martin, who is truly the Mozart of the exhaust and who welcomed me very warmly! I highly recommend Scart, the result is truly stunning and the team is really great! Bravo and thanks again, Philippe Read more

Having owned my second 911 4S for over a month, I was eager to give my frog some vocal exercises! Indeed, I can confirm that this 997.2 is far too quiet for my taste to be able to appreciate the beauty in all her splendour. So quite naturally I turned to the valved exhaust (for the original PSE) recommended by Martin Scart for this model. I was literally blown away by the demonic sound released by my beauty from the very first turn of the key!!! At idle, you hear an imposing, deep, raspy sound without being unbearable. As soon as you accelerate up the revs, the sound gains amplitude and becomes simply exhilarating! The Porsche sound is totally respected! The little extra? When you lift off the throttle, you hear amplified overrun sounds! Pure happiness! You become addicted to this sound! As soon as you switch off the engine, you only want one thing: to start it again! With the original PSE, I was able to connect the valve opening to the button on the centre console. A little extra to respect the Porsche original. Once the valves are closed, I can confirm that my beauty behaves perfectly. You'd think no modification had been made. It's real comfort: you remain master of the place and the moment when you want your devilish frog to express itself. Otherwise, I'm not sure the neighbours would accept hearing it in the middle of the night from miles away :) ..... In short, an investment totally worthy of the pleasure it gives! Hats off Mr. SCART! Safe travels fellow Porsche fans, and run to Martin with your eyes closed! :) PS: the sound you hear in the videos gives you an idea. However, it's nothing compared with hearing it in real life.

After 4 years of using my car with the original (voiceless) tailpipes, I decided to redo the entire system: from the catalytic headers to the outlet. The welcome is top, with a team of passionate craftsmen (the parts are made on site). The visual result is simply perfect and will obviously age much better than the original parts. In terms of sound, with the valves closed, I get a much more present sound that nevertheless remains "discreet", it keeps the characteristics of the original sound while improving it, making the 997 much more alive. With the valves open, it's another universe: at startup the car lets out a totally exhilarating VRAAAM. When driving, below 3000/4000 rpm the sound is cavernous, very deep in the low end but never becoming deafening. Higher in the revs the noise becomes demonic and addictive, leading me to use the PDK's manual mode to enjoy it to the fullest. In my opinion, the absolute must remains driving through tunnels with a pull from 4,000 rpm to go to the rev limiter. In short, I found a new 911 with more punch and a sound beyond anything I have been able to try. And of course I received congratulations from my neighbors, fans of fine machinery, for this investment! Read more

During the lockdown I phoned Martin SCART for information and to reassure myself about the choice of giving vocal cords back to my beauty. A month later I was on the road to Goussainville. The mechanic's welcome was unprecedented. As if we had known each other for years. The removal and refitting were done with a master's hand. A professional like you'd like to see more often in the CPs (workshops). When it was started, an extraordinary sound came out of this flat 6. I ended up with the smile of a kid who had just been given his first console. And what can I say about Martin SCART, who even called me on the way back to apologize for not having been able to say goodbye when I left and to ask how I felt about it. In the end, this valved exhaust reinforces my decision to keep this car, which has become magical for me. Read more

I hesitated for a long time over this valved exhaust given the amount of money it represents, but I let myself be tempted. Great result, with the valves closed, the sound is relaxing and even roars a little in the revs. With the valves open, it's another car with a demonic sound, all controlled by the original PSE button on the console. Bravo to the whole team and to the mechanic I had in Goussainville at Martin Scart's, who was super nice and very professional from start to finish, showing me all the steps of the fitting. Read more

