Stop reading countless threads about exhausts. Go buy yourself a Europipe system and be done with it. It's everything you just described.

I was tempted by Europipe and AWE as all reviews from other owners were excellent and Stef and Mike were very knowledgeable and great to speak with....but the tone of the BBI appealled to me most - All subjective of course.

The exhaust has a long way to travel (California to Canada) but I will post clips when available. I am attaching the YouTube clip that won me over..and you can see in the related clips that come up, the quad tips are pretty cool (even for an old guy!)

You've made a great choice. BBI builds an awesome exhaust with a great sound. I have seen and listened to all the most popular exhaust systems out there for the 997tt (live auditions) and I liked the BBI sound the best. It is purely subjective, but BBI had the closest thing to a naturally aspirated exhaust note out there for me. It's as GT3 as you can get on a turbo charged car.

I had the AWE system prior to on my car and really liked it. The sound was great, build quality was superb, and there was no drone as advertised. AWE builds a great product too, but when I heard the BBI system, I had to have it. Now with the BBI cat deletes on, I'm in heaven everytime I mash the throttle!!!!

Changing the catalyst is the primary and most important piece of cork in the entire
system... (?)

Stock exhaust WILL RESONATE BETTER with increased mileage...

Sound is a personal choice. Find members in your area and ask for an audition on the brands your interested in. Each car has its own subtle difference as well so no two are identical.

How come no one ever references my video? Betim and his crew make a good set of cans.
