...also if you haven't yet? Hit up sambott here. Pretty sure he carries these in stock so you wouldn't have to spec order. You wouldn't be sorry that much I can promise. Good luck whatever you decide on! Transforms the car.

I have the Europipe loud version and love it - zero drone. It sounds amazing on the 996T and many of the people that hear my car say the same thing - includes members in my PCA with the same car.

That said, the loud version may not be what you want, but everybody has their own taste. I have never heard the quieter version.

I like loud under load but with no drone. I willing to pay extra for a better exhaust to get both performance and sound with no/minimal drone.

Careful there -- great sound at high RPM and drone tend to come hand in hand.

I have heard many, many, 996TT guys talk about how their exhaust isn't drone-y then I hear it in person and think ?!WTF?!.

The biggest factor here, in my opinion, is driving style. Do you like to keep it a gear down at 3500+ all the time? Do you play loud music when you're at 68mph on highway? Do you highway cruise at 80mph or 62mph....

There are a couple drone sweet-spots RPM ranges that if you avoid, you won't hear a lot of drone in a mildly aggressive exhaust. Most of us I think learn to avoid them and report back "no-drone, here!".


Cliff notes: listen to exhaust with your driving style in mind, and make sure you actually run it in the right RPM ranges/throttle.

Great post and thank you. The welds look they are from a master welder! Sounds good in the video.

Thanks all good points but not many in OK have different exhausts. They're are either stock or gutted car with full race system. I tend to drive 10 over the limit so 80 to 85 ish on highway. I lug around town though but my car is a week toy only.

Since I have no options to listen, I recommend we set-up a fall meeting Dallas, TX in October so everyone can take for a ride and sell me on their exhaust system.
