I just had the Fabspeed headers and 200 cell cats installed on my GTS and I like them a lot. Nice increase in throttle response and the PSE now has an effect on performance, which is fun.
Considering the Akra in addition because, like, I'm just really fussy about throttle response. I have a full Akra system on my bike and the difference in sharpness is extraordinary.
That said, the combo of Fabspeed + PSE does sound good. Mournful is the word I would use. Perhaps it is crying about the extinction of its naturally aspirated brothers...

Ive not been a fan of Fabspeed's products since the late 90's and a very poor
experience with their 964 RS exhaust product and subseqeuent "customer service" ...
maybe they are a better/different company now ... but they will never earn my
business again ... they couldn't give me their products
YMMV

If, (big "if" again) you believe the claims, the torque increase is more impressive than the hp bump, and probably more useable in every day driving.

I think its the "canny Scot" in me but the answer is "it depends" ...
no doubt the Akrapovic is a GREAT system but to me $9xxx retail is too rich for
an exhaust swap, even with some promised perf gains, even the tubi at $45xx
is a little steep, AWE seems like a good deal, but w/o hearing it next to PSE "in
person" I dont know if the delta is worth it... the PSE sounds pretty damn good to start with...

Well, a GTS is 430. If (that's a BIG "if") you believe the claim, 430 + 18 = 448 HP/ A GT3 is at 475 HP. So, it depends how you define "getting close".
If, (big "if" again) you believe the claims, the torque increase is more impressive than the hp bump, and probably more useable in every day driving.