For the first anniversary of the arrival of my 997 GTS convertible I had decided, after reading a lot of comments on various forums, to offer him the only thing he lacked: a real "voice" (the PSE having a timbre a little too slender for my taste). Barely out of the deconfinement and after exchanging with Martin Scart by email and phone (thank you for the availability and the precious advices), I therefore went to Goussainville. Arrived on site at 8:00 am, welcome by Christophe "the" editing specialist (it seems that Martin thinks he can do the whole operation blindfolded, that's to say) who patiently explained to me all that he was going to do and allowed me to take multiple photos of the operation. Comfortably installed to be able to work on my side during the intervention, I left shortly after 3:00 p.m. On the way back, already the impression of being "elsewhere", in another car. But the 35km that bring me home (suburbs, periphery and co) not being ideal to make an impression I waited the following weekend and a stroll towards the south of Ile-de-France, hood open to give me a real opinion. And indeed I can now confirm to you all that I read of positive on this exhaust of madness. A just phenomenal, captivating sound that takes you to the guts and puts a huge smile on your lips. The valve system makes it possible to reduce, of course, if necessary, but at a stable speed, with the valves open, in my opinion we can make long journeys without discomfort. So a big thank you to Martin and Christophe for their advice, their availability, their kindness and for this magical sound! Read more

But why did I wait so long for my valved exhaust? My 997 sings like never before, it's a killer. Its roar is raspy as soon as you give it gas. A few light backfire-type pops on deceleration. In short, pure happiness even at low speed. You even get back a bit of the sound of the old air-cooled ones, so you really keep the Porsche sound. Bravo Martin Scart! And a great fitting at your partner Atelier 911 in Bordeaux (Mérignac). It's an investment I recommend to you, I feel like I've changed Porsche. With the valve closed you get the old sound back. What a pleasure, this magic button that completes my row of switches. Read more

Owner for 2 years of a 997 S Phase 2 coupe chosen after a long search regarding which options to go for (in particular the famous PSE), I finally gave in and decided to fit the Scart valved exhaust. A diehard fan of originality, I hesitated far too long, fortunately encouraged by the availability and kindness of Martin Scart, always very warm on the phone. I received the item last week and did the installation this weekend. And now Wowwwww!!! A new magic button has appeared in the car: it sings with a whole range of variations, in particular with a new pleasure of changing gears manually. It's the exhaust this car deserves. I should point out that the "valve closed" mode lets you get back a discreet car, noticeably identical to the original. In short, this Scart is magic, essential to rediscover sensations even when driving at a reasonable speed, nothing like the original PSE. Thank you to Martin Scart for making this diabolical technology available to enthusiasts like us. Read more

Since buying my first Porsche, a 997 2S PDK, a year and a half ago, the only thing missing was sound. To fix that, I chose the valved SCART exhaust. Impeccable welcome and handling last Monday by a team of enthusiasts. Workshop tour by Martin SCART, with many explanations. Everything is made on site. I was able to settle in comfortably to work while being notified of the key stages of the operation. Then comes the moment to start the engine. And there, with the valves open, a very pleasant raspy noise fills the workshop. Then comes the short test drive on Martin's usual route, passing under the Francilienne and through a small village to really show off the new equipment. With the valves closed, the sound seems slightly rounder than the original. With the valves open at low revs it's a delight, without the Porsche PSE cut between 45 and 75 km/h, and at the top it's divine. Raspy at the bottom, and more and more metallic towards the top. In short, to be consumed without moderation at all revs. Moreover, at steady speed it stays quiet, with no resonance in the cabin. So, perfect, including for motorway trips. The original strip replaced by a new strip with the Porsche PSE button, allowing the valves to be closed or opened, brings a seriousness and an irreproachable quality to the installation. And to finish, polishing of the exhaust tips for the best effect! Back home in pouring rain but with the valves permanently open and a huge grin. A big thank you therefore to Martin Scart and his whole team for the work done! Go there with complete confidence! Read more

2009 Cabriolet, installed a central valved module on the good advice of Martin in person at Villanueva in Bayonne, with a PSE button in the center console. I always drive with it open, and even on the motorway it is very pleasant at a steady speed. A different car and a different pleasure to hear the raspy engine and even revel in it when downshifting at low speed... Thank you Scart and thank you to the installer Christophe. Read more

