I have full Fabspeed, (header, muffs, and cats) and it sounds awesome without being overbearing. Never heard it from the outside, but guys tell me it's not THAT loud. One of these days I'll get someone to drive my car so that I can listen to it.

If you want loud, but glorious, BPPs is where its at; wouldn't recommend for DD though; I think you would tire of it.

A few quick vids of mine installed


I am now running the GMW WC setup (link) so i could run the stock tips. However, there is now this setup (link) for BPPs with stock tips that I might consider, just because every time I hear 6-3 with BPPs, I really miss it.

Those BPPs do sound sick but you're probably right about tiring of the sound for DD use. I'm really jealous that you have the GMG mufflers, that looks beautiful and supposedly sounds great. Do you have any sound clips of those mufflers installed? I talked to Fabryce and he doesn't think there is any power gained with the mufflers, just the better sound and weight loss. He seems to think all of the power is in the mid cat section. I would love to have the full GMG (cat and muffler sections) or Europipe systems, but the cost is a bit prohibitive ...

Unfortunately I don't have any GMG sound clips like those I posted, but I do have some from inside the car at the track, but they are a little muffled by wind noise.

Ill try and shoot some video of the sound of the GMG sport side mufflers and hi-flow 200 cell sport cats center X pipe section that utilizes stock tips on my GMG WC 996GT3. I really like the sound of the system, and dont mind it at all for the street.

These X pipes make the cars sound PERFECT, in my opioion. Bought one for myself for the future 997 GT3.

*Contact me for the RSS x-pipe, you WILL be GLAD you did....* 997 only -

Do you have the Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust or the Supercup exhaust ?

Don't know, but I have a jack and a flashlight so we can look tomorrow.

Putting the Hoosiers in the truck in a minute... cause you never know

So it's probably a Maxflo, because it's not "freaking loud"

I think it's time to retire the Sport Cups so good move to bring the Hoosiers. Should be fun...

Yeah, I know what you think... "resistance is futile".

They are loaded. Will do first session with the Cups to see how they feel, and go from there.

Funny how rattles come and go on my car. Much quieter since my new alignment and corner balance.
Maybe just coincidence.
