i have some clips on my thread of my GTS (N/A) with fabspeed x-pipe and PSE. also, Flo ('proud new owner 13 GTS)has some before and after of his GTS w/PSE and magnaflow x-pipe installed. Definitely a huge difference in price between the two options. The N/A engines are going to naturally be louder than the turbo but it will give you an idea. Not sure that there is a distinguishable difference between Fabspeed and magnaflow but i wouldn't hesitate to spend the money again for the amount of thrill and pure joy i get from the exhaust note. it's aggressive, on and off throttle.

i'll see if i can get those clips copied over here

 

below are some clips of cold start, start up and a few from inside cabin. i don't have any exterior drive by's but will see if i can get some put together. GTS with fabspeed x-pipe

Thanks for both sets of these clips, RDR142- I've heard other GTS exhaust clips before and they all seem to be great but they're all very different from the muffled Turbo sound. I was hoping for a modified turbo clip after hearing from several forum members that they have exotic sounding exhausts.

 

Bam...
vid with sounds in original post at top of thread, Click Here as well.

 

Thanks ciaka! Definitely deeper/louder tones at idle and low rpm revs like you've mentioned. It seems to lose the growl at higher rpm revs

 

Yes and thanks for reposting, ciaka - poor form on my part for not checking top of your thread for updates. As Deezflip noted the aggressive sounds are more pronounced w/ the x-pipe. Assuming your car has PSE?

 

If pse = porsche sport exhaust, then yes.
From exhaust on my other pcar, you want loud, take off secondary cats. Biggest change, but invasive sound in cabin when driving.
Low tones definitely added with xpipe. Even phone mic mot a good representation as it doesnt capture the low tones well.
Even mechanic not uh ced immediately afted first start, but I co uk ldnt since i was in cabin. Noticed once he climed in and I climbed out to listen.

 

A lot of extra growl comes from cat delete - especially with the exhaust valves open. (if so equipped) I have Akrapovic and the valves open provide straight pipe/partial muffler bypass and a wonderful symphony of German V8 glory.

 

Love how aggressive your car sounds.

off-topic but what are your wheel/tire specs?

 

It’s too bad there is compressions where the cross brace is, this kind of negates the “straight through” value...
