Best exhaust while still sounding like a Porsche?

Hi!! I´ve installed the Fabspeed headers in my 997.1 C2 (manual) and I´m experiencing a very noticeable loss of torque in the lower rpm, so bad that makes the car to stall sometimes. When turning a street corner, in second gear, if I put too much gas, the engine stalls. It doesn´t happen with the OEM headers. I´m planning to make a ECU flash repro to see if it can fix the problem. Did you gain some power with your configuration? I want better torque as this car is my daily, and I really don´t care for gains in power in 7500rpm. Also I noticed that with the OEM headers I´ve never went full throtle above 2.000 rpm as the acceleration was brutal... now I can put my pedal to the floor after 2.000rpm and up to 3.500rpm the acceleration is slower than before... the difference occurs above 5.000rpm...

Hi! After month of track days and modifying the exhaust, I´ve managed to keep the Fabspeed Sport Headers and made the car perform better than with OEM setup. I strongly recommend to go all the way with Fabspeed parts and do not mix and match, as this could be a painfull, long and I´m sure that the car still can perform better with all the setup from Fabspeed, alongside with the Carbon intake, the Sport Cup exhaust and the ECU tunning. Atlhough I have only installed the sport headers and made a custom exhaust from that part on, the sound is impressive, I get compliments everywhere I go and the car performs a lot better at the track. Once it passes 4000 rpm, the car screams and accelerate much faster to the redline. I´m willing to complete the setup and install all the Fasbpeed setup so I can keep improving the car. So far I´ve installed only Fabspeed Sport Headers, so I feel the car has a lot more to give. On the sound point, it´s epic. I´ve got pulled by the local police and they stopped me just to ask me to go full speed so they can hear and enjoy the exhaust sound. It can only happen in a Porsche. I´m still improving the car and already installed a KW V3 suspension, which is day and night compared to OEM. Next changes will be Numeric short shifter, Goodridge braided brake lines , Titan roll cage, and the hole sport setup from Fabspeed (carbon Y intake, Sport Cup exhaust, ECU tune). I´ll keep you posted!

Im considering installing a new exhaust on my 07 997S. Performance is as important as sound so I have eliminated Tubi because 1. it does not sound like a Porsche (from what Ive gathered from the boards) 2. was not made to work with aftermarket cats. Ive strongly considered AWE, but recently started looking into Europipe as an alternative.

Tubi exhaust was ace. Old mate needs to hear it with his own ears both from the outside and from within the cabin. Closest I've heard a water-cooled 911 sounding like an aircooled race car. Keep it below 3k rpm, and you can drive around town without attention.

I agree the PSE sounds great .... The trick I have found with the PSE is to get the car going once in awhile ... get the car up to up to 160 / 180 and then at regular speed the pitch and sound seems to open up a bit my motorcycle seems to do the same thing after a good blast .

Soul sounds great, 'dega. Did you do headers and cats, too?

I don't know that there will ever be any consensus on this topic which has been brought up more times than I can remember. First reason of course is that there are so many options and combinations available that I doubt anyone has heard all of them. And even if you somehow managed to find a group of say 10 people who all claimed to have heard every available exhaust option/combination for the 997.1 and 997.2, exhaust note is so subjective that you would probably get 10 different opinions.
PSE and Sharkwerks on my GTS sounds very much like a Porsche at its best to me so I personally have no desire to experiment further. No affiliation with Sharkwerks btw.
