Mike,

Before I bought my PSE I checked into Tubi, and it is more expensive than PSE. Fabspeed would not be a good choice for a DD car because of the drone. As you mentioned, your car is not a DD so the drone would not be an issue for you at the track, since I don't imagine you spend much time at 2,500 - 3,000 RPM.

I looked at Fabspeed and AWE tips but I can't bring my self to pay $500 for something as simple as exhaust tips!
I did the same with my 997.1. Removed the PSE and installed FVD sport muffs. I bought a pair of Carrera S tips on ebay that fit the FVDs for about $100. I fully agree, it's crazy to pay $500 just for the damn tips!

PSE adds noise, but IMHO is not a good quality exhaust sound. Same goes for any bypass type muffler noise maker. They sound rather flatulent and unrefined if you ask me.

PSE sounds good but it is extremely heavy.

I'm seriously not a big fan of PSE.
+1, but not because of the weight. I think it adds less than 5lbs.

Just not a big fan of the exhaust note it makes.

And to those who would say "but you can turn it on and off", I'd say, -not necessary with a proper muffler. cruising around town = low volume, WOT = glorious sound that PSE can only dream about!

What size, in inches, do you need for the tips?

A fellow rennlister sold me his stock S tips for $100...they are on there way now.

However, I'm not the biggest fan of the fakey dual S tips and would rather have something oval or round. The tips need to clamp onto an 2 1/4" pipe and be around 6" long. Also it would be nice if the tips are a dual wall type of design to help cool them because they are rather close to the plastic exhaust opening on the plastic rear bumper.

Hey mdrums, I currently don't have any takeoffs or anything with some wear on them at a discounted price, but shoot me a PM and I will try to reply with a better end of the year discount for you.
thanks,

Sounds like you're asking for the Speedsters' Tips 'eh ? Don't even want to know what the price is for those bad boys....

Never got to thank the suggestions on the pse from the brothers. Thanks. A few things not going for pse weight and price. Which is why it is so hard to bite the bullet. Right off i think i am going to do the gundo hack after the car warranty expires and hear the exhaust sound from that. Like many i hope i will also be saying the best $80 i spent on the pcar
