I bought a fabspeed muffler system for my 996

What are these supposed to sound like? Mine sounds like a ricer honda civic!!!

I bought it on the back of many positive reviews on this and other boards

It does not really sound much like the video they have on their website

seriously, the resonance in the cabin makes the center console and some window trim vibrate - its getting on my nerves

Also, I really like the mechanical sound of the flat six - now it sounds like it could be some generic 4 cylinder...

couple of questions:

what does a gt2 come with as standard?
how different is the PSE to the fabspeed product?
are there any exhausts which have a more mechanical bark sound to them (like the gt2 i head once or a F-355?)

are my thoughts common or am i just being a bit gay?

You need to join Rennlist and buy GHL mufflers. They sponser our board. Contact Eli at Pelican 888.280.7799

that sounds fine but what do they sound like?

i don't need to throw even more money away by installing another exhuast system which makes my car sound worse than stock

comments on the sound of GHL and PSE greatly apprecaited

SYMA

Do a search using "GHL". I believe there are sound clips.

haven't heard the ghl but the pse is by far the best sounding exhaust for the 996 that i have heard, but it is a little pricey. if you can get a deal on it buy it.

get the fabspeed bypass pipes you'll be hearing pure unadulterated engine

GHL quiet, slt louder than stock<3500rpm, sounds like a cup car whhen you're into it, zero resonance. Listen to mine if you're around nyc.

brandywine have it for 1500 - yes its 500 more than the fabspeed, but if it sounds better then its a good option.

does the GT2 come with pse as standard?

Moogle

no, the GT2/3/Turbo come with 'sport' mufflers that are different from the both the stock 996 and the PSE sport exhaust.

I'll take them off your hands, PM me when your ready.

Mr. C4

Don't even compare a GT2 and Ferrari 355 with a standard 996, since there is nothing in common with the three engines.

I have the PSE and bot the bullet and paid $1500 and installed myself--I like it but im wondering how the bypass pipes sound--just straight from engine to cats to the air we breathe!!! Anyone around NJ have it so I can listen??? Mike

thats a stupid response

well for a start they all run on petrol rather than diesel

both the GT2 and 996 engine are flat sixes

all i want is a more agressive flat six sound rather than what sounds like I've drilled holes in the muffler

I had Fabspeed exhaust on my 996 C2 and did not think it sounded ricey at all. I described the Fabspeeds as deep and throaty with no interior resonance. By comparison the PSE is more raspy sounding. Neither system sounded "ricey" to me. Perhaps something was not hooked up or tightened down correctly.

P-Car fanatic

I'm considering that possibility too

with the PSE rasp - can you hear the engine itself?
