I agree with Phil 100% and should have said something sooner.

I do not appreciate this tone and the attitude. Just not necessary...it is so obvious and kindergarten style...

John D.

Thank you - and Phil...

When I dial into a thread - and post, there is typically a good reason. My thanks..

I expect to read posts like Speed's on another forum - but - NOT HERE.

Indeed - I have a very short attention span for poor tones and attitudes - tried to be passed off as "humor".

My Best Always,

John D.

All of us try to be objective and pass on good knowledge from our experience. Yes we have our opinions but we that is what a discussion forum is for. To listen to others and make up our own minds.

99.9% of people here are great. I have learned a great deal here about my car.

Best to you as well John! And Igooz!

I don't think it was quiet... I think it was annoying...

I agree with you, everybody have different taste but I'm sure nobody likes to lose money!

Get Europipe even if you don't like it you can get 90% of your money back because it has a lot of Demand

LOL!... is this the attack of the cyber nannies or something? As a suggestion there is such things as PM or even put a thread on the off topic and i'll answer whatever you like there. I've seen more personal attacks and snide remarks made at me and do you see me crying? Ridiculous. If you've got a problem take it off the open forums and put whatever it is you want on the table on the table. Glad to answer anyone. I've got nothing to hide.

John D.

As you requested - it's now on the table:

Either turn it down a notch - or find another forum.

I can give my 2 cents to the OP.

The Mufflers, whether you choose V2 or V3, give a more pronounced, but stock type sound. Gurgle-ly, snarly.

The Supersport X-Pipe gives a more refined sound, due to the talk window in the X - the cylinder banks are connected and you are hearing more than 3 cylinders coming out of each tail pipe.

John D II

Our customers overwhelmingly prefer the X-Pipe style to twin can versions, in fact we hardly sell any twin can systems any longer due to this....I have also used both styles personally and I can tell you from my personal experience and opinion, the sound quality of the 997TT X-Pipe is far superior. It's tough to make the Porsche turbos sound good compared to other high performance cars and our X-Pipe systems succeeds at achieving an extremely desirable sound for these cars...so in short, if I were in your shoes, I would choose an X-Pipe for sure.

Chris,

I placed my order yesterday with David.
I noticed you guys offer 4 different versions of the test pipe is that correct?

MIAMI997

Leo,

I hear you on that. I saw the pics of the exhaust, super nice stuff!

Since I already have Fabspeed headers and cat delete I wanted to stay with the same company as far as the exhaust portion of the car goes.

Leo997TT

No my place to say it but stock headers are the best option for the 997TT if you don't have any BIG modifications 700hp +

The stock headers are partly double walled so the air inside the header tubes remains very hot. Hot air = big volume = high air speed = faster spinning turbocharger = good. Aftermarket headers are never double walled but they have a better flowing 3 into 1 collector. So with aftermarket headers you'll lose a little and you'll gain a little at the same time. I'm sure they can be better on very high hp engines but for us "normal guys" I'd stick with the stock ones

Actually the fvd ones are also double walled (true dbbl wall), made by MM, the company that does the Porsche motorsports exhausts. The factory headers are plenty good for almost all street applications, as Leo mentioned.

I have a friend who ported his stock manifolds with good results. He did it himself! But he modded many many things besides the headers. So his thinking was trying to squeeze a little hp form just about everywhere...

For us mortals I agree... The stock is the best..

LT1

Can anyone chime in that owns the fabspeed x pipe? How does it sound? Any drone? I like loud and would opt for the europipe 2, but it only comes with modified stock tips and I can't stand the look of stock tips. I may have to settle for EP1, with fabspeed tips but I fear it's too quiet
