Most economical way to get a louder exhaust sound.
I'm a little disappointed by the exhaust sound on my stock '99 996. I only got the car a few months ago and I love the car and the performance. However the exhaust sound simply doesn't do the car justice and based on all the forum topics related to this it seems to be a common observation. I live on a Caribbean Island, and am lucky to drive 20 miles a day, so I don't really want to do the full $5000 exhaust replacement job. Instead I was thinking of getting the Fister modified muffles along with an air intake kit. Is this combination likely to give me a nice noise boost and if not what else should I consider? Thanks.

The fister mod and intake will give you a nice increase in sound. Probably the cheapest route also.

Yea go for it. If you want real cheap and quick get some muffler bypass pipes. They are extremely loud though.

+1 for the PSE hack. I did it and put in a K&N intake. Sounds great and I can feel more torque. More air in and More air out!!!

Fabspeed cat bypass and muffler bypass. That's my set up. Some say it's too loud some say they love. I like mine. After 4k rpm it's beast.

The cheapest mod by far is to drill holes through the stock pipes to let the exhaust vent more easily. Free!

Come on guys, I know this must be a joke... drilling holes?! This is a Porsche we're talking about here, not some high school kid's Honda Civic.
