From the articles in Excellence and Total 911 magazines, it looks like GMG has really created a nice exhaust. I am leaning towards going to Fabryce and getting it done.

My only question is, why did Excellence call GMG a "Los Angeles-based" tuner. Where's the love for the OC??? Do you guys also root for the Los Angeles Angels??

Barrister,

You happen to be on Bastanchury in Yorba Linda a couple nights ago?

LOLOL

What can I tell you ... European Editors.. Everything in SoCal is considered to be "L.A. based" to those guys..

Thanks for the kind words on the exhaust system.


As always our shop is open and our 997TT is available for demonstration of our complete World Challenge packages for 997TT- GT3 and GT3RS models

Difficult muffler choice. It is not so much the +$5K for the exhaust + cost/time for installation , it is the severe pain-in-the-butt issue reversing the process if the sound is too loud or there is drone at 50-55 miles/hr. And too, for me I like to be able to use the Porsche exhaust tips, I think they look best and too, you must have them when trading or you could lose even bigger bucks.

Looks like AWE and Cargraphic have noise levels "in cabin" not far from stock? Correct? AWE in their video shows the "in cabin" sound for only a second or two...difficult to really capture the sound for such a brief exposure. The problem I understand with AWE is that their muffler hangs a bit too low below the bumper.

Now there is GMG. That is one sexy gal they have promoting the exhaust system on their video, but again with her talking, difficult to tell "in cabin" sound. But the Cargraphic and GMG both show about the same muffler space behind the bumper as does stock (maybe a bit less). So either one is OK there. I sure don't want to have to remove the exhaust system when trading the '07 turbo so I need a muffler that can pass for stock as far as looks with the stock exhaust cans showing. Does anyone know with AWE, Cargraphic or GMG... will the stock exhaust tips fit like they do on the stock muffler

GMG = integrated tips, but dont let that put you off. Just keep the stockers in storage, always better to put back to stock when selling anyways.

Stock tips will fit the AWE system. The low hang below the bumper is overrated. It's how the photos are taken. You really can't tell. The in cabin sound level is a bit louder than stock. NO DRONE!

Don't let that deter you, it's a 3 hr job, leaving the bumper on...I've done it three times now on mine.
Also, they ALL hang down, even your stocker. Check out the fabspeed quiet system , just tested the latest version '3.5', it's nice!

very difficult to judge which exhaust you like by watching videos or looking at pictures. try to find a 6speeder in you area and experience it for yourself.

Just noticed a recent ad: seedart has a two way exhaust for the 07tt. When activated, the sound switch routes the exhaust note thru the muffler for a sporty sound, but when the sound switch is de-activated, the exhaust bypasses the muffler altogether giving straight pipes. Price is heafty $5.5K, but the two way switch sounds seem ideal. Anyone try this yet?? Web site www.speedart.us
