I love mine too.

Perfect sound.

Remember the 993TT poster "Kills Bugs Fast"

I have a new one "Bugs Neighbors Good" with my exhaust when cold.

Try a straight pipes cold start! It doesn't get any louder than that!

I hear ya man...I got mine 4 years ago at the local dealer because another customer put it on and drove it around the block and hated it. It is the best sounding exhaust you can put on this car IMO.

Winding it out to redline with the fab sounds insane.

from what i understand, the fabspeed gen 1 exhaust is essentially, a straight thru exhaust, with 100 cell cats, correct ?

Each pipe is a 100 cell cat and a resonator that they call a muffler. The two pipes cross each other and exit out opposite ends.

there is drone but it is better than straight pipes only. Livable imo. The drone is not at speed, but at rpm, and it typically starts at 2300 rpm and ends at 2700 rpm range and gets louder under load. by 2800 you are out of the drone zone. Most aftermarket exhaust have some sort of drone, but you just don't hear it as bad. Even the EP loud has it but it is not loud and so not noticed as much.
