I am looking for a new exhaust system for my 97 951. Any ideas as to which exhaust system has a nice performance sound (not too load - primarily street car) and increases performance? What is everyone's preference?

Please post your opinions.

I would say 3" with a magnaflow muffler - thats what I have and I like it. Not a big fan of the flowmasters, and I haven't heard a borla xr-1 in person

I've got a 3", no cat & a Borla XR-1...I really like the sound. If I were doing it again...I do it again.

i've got a 3 inch test and an sfr cat-back. sounds nice no droning deep pitch at idle and sounds good wide open

I have a rather stock exhaust with a Dynomax Magnum Bullet muffler welded in place of the stock one. I love the sound! Not to ricy, deep idle. I'm installing my catbypass this weekend and can't wait to hear how it sounds.

i've had this setup too, sounds very nice.

We need to archive some sound clips for people to reference

I have a 3" exhaust from Lindsey with a flowmaster 40 muffler.
The FM40 has a very ricy sound, not the low rumble I wanted. It sounds fabulous at 4500rpm+ WOT, but it does get tiresom at longer drives.
I'm replacing the FM40 with a Borla XR-1 as the FM40 does not pass the noise restrictions set by the EU.
103dB@4800rpm is 8dB more than stock and 3dB over the limit.

2.5 testpipe witha 3" SFR catback. Its loud but sounds deep and throaty. I love it.

Thanks Guys.

Does anyone have a sound clip of the Borla XR-1 full exhaust?

I just had a 2.5" system with hi flow cat and magnaflow put on. I love it. Throaty but quiet sounding. Didn't notice any difference either putting a cat on as opposed to the test pipe in everyday driving.

I do know I'm not going to get a $2500 ticket for not having a cat though.

I have a full 3 inch SFR system on my car and love the sound, its deep and really not all that loud.

If someone can host the file or whatever I would be willing to make a quick movie clip of the car at startup and some revs.
