This is a great thread guys. I'm also looking to change out my exhaust system. My 996tt came with fabspeed exhaust when i bought it, and it's too loud at idle. I want something that's quiet at cruising speed on freeway, and sounds like that F77 video at WOT. It's hard to judge from all the YouTube videos, since they all sound the same to me.

I have not hear the PSE system in person but to my ears the AWE is the best sounding exhaust on the 997. The Tubi is very nice as well but the AWE sounds more like a Porsche should sound, IMO.
Here is the link to our web site with pricing and details.

I know I have posted this before but I went through a lot before I selected my mufflers. I heard Tubi at the track and down at Champion Motorsports and at Reeves Porsche, AWE at a car meet and Fabspeed at a dealer in NC. I also heard and drove PSE cars during my purchase and during a PDE in Birmingham.
they all sound good a lot the same for the basic note of the sound coming out of the exhaust. This is due to the engine being the same. The differences are in the volume of sound and the overall harmonics of the sound. Think of it this way...take 4 different styles of acoustic guitars and play the E string. Each will be the same not but different volumes and harmonically sounding...ie the tone of the guitar.
Tubi is the most quiet especially and idle and low throttle inputs. Tubi sound stock at idel and low throttle inputs. WOT has a bit of a european muffled and muted howl.
AWE has a low muffled muted sound with a puff or air in the sound. Louder than Tubi but not all that loud to me. AWE sound deeper than Tubi and a little deeper and more muffled sounding than Fabspeed.
PSE with the open mod has a raspy bark type of sound and good burble on decell. PSE is much louder than AWE or Tubi.
Fabspeed does not have the raspy bark of PSE but it sounds much more open than AWE and Tubi. There is some slight burrble on decell and at WOT the wail of the engine sounds Cup car like but muted. Fabspeed is louder than AWE and Tubi and about the same level of volume at PSE but a totally different harmonic to the Fabspeed sound.

Don't worry about dyno numbers...any exhaust system will provide negligible power gains no matter what the manufacturer claims. Most folks add exhaust systems because they want a better sound and maybe 5-10 hp increases so best to find some cars with the systems you're interested in and listen - sound clips don't do these systems justice. Good luck with your choice.

Kind of feels like I'm at a wine tasting.. "mmmm, yes.... I throroughly enjoyed the 2006 Tubi.... mellow with a deep note, subtle muted tones and not a hint of raspiness..."
