Speedtech

I installed a Speedtech 60 mm 'Quiet' exhaust system.
My butt dyno is swamped by aural sensation, but now I'm pulling 0.9 bar, before I only saw .7 maybe occasionally .8

I think from what I have read that fabspeed might be a slightly better performer but is louder. I have read/heard good things about fabspeed, but exhausts seem to be very subjective as far as sound and drone go. Common theme/advice is too listen in person to an exhaust you think you want to decide.

Exhaust sound is definitely subjective.
I did not like the stock system for drone between 2K-3K (Tip-Cab) and sounding overly suppressed at WOT. It also weighs a ton and may reduce boost .1 bar compared to the Speedtech, if that is possible. The Speedtech is fairly priced and nicely made. It fits perfectly.
It might be called the 'quiet' system but I can tell you that at WOT it is pretty hard to ignore, in fact lesser autos cower in its wake.
Alex, I can try for a video when I get my kids back from overseas but I can't think of anyone else I could get to stand around with a camera while I do afterburner fly-by's.

I'd say that's pretty accurate but there is no way to capture the real experience without some very elaborate sound equipment. In my opinion the sound pretty extreme compared to any other car I have owned. I had a 996C2 with a GHL exhaust and this is nothing like it. You need to listen to one, go for a ride, decide for yourself.

I have 60mm Speedtech and am happy. Had a Race Precision on originally, way too loud for my tastes. 60mm is civil sounding at idle, loud enough WOT, and butt dyno shows noticable improvement, this by no means scientific, however. Great price-point also, which was key for me-

I also have been looking for the 60mm video with no luck.

I also have a 60mm speedtech and like it alot. One warning for those that do not want a LOUD exhaust. In my opinion, this exhaust has a nice low sound at all rpm's that is free of drone and not overly agressive or obtrusive at all. However, at WOT the thing absolutely screams, to the point that it will no doubt draw stares and glares from pedestrians and nearby traffic. I like it, but sometimes (only sometimes), wish I had the ability to accelerate aggressively in an inconspicuous manner, which is now pretty much impossible! I'm not complaining...I love the exhaust, but just thought I would give my thoughts. Perhaps this weekend I will try to get a sound clip from inside and outside the car.

Wow... If you could post a clip, You my man would be the "Hero" I can't tell you how many times somebody tried to post the 60mm but never got around to it.
