Several options out there, can't really go wrong:

We like the Kline system, very high-end craftsmanship:

We also like the Remus system, high-quality and a good value:

There's only one manufacturer that you've mentioned which has made an OEM Porsche exhaust system and that would be Akrapovič. Akrapovič actually designed the 997 GT2 system installed from factory, so there's certainly a level of expertise and comfort that Porsche instills in Akrapovič to make these systems. These systems are perfectly engineered in more ways that you'd believe, but what truly makes them unique is their proprietary titanium which they have developed themselves over the years with some of the top metallurgists in the world. What you get in return is not only a system which produces a nice chunk of power, but for a 991 Carrera S, you'll also save about 20lbs of weight off the rear end to give you some extra pep. Certainly helps that not only are you getting a system that'll perform, but sound like this:








Also if you're watching Le Mans this weekend, you'll probably see more than a few Akrapovič sponsor logos on some nice looking race cars too

I've been shopping for exhausts for my 991.1 as well. I had the opportunity to ride in a 911 with the AWE exhaust installed and hear it for myself. Vs. my bone-stock exhaust, the AWE was almost equally civil in "normal" driving. No drone at all in a 3-pedal car - an improvement to my ears over the stock exhaust. Getting more aggressive, the exhaust came alive - though it wasn't actually as loud as I expected. Oh it was plenty loud - but I had a Magnaflow exhaust on a (V8) Audi S5, and that thing was LOUD. I came away feeling like I could live with the AWE every day. So that's AWE. Only other comment I have is that I've been told Akrapovic and Remus are pretty much best of breed. Quite a bit more $$ though, I think.
