Default Throaty exhaust

Wondering opinions on the deepest growling exhaust out there.... I have a cargraphic exhaust, but just want a deeper growl.
I heard the the protomotive yesterday I liked it a lot, but sound like a lot of work to get it done, ie putting 963 heat exchanger etc. Anyone have any thoughts or preferences....???

Should I be looking at some bypass pipes or different cats? I do want tuned throaty exhaust not just loud!!! Make sense?

My log GMG world challenge on my GT2 was awesome sounding for a turbo.!

Thanks in advance

Matt

Cat bypass pipes and a titamium exhaust will give you a deeper growl. The resonance of titanium vs stainless steel is very different

I have FDM muffler and it's great. However, I too want more. I'll eventually add a 200 cell cat. Here is a link their web page with a you-tube link with a sound clip of it;

Try the bypass pipes and see how u like them. I like the sound myself and weight saving is a bonus. With the muffler out of the way car's easier to work on as well.

side note: it does set off car alarms in parking structures though.

I am looking for the same thing, a different exhaust note. Muffler bypass pipes might be a little much but still a possibility. Has anybody tried or heard Fabspeed's 993tt maxflo "supercup" muffler. Seems like a good balance between basic muffler and muffler bypass.

I have the Fabspeed maxflow system and cats installed - sounds great but you must like loud. A bit of a drone in the cabin - so dont get it if you like listening to the radio - but if you like listening to the engine - GREAT!

I have Protomotive on my car for 3yrs now and never get tired of it. Not only that is sounds great but the whole system flows very well.
