Default Sports Exhaust Updrade

i recently got a 2007 Targa 4S (Guards Red), 6M with 27k on it. The car was in great shape with no mechanical issues or interior or exterior damage. I have driven 2000 miles and it is great fun. I have detailed it myself (work in progress) and interior looks spotless. Next job is exterior wax

I planning a couple of upgrades. One is a new pedal set. The other is a sports exhaust. I would welcome any recommendations from you guys. i am planning a DIY for set of pedals.

Exhaust options are:

- Porsche Sport Exhaust: $$$
- Tubi: $$
- AWE, Fabspeed, : $

Fabspeed loudest, Tubi has the best fit/finish and *maybe* sound [always debatable], AWE has good reviews, PSE is great sounding, but if you wanna install the toggle between quiet/loud, that could be $$ for installation.

Many like the Gundo hack--but you can't simply turn it off when it gets too loud. The price is right! -$

boraiv333, i bought the hacked muffs off another rennlister so didnt use a local shop but i agree that a reasonably competent shop should be easily able to do this

I dont ever find them too loud so have never really seen the point of an on/off switch as I would have it on all the time. If you are light on the throttle then they are fairly tame and just a bit deeper than stock ie never offensive even at night (however i have fister stage 3's on my 993 so maybe i am going deaf!)

I also dont get the warranty issue. What on a hacked can could cause any warranty issues? i also have my stock cans as well if i ever want to go back

PSE's are at least a couple of grand upgrade. some guys want to pay for oe stuff so no problem. i just dont see the price differential to be remotely worth it

Thanks

PSE is not that loud.....it's like a quiet Tubi type of sound...Tubi is louder more raw and raspy but zero drone on the highway...Fabspeed is a little more deeper/muffled with a great cup car like wail at the top rpm range.