Finally, the fitting of a valved SCART on my 997 Phase 2. After a month, it's nothing but happiness, the pleasure of having a Porsche with sound again. A deep and raspy sound, a real race engine. Go there without any bad surprises, because the welcome from the team and Martin SCART is not a legend. Well done to you.
First Porsche purchase, a 997 Carrera S Phase 1 with a Scart exhaust with disconnectable valves, pure happiness. I currently own a 997 Carrera 4S PDK Phase 2 with the same exhaust, a bewitching sound. The flat 6 already has a sound recognisable among so many others, but here it's metamorphosed, especially when you drive with the windows down on small village roads lined with houses, the lingering echo is diabolical and it isn't deafening in the cabin. On top of that, Martin Scart is very responsive (email sent, answer within the hour). PURE HAPPINESS, KEEP IT UP AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR WHAT YOU BRING US Read more

Congratulations on the installation of the famous Scart valved system + PSE button + air filter, the result is really good but it is nothing compared to the pleasure of being welcomed by a team of enthusiasts. Workshop tour, following all the stages of removal + refitting + test drive....
I've just had a valved exhaust fitted to my 997 4S Cab Phase 2 at Martin Scart's, when I had a PSE. I got back a new car with a wonderfully explosive sound while keeping the function of the PSE button on the dashboard. I'm really delighted with the result, especially with the "brushed stainless steel" tailpipes. I arrived on site in the morning in the middle of the team's briefing and after a good coffee I was treated to a tour of the workshops by the wizard Martin Scart himself. The team is very professional and takes real pleasure in explaining the different stages of exhaust manufacturing. The operation lasting about 4 hours, I was able to settle in comfortably to work, and I was alerted by the technician in charge of my car for the key stages of the operation. A real treat to see your car from a new angle. In short, you'll have understood that entrusting your car to Martin Scart guarantees joy and good humour as soon as the PSE button, now magic, is engaged, and especially in Cab mode. A big thank you to the whole team for the work done but also for Martin's kind gesture at the end of the job... Discover it for yourselves! Read more

Fitted what is for me the ultimate SCART equipment for a 997 S Phase 2: catalytic converter headers, valved exhaust and BMC air filter (and matte black tailpipes for the pleasure of the eyes, my S being white and black). With the valves open it's total madness. 105 dB with a sound that goes from low to high notes thanks to the exhaust. Plus a whole range of growls and crackles thanks to the catalytic converter headers! This car is alive, a real animal! I only drive with the windows down and the PDK in manual to practise my scales going up and down the revs. You can play with the sound to make the exhausts explode, and it even treats me to phenomenal, sometimes unexpected, bangs! If you're passionate about car sound you need the full set, it's inimitable! I even out-sound an Aventador. And it stays calm with the valves off for my wife. In short, for enthusiasts I recommend it. A 5000€ investment admittedly but I don't regret my purchase for a second and it makes me even less inclined to switch to another car. Read more

Since buying my Porsche 997 2 years ago, all I was missing was an exhaust worthy of the name. After lots of research on the internet, reviews and videos, my choice quickly settled on M Scart's valved system, combining a "civilized" sound for a bit of discretion and for my wife, and a demonic sound for pure pleasure at startup, on every acceleration, on every downshift... in short, on every use. After talking with you by phone, M Scart, I opted for the sport exhaust button on the dashboard. Once on site, I was offered various "commercial" options; I chose the sport filters and polishing of the exhaust tips for the best effect! After a week and several uses, I am delighted with my Christmas present and can't wait to drive with the top down on sunny days... Read more

For 3 years I've been very happy with the Scart exhaust on my 2010 997 Turbo S Cab. I've just passed the technical inspection without any problem, which reassures me in my choice. The sound is perfect.
The great welcome is not a legend... real exhaust professionals who don't stop at simply fitting their exhaust; perfectionists in their field. I had a valved exhaust installed on my 997 4S 3.8 Ph2. 2 months later, I'm still just as impressed by the sound quality and the grin it gives you with every acceleration; I'm also surprised to sometimes drive with the valves closed, as the sound is very interesting too, with a sound close to the original but more metallic... 2 cars in one; depending on your mood: a GT3 (valves open) or a sporty Carrera (valves closed). A big BRAVO to the whole SCART team Read more

