How about this 997.1TT full 3" X-Pipe



With these dual 3" tips (available either polished or satin black ceramic coated)



Loud and fantastic sounding, minimal drone - very comfortable.

AWE makes a cross pipe system, they have a video that sounds really good, plus they're somewhat local.

Here is a video of a 997TT (GT2RS) with our Supersport X-Pipe and cat bypass pipes. No drone on this car.

Super sport? Let me guess if you combine the super sport exhaust with the super sport hot air filter you get 100 super sport HP?

It sounds awesome.. But why would you want to swap out the titanium exhaust the GT2 RS comes with?

^+1. Phillip, I think that my GT2 is also Ti exhaust.

Isn't TT also Ti? Or is it Stainless?

GT2's all have Titanium rear mufflers made by Akrapovic

This customer wanted something more aggressive, yet a little more refined sounding

Maybe the 991 GT2RS will come with a full Exhaust from Fabspeed and the Hot air intake

Leo be nice... Fabspeed makes some good stuff. Intake not withstanding.

I had their mufflers and headers on my first 996 3.4 Carrera . I still think it was the best sounding Porsche I ever had..

And if I bought something from them I wasn't happy with they always made it good. Even let me return.

That's a lot more than can be said for most aftermarket Porsche companies..

Maybe they do... But I didn't have good luck with the exhaust and the air intake... And what it makes me upset is the BS... 12HP for the air intake...

Anyway they all do the same thing... All this number are always on steroids....

Hi Leo,

I'm sorry you did not have any luck with our products on your car. We try to provide many videos so the customer is well informed on the sound he is buying. There is nothing like hearing and more importantly driving a car with the exhaust setup you want. If you have any questions about specific products I would be more than happy to help you out.

I didn't have a problem with your products... I just didn't like them... The sound for the version 2 was very poor... (Maybe is because it was a used system? Maybe because my car was tiptronic? )

What I really didn't like was the air intake.... Too much hot air for the engine... No way you can get 12HP out of that system... (Any air intake)

Ditto,
I've used their products for years on and off on various projects. I really liked their 996na stuff, nothing touches them IMHO.
They've always swapped returned items nc, no hassle in the past. Their 930 stuff is fantastic, cl it out. Their 997 stuff was all too loud for my tastes, but overall great company, no need to slam. However, I completely understand Leo's frustration. I think he just did too much, too fast, then hated the car, I've seen that play out before on the boards. Leo's a good guy.
