Upgrading exhaust decision

I have a 2012 PTT with the sports exhaust button, BMC air filter, Agency Power carbon fiber 3" air plenum and an EVOMSit plug in tune. I am now ready to install an exhaust system from then cats to the exhaust. I count over 12 different manufactures from Fabspeed, Eisenmann, Meisterchaft, Tubi, IPE Innotech, Akrapovic, Capristo, Kreissieg, Cargraphic, Agency Power, AWE Tuning, and Remus. For the price I am leaning towards the IPE Innotech as it has the valve feature, the exhaust, the xpipe, and cat bypass pipe all for around $5700.00. Anyone have any experience with this one? I am looking for an aggressive sound.
I am also trying to figure out if I want to do a GAIC tune instead of the plug in module by EVOMSit after I put the exhaust system in.

If you are interested in selling your sports exhaust once you've replaced it, I would be interested in buying it from you if the price is reasonable

That sounds good, what would you consider reasonable? Matt

Upgrading exhaust decision

I went through this decision a few weeks ago. I went with the Meisterschaft GTC (valved) catback exhaust just over a week ago on my 2011 PTT. for me it was the right balance between quality, features, sound, and price point. it has the wireless valve controllers.

I honestly could not be happier at this point in my experience. the sound is deep at low rpms - like an angry grumble - but screams at the higher revs. it sound awesome inside and out with the valves open.

with the valves closed it sound like the pse. no drone on the highway and tame enough to head out of the neighborhood at 5am to catch an early flight.

Thanks Beav! I am still deciding and its down to 2-3 with the valve option, I do want something aggressive but tame with the valves closed.

Hi, I'm curious what you thought of the Agency Power Y Pipe? I'm thinking about ordering one and wanted to see if their power claims are anything near what you experienced. My car is still stock and you have done several things but appreciate your feedback. Thanks and Happy Friday!

Just curious... when you guys do your exhaust etc upgrades, are you under warranty? Do these changes void the applicable parts of the warranty? Or are you not concerned either way?

Feeltherush, it doesn't void the warranty as I have done it with all my Porsches and they all have been certified and the dealer has done some of the mods for me and I still got things covered under warranty.

Oh that's awesome. So, newbie question, what are the cheapest, least intrusive, least likely to cause problems upgrades you can do?

Is the ipd plenum on the list?

I need to change the air filter on my turbo and wanted to see if there are any good options available for air filters and or cold air intake kits. I plan to do this as a DYI....not looking forward to taking the front bumper off!

Feeltherush, plenum BMC air filter and plug in tune are the easiest mods to do, I did them all myself.
