Go with after hours performance. Great new product and unlike anything on the market plus the advantage of being lightweight. I am in NO way affiliated with the company or any entities of the company. Just looked at all that's available and this is the right choice.

do a search on After Hrs and M&K exhaust here. Go to the sound clips - you will like these they do not drone out ....
and they are reasonably priced.....

You're opening up a world of debate, again, it's the never ending question.
For pure Porsche sound it has to be Porsche Sports Exhaust, there is no other. If that's out of budget try the PSE hack. I went for Manthey sport mufflers, alot lighter than stock or PSE and sounds like a Cup car at wide open throttle... glorious.

I went with Agency Power Exhaust mufflers and schnell dual tips. The AP's are nice, throaty and minimal interior noise, definitely not too loud outside 'cept when your ripping through gears at high rpm's. Nicely built and so far I have no complaints with 1K on em. It's just gonna come down to what your ear likes. GL

I went with Fabspeed. Just the mufflers, not the cats, and I am happy with them. The exhaust offers a nice, deep rumble when you fire the car up, and nice, deep, and louder exhaust note when you drive off. The sound is very tolerable while driving through town, without the cabin drone of some of the louder exhausts. Sounds great (and louder) at 3500+ rpm. I liked the PSM first, but Fabspeed was almost a thousand less.

I was able to improve the sound and performance of my car without being too obnoxiously loud. My goal was not to be in a noise competition with every riced-out car driving teenager on the road with a fart pipe. (Although the next time I had the car out a Pontiac Trash Can tried to race me at the light.)

Love listening to the 966 with all the different exhaust options to be had.

I hardly ever listen to the stereo very loud. It's all about the flat6 orchestra when I take my p-car out.

Mojo,
pls post when your new system is in place.
