Congrat's on the new ride... Normally you can tell visually if it's an aftermarket exhaust because they are typically stainless steel therefore they have a "shiny" look vs. the stock exhaust which has a dull look. I think most aftermarket exhaust are stamped by the manufacturer as well.
Sound is subjective but most guys on here upgrade the stock exhaust for more sound...

Welcome to the 6speed. I was a bimmer guy too. Had a e36 M3 and e46 M3 vert. I've had my 996 C4S for 2 years now. Been on this forum for about 4 months and been fighting the temptation to mod. Just had a new baby, so the funds aren't all there.

heh congrats. We have an 8 month old as well... so far she loves riding in the P-car! (the Graco infant seat fits in the back seat, as long as whomever is in the front has no legs!)

Thanks congrats to you as well. The orbit infant seat I have fits also. Although there is no leg room in the front. I agree she loves riding in the pcar as well. Unfortunately its a garage queen right now. Have you been looking into toddler seats? Was trying to figure out what I need to get in about a year.

The Recaro bases seem like they are too wide. I haven't actually bought one yet, I plan to park in front of Babies R Us and drag out all the seats and figure out which one I like best. Porsche makes a really nice one, but it's not cheap, about $600.
