Installed Fister Turbo mufflers today; incredible!

I installed Fister Turbo exhaust on my 993TT today. I also installed black wide oval tips from FDM.
This is my 4th 993, and have had a few Fister II, III (2), and Turbo (2). The first time you start the car to hear that rumbling growl, is a huge thrill.
These latest ones seem to have an extra kick to them, and a welcome one at that. I am posting a videos of before and after.
Not easy to tell since your sitting at idle in the garage. Best way to show is to mount a camera at the back of the car to catch that linear growl through the gears.

Lots of fun and thanks again Darin! BTW, I dig the FISTER brand stamp on the muffler.
Cheers,
Tony

Car is incredible, and really enjoying that power more second time around.
Drive the 993TT in a parking garage last night, and the sounds were intoxicating.
You have mastered your craft, its gets better each time.

+1 on the Fister Turbo cans
When I bought the car, the PO had initially put FS Supercups on, then decided they were too loud, asked for the stock cans back but they had already been recycled. So FS built a pair of "stock-like" cans for him, which were easily as quiet or quieter than stock. In other words, too quiet for me.
So I went back to FS and had them put on the catback bypasses. Plenty loud! But there was a definite drone at idle, also a bit monotonic for my liking (all baritone, no tenor), and to be honest just a bit on the loud side for my otherwise quiet neighborhood.
So I sent the cans to Darin and now they are perfect for me. Right in-between volume-wise, no drone, nice basso growl under acceleration, burbles pleasantly on decel, with a few discrete pops when blipping the throttle at a standstill.
Darin was a pleasure to do business with: quick to provide info on the front end, did the work promptly, with nice fit and finish, and sent the modded cans back promptly and well-packed for shipping.
To each their own, I guess, when it comes to what you want your car to sound like, but Fister gets my vote.

Knight, we'll have to get together to compare systems. I have Fabspeed bypasses - a bit of drone top gear at 70-80 mph which tends to make me gear down after a while. It's ok out in the countryside but probably going to be a bit much when we relocate to Vancouver and twiddling around town most of time. I might put Fisters on next yr.
Cheers

Mark wont make it - but i have been in both of your cars, and the bypasses are a bit too much for me. As mark says, he is moving down to vancouver and he will be triggering car alarms all over the place...

Thanks for posting the pre/post video, very helpful. I've been considering such a modification for some time but could never sample a before and after scenario.
I'm not concerned about their impact on peformance but do they get louder over time?
