The car will be too loud IMO with a muffler bypass, at least for daily driving. Just get the mufflers.

Don't rely on the Fabspeed video for the noise level of their muffler bypass pipes, they're MUCH louder. Find someone who has them and listen to them before you go that route. They're completely wrong for 99.9% of P-car owners.

You really do not want those bypass pipes. They're great for a Honda Civic, but not for a Porsche. IMHO, they demean the car.

I would still like to hear what Ruf has to offer. Anyone have a sound bite?

Ruf is a great exhaust but with the current exchange rate the price has gone through the roof (no pun intended). At $1600 it wasn't so bad but $2K is a little high IMO. I would have loved another set, but I'm happy with the Fabs at half the price.

The factory PSE is the only exhaust that completely keeps the sophisticated character of the Porsche sound in my opinion.

I had a GHL Loud and enjoyed it, but have to admit that at times it sounded a little "farty"
