Default does your fabspeed muffler "fart"

at low rpm's, does your fabspeed make a "pppfffffttttt" sound? i noticed even when stock, 997's make that noise. but with the muffler swap, its way more pronounced. i really noticed it the other day in a parking garage. i wonder if its actually leaking air somewhere. or maybe its just that its more noticeable since the fabspeed is louder overall. i liken the noise to the classic vw bettle sound.

Nope, just a nice little burble sound. Actually the Fabspeed sound the most like a Cup race car to me than any of the others.

Yeah my Fabspeed sounds sweeeet! Loud and beastly, although sometimes I do sort of hear a 'backfire' type sound or a 'pop'.

Yes, I had the pfharting sound... it gets better with miles. I had it the most with the full exhaust set up...headers, high flow cats, and mufflers... now it's less for some reason with the X-51 manifolds, stock cats, and Fabspeed mufflers. The old set up was too loud, it made my ears ring every time I went past four grand, at full throttle.

My Fabspeeds do the farting thing at start up and low speeds - just like the stock mufflers used to except a bit louder.
