yeah there are a few uK outlets for various sports exhausts...but are they same quality as Fabspeed? both in terms of build and sound.
Is the resonance factor a big issue for 911 aftermarket exhausts? seen it mentioned often.

Another recommended Uk outlet is Hayward & Scott, but not heard a car fitted with their system yet.

My big fear is opening the proverbial can of worms and finding out other exhaust parts need replacing when i try to get this new stuff fitted.

I did the Borla exhaust with SSI's and a chip. The car sounds incredible. The fabspeed sounds good..but the borla sounds mean

Ric, we need a picture of that setup! I heard the Borlas were loud, but they look fantastic.

Hi Rusnak,

I will try and get a picture. I have had this setup for about 15 years now. Its a great setup and sounds fantastic. I chose Borla because they have always backed up there mufflers when there was an issue. I had to rely on that million mile warranty 1 time on another car...they overnighted me the pipe fixed. Great service. The SSI's are a work of art plain and simple.

Ricster, which Borla part number did you use?

Thanks,

Hi

I backdated my 3.2 exhaust to a straight through system (like an early exhaust system, heat exchangers straight to backbox) from M&K and had it sent to the UK. Took two days to ship and get to London, then spent 7 days with Royal Mail (Another long story). It's a very noisey (108db reading for noise test). But, it sounds race-car awesome. All-up, buying and getting to the Uk, fitting, I spent about 1800 pounds. Pricey but worth every penny.

Fitting heating pipes if you still want a heater is a headache.
