Question X-Pipe exhaust for 987.2

Hey all,
I'm looking to buy X-Pipe and tips for my 987.2 and am wondering if anyone knows what would be the best place to purchase new. I see lots of places offering them, various brands, for the same price. Does anyone have an "in" on a discount code or Rennelist discount? Soul, Fabspeed, etc... I would love to find some used ones but I'm not seeing any around so I'm looking for the best place to buy new.

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with Fabspeed.

I had BC Dream2 and they were great too - definitely a bit more sound and bit more engine poke.

I ended up going with the Fabspeed X-Pipe. I will be posting some comparisons to OEM when I get it installed later this week.

Fabspeed True X-pipe
"7-8hp guaranteed" solely from changing to these X pipes?

Well I will have mine installed by Friday so I'll give my 2 cents. I won't be doing any dyno stuff but if I feel any added pep, I'll let you all know. I'd say it would take at least 7-8 HP increase for the butt dyno to notice any difference at all so if I feel something I didn't before, maybe 7-8 gain is true.

Got the Fabspeed X-Pipe installed today. Right away I notice a difference in the sound. I nice low growl and a deeper idle and low rev. More of a change than I expected. Granted, I have the Carnewal GT exhaust so I don't know what it does to stock mufflers. I feel like there is a difference in the feel of the car. It doesn't feel more powerful but it feels smoother acceleration through the lower RPMs.
Now let's talk about the looks.... WOW!! What an improvement over the ugly alien head tip. Looks more like a sports car should. Porsche has to be regretting this design. It's the single flaw in the 987.2 styling.
I'm a believer and it's definitely worth the price. ​​​​​​I'm making a before/after sound comparison as we speak. No doubt the exhaust note will improve with some miles added so I will post in updated video after 500 miles.
