Yes they are. Tubi is quiet at idle too. Fabspeed sounds more like a muffled cup car until wide open above 5500rpm.

Ahhh yes, AWE rocks the house. I have been running AWE on my 997S for about a year now and the power and sound is AWEsome!

Again a similar characteristic sound as stock, but considerably louder. The car has a real hard top end charge. I would buy the system again.

Ditto every single word above except I have 2000 miles experience on my car.
