Default HELP Need Opinion on Exhaust!!

Which do you guys like best:

Fabspeed 996TT/GT2 Supersport X-Pipe with X-50 Tips $3,695
Scroll down in the link to above discription

http://www.fabspeed.com/996TT_X50_GT2.html


or...



GMG GMG WC Exhaust Series

http://www.gmgracing.com/porsche_exh...t997tips.shtml

Maybe...

Speedtech

http://www.speedtechexhausts.com/page34.html





I am torn gmg seems higher quality...but fabspeed sounds great..like X50 tips..and cheaper.



I currently have RUF R Turbo 550 with Tune. turbos, intake exhaust etc...just want to change the sound a bit more aggresive and hear those turbos. Ill keep RUF exhaust for when I sell....and I really hope I dont lose power or get a CEL



thanks guys for your input

I was waiting for an EP2Q to show up and nothing was happening...finally an EP2 showed.. but Loud.

I figured I could always sell it if it was too loud...I am SO glad I tried it.

Are they still around $3000-3500 used?

Adam,

Can you live with the loud on an everyday basis? I'm building a daily driver and wonder about just how loud the noise is in the interior.

Most complaints from aftermarket exhausts is the drone in the cockpit while cruising. So if this is something you are very touchy about, you need to do some extensive homewrok. EP I know seems okay as does AWE and Tubi. Other than that I can't help.

Two basic desgns and sound results:

EP/stock/ruf/pbk (no drone and standard)

switzer, speedtech crossflow, Markski (crossovers)

....my bias is, save for EP, the crossover sound. My swizer has 4 years and abotu 42,000 miles on it..no issues so far. Sound is same as when it showed up. At VIR it was called very similar to a GT3 by many instructors at a Zone 2 big HPDE event.

I did buy it directly from Mr. Switzer and he was super nice - it was used. Had I infinite funds, it and the EP's are where I'd go, perhaps Markski too. For investment purposes, the EP's seem to hold up the best. And I always listen to Kevin.

Let's be honest...turbos cut off the sound and make the flat 6 a lot less sexy than an NA car, no matter what you do. These are the best you can do. I really like mine and it makes me smile...but I suspect if it was pure sound based, a gt3 is better. It has been stable in the sound and the tips are works of art.
