Exhaust for a 2011 997 4S

Hi guys

I just picked up a low mileage 2011 4S with PSE. I find the PSE far too mild even with the valves open. I want something loud but not compromising the Porsche sound.
I've been researching exhaust options online and on here and i'm down to FVD (race or PDK), cargraphic (start with side mufflers and bypass) or Tubi. Don't like the AWE's.
It would be great if anyone on here with these systems on their DFI cars can help me out with clips and/or db test numbers as i can't seem to find anything on db levels anywhere.

I'm open to suggestions on other exhaust systems too. How are Scart exhausts? they sound pretty good, not sure of the build quality etc though

I can definitely recommend the FVD Street Sports exhaust.
There are some good exterior sound clips/vids on their site which are very accurate.
I also posted some interior sound clips here:

Awesome! thanks for that. Have you ever done a db test on it?

No I haven't. But I can tell you that I don't need to find a tunnel to enjoy the sound
It is a definite head turner, but in a good way. I've had many people pull up next to me on the street, or walk up in parking lots to ask about and compliment the sound.

It's just a very pure sounding system.

Have you looked into the Fabspeed product line?

We have an array of products that suite every customers needs. In my personal opinion I would highly recommend a set of our Sport Headers you'd be replacing the factory 600-800 cell per square inch factory headers that are bulky and restrictive. Our Sport Headers are made with 200 cell HJS sport catalytic converters that are imported from Germany. You will not throw any CEL's while picking up +13 hp and +16ft/lbs of torque saving 4 lbs over all. In addition you'll be increasing overall volume and sports car sound while keeping the stock PSE allowing you to open and close like you have been doing.

Please let me know if you had any questions, I'd be happy to assist!

Those look very nice. I like the idea of them working with the PSE too. But $2,995 is a bit steep for headers....at least to me. But, very nice looking.

A big part of the price is going to be the HJS cats that we uses. They are best cats money can buy and are well worth the price point!

Vote for Cargraphic here. yes, its what I have. OP, why not try cats first... being a DFI car, you .2 owners don't get the best engine tone those of us with the .1's do.


Thing I like about the cats vs headers is the price being around half, and ease of install, although the entire system is quite simple install.


No offense to our US companies out there....but theres something about a German made exhaust I like on my German car.


Ive not had good luck with US based exhaust companies over the years....
yes, Plural.

I have the Sharkwerks bypass on my GTS. Sounds phenomenal and you can keep the PSE system. No better option IMO

Yes the cargraphics are definitely sounding good. They sent me a video and it sounds great. I'm thinking I'll start with the cat back system before i add on headers

On a separate note. Has anybody got a Kline exhaust done on their car. Seems they do titanium and inconel exhausts too. Wondering how good they are.
