I was going to buy it from Todd, but if price is right maybe I will. Problem is, if he is changing it already, it must be really too loud. I also want to explore the Cargraphics exhaust as I do not want to go through these 2nd thoughts again. BTW, PM me and we can discuss price. List with enlarged X50 tips is $4500+, I had the exhuast installed Tuesday and have about 150 miles on it. Anyway let me know. I would need your stock tips though as I sent my old tips to europipe. Check out www.europipe.be for confirmation of my numbers. Unfortunately, they seem not to want to discount at all and I got the feeling they may not like doing business with americans. Although, they did give me great service.

If you are interested, I have a B&B GT system for sale. It only has about 500 miles on it. Too loud for my preference. Went back to a more subdued system. List was $1,800. Make me a reasonable offer. The system is really well built with 100 cell cats.

Lou,
I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I have the Fabspeed loud exhuast. I could meet you halfway somewhere if you want to hear it in person. It is definately not for the faint of heart but I love it! My wife hates it! Oh well!
It is the best sounding exhaust for a turbo Porsche in my opinion very throaty and mean sounding. I get compliments all the time on the exhuast and people always no your car is not stock with the fabspeed.
It is loud inside even when cruising at a steady rpm but I wouldn't trade it for any other exhaust. It has been dyno proven to add 20 to 30 hp can't remember exactly.
Let me know if you want to hear it first hand! By the way I have the unichip and EVO DV's and EVO short shifter. The car has somewhere around 500 hp.
ps: I agree with Evan you guys are a bunch of wimps, FABSPEED FOREVER!

Are you suppose to send your old tips back for stage II? I just ordered mine and they didn't mention anything about it.

I sent my tips back becuase they gave me a little money off the price and paid my shipping and insurance if I would send them my tips

I would love that, thanks alot. Let me know what is convenient for you and we can meet. If it is to much hassle to meet me halfway, I guess I can drive to you. I really appreciate it. PM me if it is possible.

Evan - I am only 23 so not that old !!! I dont mind the loudness just not all the time (this is my only car right now!!).
I actually got pulled over last night for the first time in a while and Im betting the loudness had something to do with attracting the attention....I wish there was a switch like the factory 996 sport exhaust to make it loud or quiet depending on the mood...
Anyway, I really want a quiet one now so if anyone is interested in a trade or soemthing let me know

Very untrue, you can hear stero on setting of 2 (quiet), and I talk on my phone, and to passengers no problem. Its really not as bad as everyone is making it out to be....

But seriously, with the loud, I couldn't hear the stereo until I turned it up past the point at which I could hear the radar detector! Acck! That's a big problem in Scottsdale, land of the speed trap (Macon county West).
Still, the loud system sounded absolutely phenomenal at WOT.
I hate to say it, but without hearing both, it's not really possible to make the right decision for your own situation. Todd at EVO was nice enough to let me listen to several different systems before finally deciding (on the Fabspeeed Sport, i.e., less loud but not exactly quiet system ).
