From what I remember EB werks either stopped making the exhaust for the 996tt or they went under, but don't quote me.
As far as the fabspeed exhaust, a local friend of mine had there setup on his 996TT and the mufflers blew out the baffling about 3x, where he had to send the exhaust back to fabspeed each time for a repacking. At the end of the day, he put a speedtech 3" X-catless exhaust in and his car picked up almost 30whp under the curve just from swapping the exhaust. So def was a worth while change-over.

I wouldn't do straight pipes unless your a sadist. They are ridiculously loud and droney. You would get tired of them fast.
I had five different setups. Best one: speedtech 2.5 xflow. Great noise great flow cool turbo whistle and liveable.

fabspeed is garbage. it really is. absolute trash.
with your goals, i would get a straight pipe or "x" pipe.
for reference, this was my old 996 with an "x" design. no cats. (Built by Tim).. sounded like a gt3 in person .. lots of "howl" and you could ALWAYS hear the turbos whistling ..
i had a fabspeed gen 1 and gen 2 on my 996, then i had the "x type exhaust".
straight pipes sound pretty awful but make the most power..

Been saying this for years. Thier customer service is crap as well. At least my experiance anyway. Worst money I have spent on my TT by far!
Markski and John are both stand up guys who back their products. Can't go wrong with either.
