Headers + cats 200cc
These headers / 200 cell sport cats fit:
> All the 997 2nd generation including the GTS
A catalytic converter works on the principle of creating sufficient heat within the exhaust for it to work like an oven. This sets the catalysers to work to "clean" the exhaust gases before releasing them into the environment. Since the 1st generation 987 and this 2nd generation 997, the cats have moved further up the exhaust line to have more heat. The headers and cats come in one piece per bank of 3 cylinders. So one pair per car. Originally on the 2nd generation 997 there were 2 cats on each side. Our version improves both the flow through the headers, and the performance of the cats. One of the results of this is an improvement in the sound. Of all the cars in the history of Porsche, this one makes the least sound, which is a shame as the sound it makes is fabulous. If you fit these headers/cats along with our system with valves, you will have a beautiful sound with the valves closed that will suit all driving situations. With the valves open, you will have a car with a sound verging on racing when you accelerate. This is the most beautiful of the air-cooled Porsche, but that's just my opinion! Read on and you'll see what fellow Porschists, who have already taken the plunge, have to say about this exhaust.
Our range also includes:
> A standard 400 cell catalysed version - (Reference : SCA 997-2 1 1) to order
Our exhausts all fit onto the original interfaces. By this we mean their entry, their outlet and their size are the same as those of the original part. They can therefore be fitted in replacement of the original part without requiring any modification.
These cats fit under the car between the engine and the transverse muffler. We recommend that you unplug the 2 Lambda probes before dismantling the cats, then remove them once the cats are no longer fitted to the car.
On average, it should take about 3 hours to fit them including the time taken to dismount the original exhaust. It will be faster if the exhaust you're removing is in good condition, just as it may take longer if the reverse is true.
You will need a car hoist for the job. It isn't easy to retrieve the Lambda probes so be prepared to buy new ones or have some already to hand.
Remember that the bolts must always be tightened progressively across the entire set of bolts.
To ensure that our exhausts are fitted under the best conditions, a mounting kit containing: gaskets, stainless steel bolts, stainless steel lock nuts and high temperature copper grease, is included with your exhaust.

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

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!

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!!

Hi, I bought a 2nd gen 997 just over a month ago and inspite of the original PSE which is fun to start with, but you rapidly get the feeling that there's something missing... Having read a fair number of remarks on the website, I chose the system with the X-Pipe and sport air filters (following Mr SCART's advice). After several journeys, the pleasure is greater each time... What a sound!!! You just can't tire of it!

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.
Installed on: 997 TARGA 4S 996 TURBO CAB 996 TURBO 964 CARERRA 4 911 SC 3.0L 997 TARGA 4 Feu Vert in Orange (84)

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

I had a Scart with valves line fitted on my 911 carrera S PDK, upon MS's advice I made the most of the opportunity to have the tail-pipes polished (came out like new), and replaced the air filters with the BMC sport version. The result was obvious! I have a new car the sound is what you'd expect from a sports car, it goes from a deep husky sound at first to a more metallic yet still rounded sound at speed, as soon as you put your foot down something happens!! Meanwhile inside the car you never feel bothered by the sound.

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

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.

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