I had an exhaust installed on my 997 because the original sound, even with the PSE, was too weak (a flaw of this model). Now it makes the sound of a Porsche worthy of the name. I'm very satisfied with the team's work because I was able to keep the PSE control button. Without a remote. The managers give very good advice. Good value for money. I highly recommend. Thanks to the whole team!! Chris from Tours Read more

Installation of a 200-cell catalytic converter + valved silencer assembly with switch control, done directly at the SCART company. Wow, for a turbo, it now sends out the watts. Pure happiness. With the valves closed it is almost identical to the original exhaust, but with the valves open it changes everything. A much more raspy sound comes out of the whole system, right from the lowest revs, the low notes are out for the greatest delight of my ears and those of others, but that's not all, it grows in the revs, a real treat. I am really very satisfied with this installation, done with great professionalism. A big thank you to Messrs. SCART and DELMAS for their good advice, as well as to their colleagues for this fine work. It was really worth driving 650 km to have this equipment fitted directly at their place, and above all what a joy to make the return trip with such a sound, great. And to think that I hesitated to do it, now I mostly regret not having done it sooner. Frankly I strongly recommend that you take the plunge, it is really worth investing in this type of installation because you will switch to another world and that is a thrill. Nothing but happiness.

And to think that I hesitated to do it, now I mostly regret not having done it sooner. Frankly I strongly recommend that you take the plunge, it is really worth investing in this type of installation because you will switch to another world and that is a thrill. Nothing but happiness.
Owner of a 997 Phase 2 PDK cabriolet, I felt that the sound of the flat 6 did not bring out the aggressiveness of the engine, which was somewhat stifled by the original exhaust. After adding the "SCART" flap system, the car was transformed by a crackling sound from startup, once warm, and above all in sport mode, lyrical flights to my great delight. Thanks also for the tour of the premises and the kindness of the people who welcomed me. Jr jais Read more

I had an X-pipe, connection box and a Sport air filter fitted last Friday (23rd) and the result is all that I'd hoped for. I wanted to keep the original PSE but improve on it and get rid of the problem of it cutting out. And it makes the difference - I now have a Porsche. If I hadn't had the PSE I wouldn't have thought twice about fitting a complete Scart line .... that'll be for next time! Christophe, who fitted the X and connected up the box, does a really professional job - you have nothing to fear either for your car or for its interior. He's a great guy too! Thanks. Cyrille will give you all the info you need by mail, as he did for me. If you're interested he'll give you a guided tour of the workshop too. They're a great team who love what they do and the end result is perfect. Thanks guys. Emmanuel. Read more

Just to let you know how I got on since having a new voicebox fitted at the SCART workshop. Like many, I'm very disappointed by the Porsche PSE for the 997.2. I already knew about SCART exhausts (I had an Ultima Recital on a 3.6L 996) so naturally I turned to the SCART team for a SCART with valves. The contact was very friendly and then the guided tour of the workshop confirms that you're amongst professionals who are passionate about the work they do and doing it well. Being able to watch the exhaust being fitted with my own eyes with precious tips along the way was an additional bonus!!! And the result .... a massive grin all the way home !!!! It's a huge thrill, a gentle melody, round, more or less boisterous depending on whether the valves are open or closed. I took the option of keeping the original switch on the dashboard - brilliant. Just one last thing - accelerating out of the toll station, pdk mode, in manual, SCART valves open .... devilish !!!! THANK YOU to the whole SCART team - keep up the good work. Read more

After some thought and the sound advice of SCART, I decided to make an appointment for the installation on my 997 Phase 2. Great welcome with a tour of the workshops, you quickly realize you are with passionate professionals. After getting the car back, the result is more than positive, it's no longer the same car, I have a sports car. Thanks again to Cyrille, who gave up some of his rest time to make the car available to me for the holidays. Read more

MKII 997 C4S - exhaust with valves + filter. The welcome and intervention by the team were impecable. The work to connect the valves to the original PSE switch was carried out with great care. It's a great piece of acoustic workmanship and beautifully made. The best of both worlds. Valves closed, the result is subtle with a slightly rounder sound than the original. Valves open at low revs it's a delight, put your foot down and it's bewitching, then when you go through a tunnel ... what can I say ... Wow!! I was worried about having an exhaust that was too noisy, but it isn't. This exhaust does what the original just doesn't do and it's very versatile depending on how and where you drive. Well done!!!

