Default Got tubi?

So i took the tubi exhaust off the car like 2 weeks for the stage three package at the local porsche dealership, my neighbors complained it was to loud since i live in the historic downtown area, it only has 3,000 miles on it. i did not have cats (opps!) How much do you think i can get out of this exhaust? I also have the whole stock air box unit, and stock exhaust (that thing is heavy compared to the tubi). Just let me know if anyone is interested in these items: pwagon717@yahoo.com for pics

It was loud enough to get noise violations, I loved the sound of it, but with older neighbors surrounding me, they were getting annoyed. I would say it is one of the best sounding exhaust I have had.

Mine doesnt appear to be that loud to me. I'm hoping the headers will add a few decibels to it

I have had the Tubi for about 2 years and never had a negitave comment, but I have had plenty of good ones. Get a barking dog to give the neighbors something else to focus on.

the knock offs from suncoast. got a great deal on them, for 300 bucks I thought i'd give them a try.

Not sure, but I remember reading somewhere that the fit and finish is better then the x-51 headers.

car still in the shop

I almost bought a Turbo S that had a Tubi system on it. I drove it for a couple of days and I have to tell you that for me the Tubi was a bit annoying after awhile. I purchased the Fabspeed system for my C2S and I really love it. I never get tired of the sound and it turns heads, or maybe I should say ears! Tubi had what I can only describe as a drone like sound to in the lower RPMs. Just my opinion, go with what you like!

Historic downtown where? No location in your profile....

Anyway, some areas of SoCal (like Laguna Beach) they're writing up a lot of Harley's for noise, but can't imagine a 997 being close to the noise they can make....
