Nice pics Chris, your car and my car are like close siblings, same color on the outside, same exhaust but different interior and transmission.

Anyway, the more I drive my car, the more I love the FabSpeed sound, wished I had it done last year when I took delivery of the car.

Just wanted to show some pics, there were some wild rumors that FS didn't make anything themselves, this turned out to be pure propaganda bullcrap. Everything is made on site, the cats are from Germany, the rest from the NE USA!

Hey, Chris or Chris...I would love to take a quick ride out to LI one day to listen to some exhausts. Not sure which route to go.

Chris, I'm probably like you in that I want moderate noise, a good growl and of course no droning. Question: Did you just get the Fabspeed exhaust or the whole performance package with headers, mufflers, and so on?

I have the Cargraphic loud version and I love the sound and It's not to loud for me but I think it's really a personal preference.

I had a ride in Switzerland in a friend's 993 C4S with Europipe. Moderate growl at idle, nice but moderate snarl at WOT. No drone in the cabin. Not too loud. Switzerland was the country that got Porsche started on the noise abatement track, so you have to be careful what you install.

I just did the exhaust. The gen 3 system sounds good, better then CG imo, but just a bit loud for me(wife). The 'quiet' system is not exactly stock either, it has a nice growl too. Just no 2800 rpm low speed noise. Other than the cans being slightly different the systems are the same.

Thanks, Chris. I wasn't sure which one I would have to get. Their website was a little bit confusing to me.
