Go GHL

Cannot go wrong. No resonance on the 996.

My dad's friend has the Fabspeed on his 996 and its sounds throaty, we have it on the Turbo and are very happy with it, great sound, quality product, I vote Fabspeed over Techart.

jasclass,

be honest with u, i am not even sure about what resonance means. just that many people mentioned about the word related to exhaust question.

i might just go for fabspeed since you recommended. thank u

resonance

res·o·nance ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rz-nns)
n.

Physics. The increase in amplitude of oscillation of an electric or mechanical system exposed to a periodic force whose frequency is equal or very close to the natural undamped frequency of the system.

To you and me, that means: uncomfortable sound frequencies that cause what is called exhaust resonance, or noise, inside the car at cruising speeds. Usially in the lower RPM's (2-3k ish)

I have two friends with Fabspeeds on 996's. On the normally-aspirated car (a 996 C4) it resonates in that RPM range inside the passenger cabin. The other has his Fabspeed on a 996 TT and the turbos silence this resonance naturally. As a result, I bought a GHL. No resonance in comparison, which is guaranteed, and quite honestly, much easier to drive around in.

I also have friends with Fabspeeds on their track cars, where resonance is irrelevant. They certainly sound great, but seem less practical for daily driving in a non-turbo car. My opinion of course.

Some additional subjective data for you. When I was looking for exhausts, the shop that I was using to gain knowledge on this topic from was swapping out their second fabspeed for a GHL in 3 months time. I was sold.
