Fab speed is rather loud, I think to loud. If I were to put a loud exhaust on it would be straight pipes for the track. AWE has done a nice job of getting the tone and power appropriate for the car. This is not a Civic its a $122k+ car, true it is fast but it is a refined fast so in my opinion AWE is the way to go it lets you know there is a exhaust with out slapping everyone in the face and saying look at me, and 23+ crank HP is nice. And mate that up with some software and it screams. Just my 2 pennies.

Bottom line is the FS gen 3 does NOT have a significant increase in these area and does not drone. So one can look at paper and determine if a system has more “drone” or is too loud over another. You need proper equipment like a SA that is of decent quality.

There are post all over this board like this
I just got my Fabspeed from Stephen at Imagine Auto. It is the new style with twin mufflers. First, the sound is terrific and not "droney". For the last week, I haven't turned on the CD or radio....I just listen to the exhaust :-)
If there was a better system out there I would be running it on my own car. As most will tell you they don't drive their TT daily....I do and I am too crabby to deal with any more droning or loud exhaust.

Also which one produces the most power and torque improvement?
Thanks.

As far as the request of being a little louder on the outside and not inside...Here is another post on another fourm. This is a bloke we sold to in Aussie land.
After installing the system today I really feel as though I NOW own a PORSCHE TURBO!!! The sound is just AWESOME!! From when you start the ignition to when you take off, everything just sounds so right!! Especially when you get to about 4000 RPM there is this crackle or bark that reminds me of the change in note when you get on the gas with a Ferrari 360. The note is beautifully tuned to accommodate the Turbos and most importantly eliminates drone. Sitting on the freeway at 110 KM in 5th or 6th Gear it sounds exactly the same as the standard exhaust...

Agree 100%

From what I hear on all the sound clips, the AWE system brings professionalism to the the sound of a tt Porsche. I sure don't want mine sounding like some bad-boy racer's 6-cylinder.
The tt is just too mature of a car for that. If I wanted the old fashion/civic 6-cyl sound, I would have stayed with my M3 with it's crappy rasp noise. 
However, I still have misgiving of tearing the entire back of my car off for a $6K expense. And too, it is not so much removing a good portion of the car, but finding a tech competent enough to get it all back together again correctly. That is the issue with me. If the AWE muffler system fits with just muffler removal, I'll have one very soon. .................................................. ............

I am sort of **** about testing parameters when it comes to these cars.
So my point is if you are wanting to do an exhaust don't let these things worry you. None of the systems out there regardless of brand should require this.

Stephen,
I don't think you can slide the stock muffler unit off the turbine studs far enough without hitting the rear shroud for removal. That was the impression I had from my install. Fortunately(!?!) Porsche supplied the car with crappy enough studs that they seize on the nuts and back out of the turbine flange holes - impressive engineering
