I have 5 of my cousins that have 911's and were about to order fabspeed mufflers with me but chose to wait to hear mine first... now they're laughing at me! I was their guinea pig... i sent an email to fabspeed i hope i get a good reply!

What do you think?
Oh and i also ended up buying the Evoms Air kit and their installation manual has nothing to do with what they sent. I have missing bolts, extra brackets, missing screws... this sh*t is crazy... I'm used to working and living with 3rd world country incompetence! This is just worse.
I agree with Fabspeed's reply on the mufflers. With any brand new muffler there is a break-in period.
If you want loud, immediately out of the box, you need to go with something along the lines of their by-pass pipes, which eliminate the mufflers all together.
I have several different exhausts (Fabspeed, GHL, M&K and B&B) on all of my 911's and each one took some time to come close to what the respective manufacturer's sound clips showed. Even then, alot of the sound you get in person, is totally different from what you hear online.
Good luck...and heck, the positive here is that you have an excuse for some spirited runs in the 996!
