Default 971 FI Exhaust system

Hey - anyone install a FI Exhaust system? It is quite expensive and curious if people feel it was worth it or have any advice please.

Cheers

Don't have it or ever heard it on a 971. But FI doesn't really make anything crappy. Top notch all the way. Never heard an FI exhaust that didn't sound great. Worth it, probably more in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks for the input. Agree on the quality. Certainly a lot of chedda.

The 4S is awesome but way to quiet. Seen people performing resonator delete as a cost effective option but do not think that is "my path" lol Thanks again.

I have a 2018 971 4S, but I bought a red star exhaust secondary cat delete. I asked the guys at RSE if you could extract more sound from deleting the secondary pipe vs. the resonator, and they said the secondary delete is the move. I have the Porsche Sport Exhaust on my vehicle so I'm looking forward to producing more sound!

Here's a comparison video on a 971 Turbo:


Here's the link to the product:

(I did not get the shielding fyi to save a few bucks)

That sounds awesome!. Unsure about removing the cats though. Going to move forward with the FI brand after much consideration and mental bartering on the price :-) I'll post after video once installed in a couple of weeks. Cheers
