Kab,

Here is a link to the full sound video, including idle, windows up, windows down, pass by, take off, dyno, etc. - it takes a little bit of time to load...

SpeedTech Exhaust Sound Video

If 2K - 2.5K rpm is where the exhaust is loudest, that RPM band is highway speed in 5th in the tiptronic, so I'd be interested to hear from tiptronic users of the exhaust how it sounds at highway cruise speed.

Dean,

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Carl from Austin, TX wrote in to our testimonials web page http://www.speedtechexhausts.com/page4.html and had the following comments - he has a tiptronic transmission

- John,

I just wanted to drop you a few lines to share my impressions of your exhaust. As you may remember, I have a 2001 996 Twin Turbo. My car has been UMW flashed, K&N filter, Forge Diverters and now your SpeedTech exhaust system.

I have to say that prior to owning my 996TT, I have owned 2 Dodge Vipers and after changing their exhaust systems several times, I never really got the desired sound... therefore, I was VERY hesitant to change my 996TT exhaust due to the high cost and fear of a getting a loud & raspy system.

Thank you for the time spent settling my nerves. I have to say that for me, I think that your system is perfect for my 996TT, especially at WOT. The stock exhaust was too quiet, however, now, my car sounds like a Porsche 996TT should sound... not too loud at WOT and not too quiet around town...

Thanks again,
Carl (Austin TX) -TIPTRONIC TRANSMISSION

I hope I didn't give the wrong impression. It's not overly loud at all. I was at a Porsche meet this past weekend, and every exhaust there was much louder than mine (2,000 rpms or otherwise). It's a bit louder than elsewhere in the band, but that's not to say that it's overly loud or obnoxious at the 2k-2.5k band. I just try and stay out of it when my overly sensitive to sound wife is in the car so she doesn't get worked up.
