. OP should email stef and ask his advice.And re EP1. The 997tt's engine is a completely different animal with its VTG turbos. EP1 is more than loud enough inside when the revs are loitering in the "drone zone"....1800 to 2800 rpms.

I've narrowed my choices - Europipe , Cargraphics and the Fabspeed moderate exhaust.
Because of price only, I'm leaning more towards the Fabspeed. After all the reading I've done, I hear conflicting accounts of drone/no drone. What are some members experiences with this product and others. I want to get as close to right the first time as I can.
My upgrade list is not huge. Exhaust, flash & diverter valves. Probably going with UMW for the flash.
This spring I'll do the coilovers if it feels like I need them. Car has the sport suspension option. It also is sitting pretty low now, might have had previous suspension work. It's hard to tell as I have the winter all weather Nokian 235/40 and 295/35 tires. I am drifting before anything else.
Last thing, my garage is subterranean and has a shorter steep ramp. I am rubbing the front spoiler no matter the angle of attack, both in and out. Are there any options to correct this.
I know it's a long post. I really am enjoying the 996, it's a whole different animal than my previous 911's. The car is tight now.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

To me the EP2 loud drones in the 2k range in the big k24 turbo cars, not so with the k16 cars. What constitutes drone however is very subjective from person to person

On the second part of your question about your lip scraping, is this a garage just for you, or shared? If it's just for you, why not just put a couple of pieces of wood down where the angle changes?

Exiting is ok now, I still get a little rub entering at the bottom of the drive.
Taking a run on the Autobahn Friday to have a Cargraphic installed at their shop. My nav says 3 hours, 10 minutes, we'll see! They want me there at 8:am.
