Need help choosing exhaust !!

I just bought a 2005 996 C4S and I am new to this forum. I know this has been beaten to death but, I would like some opinoins on the following exhaust brands: Fabspeed, Agency Power and Supersprint.
Also, if any of you have any of these exhausts in your 996 and live in the Miami or Ft. Lauderdale area, I would like to listen to them if it is OK with you.
I am looking for a low, bassy sound. Good craftmanship and fit. And, not extemely loud but, a bit louder than stock.

Thank you.

FABSPEED MAX-FLOW IMHO is the Best Bang for the buck. PSE is ok, but there are no performance gains and it's more money for a sound - PASS ! I love my Maxflow (I also have the headers as well) - It puts a smile on my face daily.

To me the stock sounds like a Beetle. It is starting to irritate me. I want something that sounds deeper, and a bit louder .

I just put on a set of Agency's last week and dyno tested the car before and after. There is 0 difference in rwhp and tq with the Agency added.
But, you do save weight and the sound is nice. Quiet at idle and cruise, loud but not obnoxious at WOT.
Buy from Dan at vivdracing, he'll give you a good 6speeder price-

Do not buy with expectations of hp gains or you will be dissapointed. JMHO..

PSE...all the way. Go to youtube and type in 996 PSE and be prepared to hear an orchestra created from petrol. Plus you get +15 mental horsepower.

Hello, jstrat85:

Another thumbs up for Fabspeed By Pass pipes. I've had my set for a couple of months and just put them on today. In-freakin-credible!

Since we're on the topic of exhausts, I'd like to know if there are any exhausts out there that will give a stock 996 more a F1, Bike, Ferrari, Carrera GT howl type sound. I have heard Tubi's, AP, PSE, Fabspeed etc. and they are more grumbly and don't sound smooth. I am looking for more trumpet sounding. Perhaps if I am after that type of sound, I should leave the stock sewing machine sound alone?
