Default 997.2 Turbo S after market exhaust thread

Hello all!

I am curious forum member's opinion on which is the best sounding 997.2 Turbo S exhaust.
Definition of "best" is different from each individual, so every opinion should be valued.
Could you post your best exhaust?
If you can attach a video, it would be the best as well.

Thanks in advance!

Tons of info on here on this topic....I have the Europipe from @stef@europipe and it's awesome.....extremely well made and high quality and sounds great (especially in Sport and Sport Plus) with no drone. Kline is another one that folks like here. Both are full systems and replace the stock cats with high flow cats. If you want to keep the stock cats then Sharkewerks catback is an option.

I've had the Europipe for about a year, perfect for what I was looking for. In normal mode it is just as quiet as stock on the highway if you need to be on a call. But in sport / sport + it sounds much more aggressive and also you can hear the turbos spool up. Not cheap but well made.

Thanks for your comment!
Does it have a valve system opens on sport and sport plus mode?
Just curious

From what I understand, the Europipe doesn't have a valve that can be controlled by a button. It is worthwhile to know that the 997 TTS with the VTG turbos gets significantly louder in sport mode when the turbos move to their more aggressive profile. This is further emphasized by a good full exhaust system from just about any reputable company. I have the Speedtech full 3" system (incl. performance cats) with quad tips and putting it in Sport or Sport + makes for a nice step up in volume and quality of sound. I'm not really sure a valved system is worth the extra spend, but Fabspeed does offer one and I'm sure you can find someone to speak about their experience with that system and the sound qualities.

When i bought mine it had a fabspeed valved exhaust already on it that I'm happy with. When the valve are open its decently loud with a good sound. I close the valves when on the highway cruising so i don't have to hear any drone. I definitely love the valved aspect, would recommend any exhaust you get has that.

Yup, it is the tuning from Porsche that changes elements of the powertrain that makes the exhaust more alive/aggressive in those modes, no valves on the Europipe

click on the sharkwerks link they have a video with sound

center delete is the way to go with these cars I suppose it just has not been as common with the Turbos historically as it has been with the GT2s due to the GT2s having separate stock cats and exhaust.
