yea...+993 on the warm restart! Just too sweet to describe.

Stage lll fan here, idle, run up thru the gears, WOT, even cruising. Just too many rpm sweet spots to describe.

I'm not an exhaust fan, but I've been thinking... (no I do not fall to peer pressure... much).
Tried the RSRs first. Nice sound, mild increase in noise but modest drone around 2600-2800 inside the cab and after a couple of weeks returned them. Next came the Stage Is. Similar to the RSRs but slightly more aggressive, a little throatier but no drone, very satisfied with them, had them for about a year and a half then decided I wanted to go more aggressive and finally went for the Stage IIIs. There's loads of feedback on these mufflers. They are slightly more aggressive than I think I wanted and in hind sight might have been happier with the Stage IIs. Just the slightest bit of drone, it is minimal. I like that they are the lightest of the bunch and they certainly have an authoritative bark.

I just had my stock exhaust modified by Darin with a Fister Stage ll set up and I couldn't be happier with the results. It sounds fantastic and zero drone inside the car. One of those few mods where you love it right away.

To OP, let us know where you are, and I'm pretty sure you can find a Rennlister nearby with one of Fister's mufflers - listening to sound clips on the net just don't do the mufflers justice. Listen to them yourself if possible, and you'll be the judge of which muffler sounds the best to you.

If you've been counting the votes, I think it's something like Fister - 993, and Fabspeed - 0

There is a special version available for the 993 Turbo. I have them on mine. Much better sound than my previous Cargraphic mufflers. No affiliation, I'm just a very happy customer.

YMMV, but they decrease my gas mileage by inviting more spirited driving.

I know a guy who had Fabspeeds on his C4S. Drove with earplugs.

I love my Fister Stage IIIs.
