I’ve heard questionable things about Fabspeed quality recently, including rust and sloppy heat shield application over the OAPs. That said, I think it’s the best sounding system to my ear so far. Will either go this direction or BC Fabs (very high-quality).

Why would someone want the 9k rpm engine if they want a beefy sound? Get a v8 dude!

I'm the 4RS in the video above and installed one of the first Fabspeed OAP + rear sections basically in America. 0 issues with my OAP's and rear exhaust after them being on the car for almost a year. For the 4RS specifically Fabspeed bought a 4RS(still owns it) so they did a large amount of testing(they told me at least a half dozen versions trying to figure out the right resonator/hemholdz chamber size so it wouldn't have crazy drone like some of the other 4RS exhausts that don't have hemholz/resonators while also having that high pitch sound we want) which not many brands can say they did for the 4RS except JCR(also still owns a car). I think for the 4RS they also know how hard the cars will be driven so they've stepped up quality control(a few friends in SoCal are running Fabspeed on the 4RS after hearing mine with no issues as well).

I've watched some YouTube videos of different exhausts but that's pretty tough to distinguish the true sound. I'm surprised after this many year of production there aren't more videos frankly or a true "winner" in sound like there is on the 911 side. Most over there seem to choose Dundon for power and deep sound and JCR for that high pitched wail. I'm hoping just doing the OAP will give me a deeper sound but would love some input. I don't plan on doing Headers on this car due to the warranty issues but figure the best sound probably comes from headers and moving the cat downstream like Dundon and Soul do.

I know people HATE exhaust discussion threads and feel free to tell me to F off and I'll have the admins close the thread

However, if you've got ideas about making the sound beefy and not just high pitched, without overwhelming the intake gloriousness i''m all ears....
typically sport cats will give you a deeper exhaust tone, with more noise, not sure if any exist for this platform that won't run a check engine light but anyway

Both Soul and Dundon bought a 4RS for testing.

I have the Fabspeed back box installed on my 4RS. Only the backbox with everything else being OEM.

The overall tone has changed and it has more of that signature gt3 sound which the 4RS lacks in the factory setup. There is no impact on the induction sound inside the cabin. The intake sound is still as prominent as ever. I wanted to run this setup and if I do get bored of it, the next step is to go OAPs.

The build quality of the Fabspeed exhaust is top notch. Packaging was also very impressive to keep it safe during transport. I reused my WP tips so it all looks OEM but with a nicer tone
