I've heard every exhaust side by side and I'm sooo glad I bought the GHL mufflers. To me it's the best sounding exhaust AND almost everyone that has heard it tells me they like it.

Zero resonance inside the cab and sounds stock when you're not getting on it. With WOT it sounds, oh so sweet!!

that is actually a reasonable recording of the Fabspeeds like on my 996, its purely personal taste what you like

I think it sounds more like a classic american muscle car sound and you lose the tightness of the finely tuned sound of the german flat 6

horses for courses

If your car sounds like this with the fabspeed, then I am glad that I ordered mine.

anyone that has heard or tried any of the other exhausts, i don't think one can debate the awesome sound the fabspeed muffler bypass makes when the car is started up... it just puts a smile on my face every time.. (and scares the living sh*t out of anyone in the parking garage next to me)

for all that have the fabspeed muffler bypass and have started the car in a parking garage, you all know what i'm talking about.. no exhaust, pse, ghl or whatever can even compare

it's all worth it, just for the sound it makes upon startup... everywhere you go, at the gas station or at the store.. it just screams "don't mess with me, i'm a porsche, and i'm not stock.."

We'll have to meet for coffee so I can hear what it sounds like.
