Cool! How used is the Moderate? How much do you want for it?

Finally got back in town and pickup my car. The Fabspeed moderate ROCKS!! Real nice angry growl. I don’t hear anything I would call a drone or anything like that, just pure Porsche roar.

This is exactly the reason why I purchased the Fabspeed GT2 exhaust. It's a perfect complement to my GIAC Stage 2 flashed by Sharkwerks. The car hauls *ss, and pulls like never before. The sound is mean and aggrssive. However, since I have a tip, it resonates and sometimes gives me a headache. Weird thing is that my wife is unaffected by the drone. I drive with earplugs for longer drives as a result.

Hey man.. glad to see you on here You are correct. It does resonate a good deal more with that exhaust on a Tip. I had the same exhaust for a while and because of where the RPMs are on the freeway with the Tip it's always going to be worse.

PS I love the NO SUNROOF option on your car. Very envious!!!

As most anyone will tell you, exhaust sound is very subjective.

Just look at any of the exhaust threads that pop up on a regular basis and every one of them enjoys an amazing amount of posts.

Try to listen to as many exhausts as you can and if possible drive as many as you can.

There are sound clips on most of the popular exhausts out there but they can't take the place of a live sound test.

I listened to and drove close to a dozen different exhausts before I purchased a Sportec exhaust. This is the same exhaust that is used on their SP650 Porsches as well as their cabriolet that set the speed record at Nardo at 357km/hr. http://www.sportec.ch/pages/frame.cfm?dom=2

I posted a sound clip a while back but it does not look like the search function brings it up so here is a link:

http://media.putfile.com/Sportec-Echaust

Good luck with your searchf or the perfect exhaust and remember that the journey can be more rewarding than the final destination.

Me too, but I like my straight pipes BETTER. My neighbors..... not so much likey the straight pipes. Oh well my 2yo son LOVES them as much as I do as does my 12yo daughter.

Fabspeed makes a good exhaust and I have never had a problem with it when I had it on.

sorry, but i didn't read all the posts, but i have a 9ff switchable exhaust that you might be interested in.. sometimes, i like it loud and sometimes, i like it quiet.. just like an offshore boat. .. just flip a switch... as far as i am concerned the ONLY way to go. .. not inexpensive, but depending on your mood, you pick the sound level..

I've been driving with my med/mod fabspeed for two weeks and love it. I won't argue its louder, but still very tolerable. I took my wife for an hour drive up the freeway to Seattle, easy to talk and she didn't complain at all. I asked if she thought it was too loud...nope..in fact she likes it!!
