Fabspeed with no mufflers. that's how i have mine. a bit 2 loud for long trips but fun to see people lowering their windows just 2 listen to your car. i know some of the guys here at 6 speed don't like it BUT!!!... me personally... i love it. plus no woman has ever complaint. and that's the bottom line...

let us know!!!!

Dont go for the loudest exhaust, as in some cases makes the car sound too noisey.

I would suggest you to go for the AWE exhaust system , Tubi they sound terrific.

Ive also heared good things about the SuperSprint Exhaust, why dont you give it a try.

Fabspeed headers, cat bypass & mufflers sounds awesome and very loud.

I had the straight-pipes on my 4s and i loved them but had 2 problems:

1) because of the vibrations, I started to hear the screws squeak inside the car

2) cops would hear the car a couple of blocks away and would have their laser guns ready

Currently I have the AWE complete exhaust and I love it, its quiet when you cruise by and sounds amazing when you floor it.

Ditto what Bach said - I have the complete AWE system and you control how it sounds. Trying to be subtle around the neighborhood or in-town, keep the revs and load low. Still sounds great, just not too loud. Step on it or run flat on the track, and it's mechanical music, especially from say 4-7k.

Which one would be the best sounding option in your opinion, Arling?

I'm getting a T4S at the end of the year, and would like your opinion! I've heard Tubi, but they don't have cats or headers yet, but I love the sound.

u have budget limit?

we install quite few AWE full systems. love it. it sounds great & the performance u can feel. can't go wrong with it.

however, if $$$ is not an issue i suggest u look at Europipe. that's what i'll pick if i have a 997.

Tubi sounds ok imo. people always related it to Ferrari but since we're talking about flat 6 here i don't think Tubi is up there with other systems. i drove car with Tubi i thought it lost some low-end torque. could just be me but since u asked.

my take on the exhaust is that it doesn't have to be loudest but fits the personality of the car well. Porsche has to sound like a Porsche. loudness just doesn't cut it.

I'm not a big fan of loud exhaust, like Eisenmann. I'm also afraid of the dreaded drone in the cabin during crusing speed and rpms. I heard the Tubi exhaust on the Champion demo car, it sounds nice. However, I do agree that the full AWE sounds awesome as well. Decisions, decsions. I'll go look up a sound clip of Europipe. Thanks for the input!

consider driving the car without bumper cuz Europipe looks beautiful. it's a shame to hide it.

LOL!

I want a speedART style diffuser for the rear end, but they don't make one for the widebody...... I guess I can just strip the rear bumper and be different then