Installation a few weeks ago by DMA in Nanterre (excellent service from Nicolas Brévune) of a SCART sport silencer set with valves and switch control. A substantial investment but justified by the great quality of the installation: sound level with the valves closed almost identical to the stock exhaust, that is to say very discreet, and very beautiful music with the valves open, with a deep sound that noticeably grows toward the higher notes in the revs. No vibration even at constant speed over a long period. Nice work as always with Scart. Thank you Nicolas Read more

An exhaust with valves with a guttural sound in replacement for a PSE. The pleasure of driving has been multiplied several times thanks to its deep, round sound. Nobody can be bothered by the sound when the valves are closed, and then when the valves are open the sound is exceptional. To any of you out there that are still hesitating, hesitate no longer!

Safely back home in Belgium.
What a sound! In manual the exhaust sings non-stop.
Beats the PSE hands down
1/ From the first phone call to SCART until the last handshake to say goodbye after the installation of a valved system, the team was perfect, with everyone's passion taking precedence over commerce. Special mention to Christophe (the installation pro) and Guillaume. 2/ The "before" / "after" is exceptional. I was hesitating, and today I have no regrets. My first 911 finally has the sound that has haunted my imagination forever. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want the details. With pleasure! Read more

A huge thank you to Mr Martin SCART, his sales manager Mr Guillaume BEAUMONT, his team and his mecanic who fitted the exhaust and advised me to replace my original filters and tail-pipes. The result is spectacular with the valves open and discrete with the valves closed. Even with the valves closed the sound is remarkable. The combination XPIPE, VALVES, SPORT AIR FILTERS, MATT BLACK TAIL-PIPES, REMOVAL OF THE SOUND CUT-OFF AT 75 Kms/H, AND CONNECTION TO THE ORIGINAL SWITCH. I have no regrets about the cost as the result is there. Once again thank you to the SCART team. I would recommend this combination to all 997 phase II owners. Read more

Extremely disappointed by the original sound of the standard exhaust on my 997 Phase 2, I quickly decided to have something more "serious" installed. After combing through the forums, the same conclusion keeps coming back: Scart is the best of the best.
I was able to have the famous valved X-Pipe installed near me, at 45-Autosport, with the button cleverly placed in the armrest. When the valves are closed, the sound is very close to stock with just a bit more amplitude. When the valves are open... how can I put it?? It's the apotheosis! A nice raspy sound that gurgles at low revs and a bestial, metallic sound higher in the revs. A massacre !!
I finally have a "real" Porsche, more effective than the most powerful antidepressant!

My GTS Cab was beautiful and powerful but, clearly, despite the original PSE, something was really missing. So I decided to take a day off and make a pilgrimage to Goussainville. Living in the Eure, I found myself in front of the workshop around 9:00 after two hours on the road. I won't talk about the great welcome I received (coffee with the team, a meeting room made available so I could work, smiles all around, enthusiasm over the color of my car, passionate discussions about everything with an engine, etc...), I won't talk about the excellent value for money of the service, and I won't talk either about all the technical skills I met. I'll just say that during the whole drive back, whatever the position of the valves, I smiled like a kid for 150 km while driving and I was proud of my car.... now nothing is missing anymore. I'm waiting for the claim form, because this type of treatment should be reimbursed by social security. Conclusion, don't hesitate for a second !!!!! Read more

