Exhaust?

Is agency power any good? I see there is a set available for $850.00. That is cheap in comparison to the competition making 997S exhaust systems. Just was wondering if anyone had this system and what they thought in comaprison to other systems? (fabspeed, tubi, PSE)

The mufflers are advertised on their website as $950.00;
EVOMS mufflers are $1095.00
Fabspeed Mufflers are $1150.00
AWE Mufflers are $1195.00

To get a full exhaust system you would still need to purchase headers, and cats. Doesn't seem like a huge difference in cost to me.. Either way, I probably wouldn't go with a JDM company for Porsche exhausts (regardless of cost).

I agree, stick with something German(ruf, gemballa, or similar tech art cargraphic, etc) made or fabspeed as they make quality stuff.

fabspeed

I recently installed the fabspeed. Its a great exhaust.

The only negetive point is that they make the outside look so nice and polished, But the inside welds are not the greatest. I think a little more attention should be given to the inside.

The techart or even eisenhaus systems have much cleaner welds on the inside.

inside is crap? i thought it would be important to have the inside in good condition for flow of air.
right? wrong?

Not crap, but definitly can be improved.

Yeah, the smoother the better. I would assume.

Im curios to see the welds on the AWE system.

Correct. Stop on up to our facility and I will show the steps we take on the inside as well as the outside. Bring a camera.

I ordered the fabspeed system. It sounds very good on their website. I like the fact you save 28 lbs with this system.

golfman1-

What was it about our system that you did not like?

Just trying to get some feedback.

Thanks!

Mike, There was nothing about your system that I didn't like. I considered your system, I liked the tone of it on the website. I really went with the fabspeed for conveniece. I ordered the Evo vflow intake and since I was getting that I order the fabspeed from Evo at the same time on their website. It is kind of funny the system is $1095.00 from Evo and $1150 if you go direct to fabspeed. Make me a good deal on your headers and cats and you'll have my business. lol
