Default Need Exhaust help?

Is agency power any good? I see there is a set available for $850.00 at vivid racing. That is cheap in comparison to the competition making 997S exhaust systems. Just was wondering if anyone had this system and what they thought in comaprison to other systems? (fabspeed, tubi, PSE)

No one has opinion on this exhaust system?

Maybe no one has heard of it?

I believe this product was announced within the last month (maybe 6 weeks) so there won't be a lot of people with knowledge/experience regarding it.

You are probably right. I was hoping for some feed back on this. I plan on buying a system this week. Not sure which one yet. I love that $850.00 price but if it is junk then it is worth nothing.

for just a little more coin, you can get a proven exhaust such as fabspeed or awe.

Ok I was going to go with fabspeed. I was just wondering if this was any good.

Which is better between the two AWE or fabspeed, or is it a toss up?

Sorry I missed hearing that today. Was house shopping with the wife. I hope to hear mdrums fabspeed system soon. I wouldn't mind hearing the PSE system as well.

How is that evo intake, I was thinking of getting one.

Guys, why dont we all get together...Rob Golfman and me...that way we could make some friends and Golfman could hear Fabspedd and PSE together. Rob if you know of some cool road we could do some take offs let me know other wise over in Apollo Beach there is a road behind my house that is newly paved and we could meet at my house and go from there.

While you are at it, maybe one of you could shoot a video and post 'em for comparison purposes: Stock vs. PSE. vs. Fabspeed. That would be cool!

That would be sweet if you can upload sound or video clips of the PSE! I "think" I want the PSE, but I'm not into loud cars, so I keep thinking "why would I want it?"

$%#@ LSU!!! I'm looking for louder exhausts too. I had a set of track pipes from Fabspeed, but there was no muffler....nothing, but nice chrome tips. Way too loud for the street, so I sent them back.
Remember how the old 911 air cooled engines sounded? You could run it up and it would backfire and belch flame when you shifted.

Well, anyway I just posted a video of my 997.... I have a hat with a video camera on it, so if you'd like to compare the INside sound of my resonators at 150mph.... go here!

It's a short download and it's worth it to go for the ride... keep your mouse pointed on "pause" while you're watching it so you can see the speedo when I glance down at it. I verbally said "90mph through the "S's" ... but if you pause on the speedo glance in the middle of the S turn, you'll see it is actually 94mph. I wonder what that sounded like from outside? Here's the link.

P.S. Please, no lectures about doing this on a public road. I get enough of that from my wife! I even short shifted into 6th.... that's safe! Plus, I have every light in the front of the car on and I flash my lights at oncoming traffic.
