I'm loving it! A much nicer ride than my 2006 C2S, but I'm still stinging from the beating I took on a highly optioned C2S with only 5,000 miles. Oh well, its only $$$....

thanks!

I missed this post until now . Regarding droning -- I like the note of the Tubi yet that's not to say that at a steady 2500 RPM the cabin isn't different than stock . It's a louder exhaust .

Most of these exhausts sound amazing at start up and at high revs but the mild resonance sacrifice is near negligible to me.

I did have the Tubi as well in my 997S car (along with the F77) package . No matter how much I would like the Turbo to have that seamless normally aspirated snarl --it won't .

I will say this though -- comparing the 997S Tubi and the 997Turbo Tubi at high RPM the Turbo blows it away . I have never driven or riden in any car which offers both the drive and sound acheived with the combination of mods in this car .

I am still beaming with that new car smile every time I drive it . The novelty simply refuses to erode.
