Default "Tubi or Not Tubi, that is the question"

Come on guys...talk me out of it.
Local dealer will do the install and all for $2400. I have been leaning towards PSE but spoke with Champion Motorsports and went over sound, Dyno results and all and now I am at a loss. PSE is the same price by the way (not connected to Sports Chrono)...

Let's see.... take this test. You MUST choose one from each group!

Breakfast........... Fruit Loops... or... Eggs Benedict
Dinner................TV Dinner..... or... Filet Mignon
Mistress............. Miss Piggy.... or... Catherine Zeta-Jones
Preferred car....... KIA Rio....... or... Porsche 997 S
$2,400 Exhaust... Tubi............ or... PSE

Do you detect a pattern here?

Have you heard both? That should be the deciding question IMO.

you don't say what the dyno result were?
if the tubi is cheaper and improves performance, while the pse does not, why it would be a tough choice?
did the dealer say how it would impact your warranty with them?

Dyno info:

PSE hp at 2700 RPM = 231
Tubi hp at 3000 RPm = 238

PSE torque at 2700 RPM 238
Tubi torque at 3000 RPM 237

With most exhaust you do lose some Tq but seems little here especially in the mid-range but higher gain on top. Another advantage is the 20 pounds "weight loss" going Tubi. Have not heard PSE or Tubi in real life....just on this forum via sound clips or movie. Hard to tell compared to real life.

Tubi is a better quality exhaust than any stock Porsche exhaust, it's light as well.

How do hp and torque compare in the maximum power/rpm ranges?
At 2700 and 3000 rpm the fun hasn't even begun yet!!
