Best headers / exhaust combination

I have a set of GHL headers / exhaust on our car. These were installed on the car when we brought her home. Subjectively, the car sounds a bit anemic by modern standards and it may be that I've grown accustomed to higher revving motors, but I wanted to know if there is a system(s) that people recommend. Also any appreciable performance gains apart from sound? Thanks.

OP, your username is familiar to me. You wouldn't happen to have been in the GM / LS world in a past life?

Scott from Fabspeed here. Our RSR header muffler kit, is a great option for your 964 Air Cooled if you are looking to upgrade the power, exhaust note, and throttle response of your Carrera. Our systems are hand welded here in the states, and have been a center piece of what Fabspeed represents for many years. We developed these headers almost 30 years ago, in efforts to wake up the older Carrera's with bolt on system that wont trigger lights. Check out some of the features of this system and feel free to reach out for forum pricing.

Fabspeed’s exhaust is junk. If you’ve got the money for theirs, then you should be able to spend an extra grand and buy the best that’s made buy M&M in Germany and used by the factory race teams.
Segmented Welded, not mandrel bent. Best money can buy.
”Our primary tubing is segmented and welded under pressure with the use of forming gas. Forming gas actually pressurizes the area being welded to create a smooth inner surface. This means that material walls in the bend are consistent and strong, ensuring reliability. But we don’t stop there, once the segmenting is completed, a tool is passed inside the header, which will actually grinds away any left-over slag. This process produces extremely durable headers with superior strength that ensures higher gas velocity and less exhaust gas restriction.”