After 150 km, I arrive at Goussainville at 8:30 am for the fitting of the SCART system on my 997 Phase II C4S. The mechanic's welcome is cordial and very friendly. He gives me a tour of the workshop as soon as I arrive. At 3:00 pm, it's fitted, a short drive on my usual route and there I finally hear the flat 6 sing at all revs. No more PSE cut-off! And with the valves open, pure happiness... it sings when you accelerate and it's a good compromise, especially with a cabriolet. Thanks to the SCART team (the mechanic and Guillaume) for their friendly, warm welcome and their explanations. Porsche friends, go to SCART!!!!!!! Read more

Hello, unable to go to Goussainville, I undertook the installation of a SCART exhaust on my 997 GT3 (I have a pit). Very easy to fit, less than two hours. Congratulations to the team, in particular to Mr. Beaumont, very available for any information, very "customer attitude", attentive to the customer. My thanks also to the fitter who gave me some valuable advice. For enthusiasts who want to make this swap on a GT3, there is no need to remove the rear bumper skirt, the operation can be done without any problem. I feel like I have changed cars, the sound is fantastic, whether with the valves closed or open. Raspy sound at idle, and lyrical flight in the revs..!!! FABULOUS... A bit of humor.... The little men in blue will hear me coming from afar to get ready to intercept me at 90 km/h... to see the "Beauty" of course, because respect for the rules obliges... And what a product..!!? Superb quality, a real jewel. Thanks again, and I can only encourage future customers who hesitate to take the plunge.... Don't change anything, bravo again to the team. Very cordially, Jean Charles D Read more

A big thanks to Mr Flandin at Swissracing who fitted my SCART exhaust (Valves + X pipe) along with a lighter flywheel and a sport clutch. My 997 4s 2nd generation was transformed after these modifications. The car has become lively and reactive at acceleration. The sound is simply magnificent
Not only does the silencer give me complete satisfaction, but thanks to it I did not sell my GT3, which has soared in value, and above all for the pleasure it gives me in the Corsican mountains where its flat 6 finally resonates. Thank you thank you 😀😀😀😀😀 Joseph
2nd generation 997 fitted with scart with valves and yesterday with Xpipe + bmc filters A unique sound, you'd think you were in a cup, even valves closed it's improved the sound of the exhaust. Don't hesitate it's well worth the price which is reasonable and a work of art signed Martin Scart!
A 911 born voiceless like all Phase II 997s; a quick look around the forums shows you that the only surgeon capable of turning it into a diva is Martin Scart and his staff of enthusiasts. Early morning welcome with the smiles of the whole team; coffee; tour; didactic explanations for the neophyte that I am; at the end of the day a little test drive with the master at the wheel, with a description of the sonic result Read more

I was very frustrated with the sound of my 2nd gen 997 Targa 4s. After a trip to VODIFF (Eric DONART - ex workshop manager with Porsche) I found my vehicle transformed! the sound is really powerful at idle and as soon as the revs rise the cavalry takes off. Sheer pleasure, I can't do without it now!
I didn't have the PSE and the 997.2 are essentially voiceless. Having read loads and loads of feedbacks on various forums, one name kept cropping up: SCART. So I dropped my car off with Mr and Mrs Scart, very pleasant, then the next day I picked up a different car... It now has loads of character, with a full, finely tuned sound. There is absolutely no discomfort when cruising when the valves are either open or closed!! My thanks to all the team!! Read more

Hello, I bought a phase II 997 a little over a month ago and, despite a stock PSE which is fun at first, you quickly feel something is missing... After reading quite a lot of comments on this site, I opted for an X-Pipe system with sport air filters (on M SCART's advice). After a few outings, the pleasure is even greater... What a sound!!! You wouldn't want to stop driving, the noise is so pleasant. A big THANK YOU to Martin SCART for his welcome and availability, and to his whole team. Read more

We've fitted these exhaust on 5 different Porsches, the customers have been very satisfied with the results, on every level the prize goes to the RIVA silencer installed on a 944 SC 3.0L (1982) 10 out of 10 they're like a piece of jewelry, the welding is perfect the stainless steel high quality really great, hand made - I take my hat off to the artists.

