997.1 Cargraphic or Tubi?

Just installed a Cargraphic Super Loud on my car and must say Im not 100% on it. I get a low resonance at idle and the fitment isn't the best. Yes I installed the exhaust myself, isn't that the fun of buying parts?

Calling you Tube owners, you still love your exhaust on the 997? What are the biggest differences on the Tube vs Cargraphics exhaust? Should I be looking at FVD also?

Thinking the Cargraphic has to go....but replace it with what?

I'm very happy with my Fabspeed and also hear good things about Tubi. I also had FVDs on my car before moving to the Fabspeed because my car had PSE but the PO installed the regular FVD versions and I wanted the PSE functionality back, which my particular Fabspeeds have. The FVDs sounded great and their build quality is excellent. I them before selling and they looked like brand new

The Fabspeeds are louder but these were also the quieter versions of the 2 offered by FVD.

Sorry, sold them in 2012 when I installed the Fabspeeds. Those were the pics I used in my ad back then. Think I sold them for $1,400 if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the kudos!

We offer several awesome upgrades for the 997.1. What are your goals for the car? Mild-to-wild, we can make it happen.

I'd personally go with our Maxflos & Sport Cat X-Pipe - deep, throaty tone and picks up a good bit of power as well (around +25whp/25ft-lbs). No Check Engine lights with the HJS 200 Cell Cats either.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions. I'd be happy to hook you up with forum pricing as well.

911nitis, I have the same Cargraphic mufflers as you. The previous owner had them installed before I bought the car. They fit perfectly on my car. I have since added both the Cargraphic 200 cell X-Pipe and the new long tube headers. I love the way my car sounds (burbles) especially better shifts at lower speeds & down shifts. At WOT the sound is glorious.

Does anyone else notice 200 cell cats usually last 1 year. IMHO, aftermarket mufflers add little increase in hp, just a nicer growl. I am going to have S-Car-Go in San Rafael, Ca. just modify my muflers.

umm, no. I've had my Fabspeed 200 cell X-cats with incorporated HJS units since 2012. No CELs.
