I have the 2.5 X-cellerator muffler with the 2.5 SE tips. Awesome sound.

Also have Speedtech 2.5 "quiet" exhaust. I was disappointed at first until I had my buddy do a drive by. It's certainly not quiet when standing outside when the engine is in the upper revs so don't let the inside the cabin sound fool you .

Which cats do you have? I have the 100 cel cats and it's "just loud enough".

Yep 100 cell cats . I run w fellas that have NA engines w secondary mufflers removed so I'm the shy quiet one. Since I use the car for long distance I find the cabin noise at the sweet spot of tolerable/noisy .

Anyone on here have a Unobtainium Welding system? Curious what you all think as it's a 3" system that's supposed to completely eliminate drone due to the helmholtz resonators.

I've had an Unobtainium Welding exhaust for 6 years now, and it's fantastic. As 32krazy! mentioned, build quality is exceptional. The sound can be tailored to your preference with a combination of mufflers, tips, and cats, but the x-pipe design sounds awesome in general.

The helmholtz resonators really do work to eliminate the drone. I've had my exhaust both with and without the helmholtz resonators so I was able to experience the drone and the lack of drone on the exhaust same system. I have a write-up on 6speed outlining the before and after the helmholtz resonator addition.

What do you like about it ?

Considering this system, watched the youtube videos, certainly sounds great. Curious what others think about Soul for their 996 TT...