Hi I wanted to say a huge thanks to Mr Scart and his team for the sport exhaust system they made and which I have just fitted on my 2nd gen 997, the truth is, the sound given by the original exhaust not being particularly sporty for these cars, I was looking for a good, cost efficient alternative which I found with RS TUBE and which enabled me to retain the original exhaust and yet gave me a really enchanting sound almost the sound of a GT3. Mr Scart will even give you a call over the weekend just to check how you get on with the installation (you do need to be a mechanic to install it) Thank you to Martin Scart and his team Read more

I had the Scart Valved system installed on my 911 Carrera S PDK and, on MS's advice, I took the opportunity to have the tips polished (like new) and the air filters replaced with BMC sport ones. The result is there! I feel like I changed cars: the sound is what you expect from a sports car, going from a deep rasp at idle to something more metallic but still round in the revs, at the limiter it's superb and the gear changes in sport mode become bewitching. But you don't need to go to the limit to enjoy it, as soon as you put it under load something happens!! All this without ever being aggressive in the cabin. Also worth noting that even the sound in valves-closed mode is superb, nothing like before, without acoustic fatigue. Finally I'd add the professionalism and welcome of MS and his team, special mention for Christophe, they are top. It breathes passion, with humility. If you want to relive a new love story with your 911, don't hesitate, pleasure guaranteed! You will finally get to know it.... From the turn of the key you enter another world. Read more

Hi. I have a 2nd generation 997 4s and was pretty disapointed with the sound. So I went along to listen to a GTS fitted with the Porsche PSE and once again I was disappointed with the sound (I wanted to keep with a full Porsche line in order to have an authentic Porsche sound). Quick call to Martin SCART who advised me to try the valve system. I went round to AIX les Milles to hear a 997 4 S, and I decided to go for it. After 2 months running I am just as pleased with the sound (deep and hoarse) and my Porsche friends marvel at it. Thanks to Martin SCART, I congratulate him for his dedication, his skill and his expertise Read more

A pure-bred Manceau, I've been brought up with the sound of cars (24h) and in particular of Porsche. After a humming 964 I have, for 2 years now, a 997 C4S. An easy and pleasing car with PDK... However compared with the PSE woeful and disappointing !!!! So I contacted Martin Scart who took me through what he could do. A discussion which was in-depth and enjoyable and which seemed to amuse him, all of which persuaded me to commit myself to changing the "musical system" of the car: 200 cell Scart sport manifold + X pipe and air sport filters. We kept the original silencers for the valves ! Good grief, how beautiful those Scart parts are, the precision of the fitting, and the perfection of the adjustments. A real artist and not just a mechanic/ pipe-maker .... doubled up with a formidable ear for music. AT LAST THE SOUND...! Plenty, really deep at low revs, rising at mid-revs with fabulous sharps notes. Without any agressivity or ungainly overtones. Martin Scart is the true conductor of an orchestra of mechanical musical instruments which he has created. Congratulations, it's a permenant delight and at last a REAL SOUND which purrs throughout the interior of the car.... Thanks to you Martin Scart and to your team for their top notch expertise. I will also never forget the phone call from Martin one Saturday morning just to see how I my return journey had been... An incredible contact for a quality service and sumptuous result. I take my hat off to the team and to Martin Scart. D.P. Read more

I was thrilled with my 997 GTS Cabriolet, but the original sport exhaust was a real disappointment. It was nothing like the PSE I'd had on my last 997 gen 1, which was great. I wanted an exhaust that gave me a sound, but a genuine flat 6 sound. I hesitated a while and then I went for Martin Scart's system with valves. I also liked the idea of not replacing the whole line but keeping as much as possible to the original. I just had one fear, that there would be enough sound for my taste. The result is surprising !!! I am so pleased, it's a huge bonus. Valves open the sound is fantastic, I hadn't expected that, it's well over and above my expectations. The sound is cavernous, powerful.... At full throttle its bestial and at low revs it purrs. The added benefit of the valves, which is really good, is that you can be really discreet if you need to be. The remote control is good quality. To sum up, the contact, the welcome and the workmanship were perfect Read more

Fitted by a expert who knows his job. The sound is magic with the sport exhaust and discreet when the valves are closed; A pure joy
