Aftermarket Exhaust
I'm curious what aftermarket exhaust systems that are reccommend by ya'll for a 1987 951. The car looks fast, is fast, but needs to sound fast and sexy too. The stock setup just doesn't do it for me.

Speed Force Racing makes a great stainless steel exahust. I had no fitment issues with mine, 3 inch all the way back with 4.5 inch tip. Also has a swappable cat for a test pipe.

My SFR is a POS. And they don't believe in customer service after the sale. ****ty exhaust from a ****ty company. The kicker? They don't make it - Fabspeed does. But that isn't an excuse for SFR.
I'm guessing that by "needs to sound fast and sexy" you mean loud.

+ 1 and sounds awesome. Perhaps SFR let their quality slip by cutting corners more recently?

People have recently been having trouble with SFR products. However, the previous quality I knew of was excellent. It's far superior quality and material over the Lindsey exhaust. You get what you pay for. I would look at getting a Fabspeed unit if possible.

I have a lindsey exhaust and works ok. Sounds great and does its job. Some fittment issues, however overall nice unit. I would love to upgrade to a stainless unit some day.

My car came with a Fabspeed 3''. I actually visited them in person to make sure it was original (not a knock off) and bought a cat from them (I had the straight pipe). Also got an RL discount (or PCA, I forget, I mentioned both).
That's my car in the 951 Demo video, though the person who made the video put 996 or something odd over it, ha. I think it sounds fine, I'm not a big exhaust guy (doesn't bother me in the car), but at the last DE I had a Boxster Spyder tell me my car sounded awesome... ?
