e46 M3 owner...for now

just bought an '02 C4S from a friend. He had muffler bypass
set up (just pipes coming from cat to the tip). Its great but too
damn loud. conversely, i think that stock is too quiet.

does anyone have any suggestions on something in between?
something that won't be so extreme?I typically love loud, but this
is going to get me in trouble.

Fabspeed? Porsche sport exhaust? I don't really know who sells what
on the Porsche side of things...

thanks in advance...

I have the Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE as we call it) and it makes the car sound infinitely better, but does not add much HP. It's a worthwhile option IMO, but not cheap.

Much as I'd love to get into this again, there are already a TON of posts on the subject. Just do a search with keyword "exhaust".

GHL, just put one on my C4S last weekend. Sounds just right and its on sale until the end of the month.... check the GHL sticky at the top of the page.

I see your message is a bit dated, and am not familiar with GHL. Any additional id info is appreciated. thanks

PSE sounds awesome and no drone. It'll cost $5000 new (price hike).

I have the Tubi and it sounds more Italian, but still flat6, no drone. It's the only aftermarket exhaust that sounds good in my ears. Quality construction. Pricey at around $3500.

really... only 6 years old... I am sure it right on the tip of the tongue for most of us...

I have fabspeed exhaust on my c4S. Its better than stock but its not in your face loud like muff by-pass.
Nice wail to it from 3500 rpm onwards.

Fister D Mark II . Great sound, Great Price...

+1 for the Fister D

Optical TDI

I almost did the fister D. But I found Fabspeed for $550 shipped a couple of months ago, otherwise it would have been the fister product. The Fabs are great, but I would like them to be just a bit louder.

I like the fabspeed setup,headers, mufflers.....it screeams after 3500...

If you can swing it, PSE is the way to go.

yeah.... $5k, thats 25% of what the car is worth. Porsche has no shame.... it does sound sweet though.
