I had Fabspeed on my 996, and now have Fabspeed on my 997S, and am happy. They cost about $1,000. However, make sure you speak to them on the phone and ensure you're getting a set that was made in USA- I think they've experimented with some made in China and they're crap: sloppy welds, poor fitment (requiring pipe modifications to install), and almost no sound difference.
SuperSprint is really nice, made in Italy. Not too many here have it.
Tubi, sold by Champion is, in my opinion, overpriced at somewhere around $3k. But none would deny that it's a top quality product.
Ignore HP claims, and do mufflers for the sound. As I said, I've been happy with Fabspeed. Here's a link to my car on YouTube with stock vs. Fabspeed:

I will try to update it this weekend with some drive-by footage.
Or you can consider the DIY mod, which connects the in/out tubes on the OEM mufflers.

I have heard some good things about Softronic recently. I think what makes them unique is that they have some kind of feature where if you buy a new car, you don't have to pay from scratch to flash your ECU on the new car- they give you some kind of credit for what you paid on your first car. Additionally, they make it easy to return your ECU to stock in case you're nervous about Warrantee issues at your dealer.
They claim the following on a 997S: from stock 355hp to tuned 389hp. From stock 295TQ to tuned 330TQ. Their price is around $900.

Well, I was thinking of somewhere around $1,300 OBO for the exhaust w/o the stock tips, but I'm open to offers. The system retails for $2,480 through GMG (a little less expensive that Champion) w/o tips. At least that's what I'm thinking, but I'm open to offers.
We installed the springs today and I love the stance. We finished up the alignment around 6pm so I didn't get a chance to drive her, and Matt Dreese is coming by tomorrow to do a full detail. I will know how she drives tomorrow with the springs and I will also be posting some pictures! Skip at Skip's Wheelwerks repainted the Carrera Sport Wheels matte black, which looks amazing against the yellow!
I love the sound of the Tubi system and the construction is amazing! I'm pondering the idea of getting a full AWE (Headers, Cats, Exhaust) system during the next few weeks, so that's why I'm thinking of moving on.

Sounds like you modded that bad boy right from the start, bro! Looking forward to the pics and its good to hear that the springs worked out!
I'm considering TUBI exhaust as well, so I may PM you with an offer.

I have Evo Intake, Headers, Mufflers and AWE Cats. I love the sound of it, but I am not sure that I would want it in a Cab! It is Loud and the sound would get to me over time.
If you do like the sound, then look at the Evo Exhaust, you have a few other parts from them, good stuff IMO.

Hey guys, sorry for a bit of delay...it was a full day at work!
The Tubi exhaust is ~6 to 8 months old; ~5,000 miles; in good to excellent condition (especially if I scrub and polish it); asking $1,300 OBO.
Yeah, I guess I could keep the Tubi system and just got with either the AWE or Tubi headers and the AWE cats. I'm kind of a matching freak at points...I guess that's why I'm thinking about it. We're all kind of particular like that in some way when it comes to our cars...
