What are you trying to accomplish? It sounds like you are happy with the sharkwerks set up. I had a Fister on a 993 I had and it sounded fantastic but I've never heard their set on a 997 or 991.

I am definitely happy, but more volume would be nice. I just don’t want it obnoxious or to have any drone. Appreciate it!
I had fisters with an AWE x-pipe on my first 991 base w/o PSE. I really liked the sound. I started out with the Fister's first but it wasn't enough volume. I added the x-pipe later and it was perfect IMO. All subjective obviously but worth it IMO.

Would love to hear your car. I also have a 991.1 base without PSE.
Would like to hear the car with the engine hot, in a open space, similar to the video the OP posted.
Cold engines dump a lot of gas in the cats, trying to warm them, and people who do videos in garage/closed space results in a louder car than you hear in the open.
I did the sharkwerks Xpipe and it came right off - I liked the louder sound but I hated the extra audible "snap crackle pops".
Later I did the Fister and I like it very much, added some bass and anger at idle and low speeds, kinda like a loudness button, but did not exagerate the snap-crackle pops like an xpipe, nor is it droning... Good enough for me...
Honestly I am not sure what combining them both would be like, as it seems to me they do more or less the same thing with small variations in intensity - you already have the louder option of the 2, so I'd explore something else... but I never tried combining so what do I know ;-)
PS: nothing but good things to say about Fister customer service, delivery, work, packaging, etc..

that car is long gone and I didn’t take a vid when I had it. Just try them they’re cheap enough when it comes to Porsche. If you don’t like it I’m sure you can sell them on here. But I think you’ll like it.
On my 991.1 3.4L no PSE, i have AWE xpipe and Gundo/Fisker like hacked mufflers. The sound is absolutely intoxicating, the crackle and pop sounded like thunder even in normal mode letting off gas at 4k rpm. Under an overpass at full throttle sounded like a Lambo.
But for daily was a touch too much. I had HHR fabricate a set of small resonators that i popped in place of the small 9 inch pipe that AWE has on there. Found smallest resonators i could and sent directly to hank. Took some measurements and had him fab the pipes on each end of the resonators to fit over existing. But if you have a local shop thats good with exhaust just take it there. With resonators it delivered just the right amount of reduction for the car to be perfect for daily. Less crackle and pop but overall allot more comfortable for daily use.
Even with resonators sounds allot better than Xpipe alone. the mufflers gave it a low deeper tone that i like. Xpipe alone was too raspy for my taste.

@malahhaor - I'm assuming it was the combination of the xpipe and the mufflers that made it a bit too much for daily, correct? Assuming the Fister's on their own were fine for daily in your opinion.

my 997.2 C2S has Sharkwerks X pipe and fisher-D. It’s decently loud and have burbles. I don’t have problems with the sound level, but for my 991, I might want a level or two lower.
I have the AWE Switchpath exaust. It was highly recommended if you have the PSE button. It's almost stock sound (little more rumble and pops than stock but nothing too noticeable at all with old man driving), completely drone free in normal mode. Put it in sport, open those valves with the PSE button, and you have a completely different beast. It'll bypass the side mufflers and sounds incredible, especially when letting off the gas.
I have just the Fister mufflers on my C4 (first link you quoted). I wanted a little more depth to the NA motor, thats exactly what it achieved. It's not much louder inside the cabin, but quite a bit deeper and more pronounced from the outside. I have heard them paired with an x-pipe which also sounds amazing - but without having PSE and an exhaust button, I found it a bit loud for daily duties in quiet neighborhoods when I go to visit clients.
I have a few other cars, mostly AMG's. The V8 note and rumble from those with the performance exhaust is enough to keep me happy when I want to make some noise

Exhaust: To Fister, or not to Fister?
but overall allot more comfortable for daily use.
