USMC_DS1.... You are so correct about thenFVD systems. M&M builds these exhaust systems and is one of if not the best around.
Louis, you can't go wrong with FVD-M&M for exhaust parts.

My brother has PSE on his car, '10 4S PDK, with the Shark Works crossover pipe, deleting the center muffler. It was a pretty easy install, took about 45 minutes, and it sounds terrific. The benefit of the PSE is that you can still leave it in quiet mode and it is still quiet. Open the PSE up and the car sounds terrific. Best bang for the buck. I have PSE on my car, '10 4S speed, and wish I could slip a Shark Works pipe in there but my wife would have a fit as it is her daily driver and she does not want ti to be that loud.

jhbrennan is correct. Here is link to a thread that both jh and I contributed to that touches on this over on 6speed: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...ed-cutout.html. My post (#6) gives some links to additional info.

I tried most of the exhausts mentioned and LOVED the Fister. To me it was the system that sounded the most like a Porsche should. It's $300 from Fister and if you don't like them they will sell fast in the marketplace.

If you decide on a TUV approved from FVD, let us know. I've been hunting around to see a video on what this sounds like on a 997.1S.

Maybe we could all have an exhaust sound off day in Austin during the F1 at COTA.

You're welcome Louis and GL with the exhaust upgrade. BTW, you're absolutely right about TUV. It is one of the most difficult safety and quality certifications to secure due to the stringent requirements. Far more difficult than CE, UL, etc. I used to secure these types of certifications when I was an OEM manufacturing engineer for a server systems manufacturer many years ago. We needed the TUV rating to sell our products in Germany and many other countries. It's telling that FVD(M&M) has this cert. Also comforting that FVD is HQ'd out of Freiburg, German ~200Km from Stuttgard.
I have to agree with many here that sound is purely subjective. Notice how most everyone likes their own exhaust note including myself. Near impossible to form an accurate opinion unless you can listen to the exhaust in person, drive the car over an extended period, be driven as a passenger in the car, and have your family members participate as well. FWIW, this is an old clip of my exhaust but in person it's a whole different perspective... this video actually makes it sound tamer than it really is. The 1st 8:30 minutes is just starting up the cold engine, some idle, then cruising around the neighborhood. Afterwards it's some high revs through the hill country. I should video a few passengers and/or those I let drive the car... we're typically laughing all the way along those canyon runs.

Always nice to see the Vets enjoying the Porsche hobby. Does anybody deserve a Porsche more than those guys(gals) ???
I think not.
Nice exhaust--badass.
