New Exhaust for my 02 996 C2

Going to be buying a new exhaust for my 02 996 C2: Here's the list of known exhaust I've heard of, including feedback:

1. Fabspeed (medium quality, medium sound)
2. B&B (low quality, medium sound)
3. Afterhours (prob too loud for everyday use and will drone, but kick *** sound)
4. Borla (excellent quality & sound, but won't fit 996 except GT3)
5. Mod for stock exhaust (quality depends on who does the work, but good sound)
6. Tubi (Excellent quality, very expensive, good sound)

Any feedback is welcome, including anything I missed that I can research.

Thanks!

Fabspeed has a good product for the money, but if cost isn't the main factor - Cargraphic. Here's a used set: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...996-c2-c4.html

Check out Max speed. I am very happy with there product. I ended up buying a complete exhaust off of them. In my opinion I think Tubi is the best sounding, but it was not in my budget.

I have the full exhaust from Fabspeed...headers, sport cats, and mufflers and it makes great power and great sound. I recommend the whole performance packagae from them.If you do the full exhaust may as well do the computer as well.

Check out the M&K on youtube. Very aggressive sound and made from 321 stainless: more durable than 304 although it cannot be polished.

I've had B&B mufflers on my 99 996 C2 for 6 years and love them, well built and sound great. They come alive above 4k rpm. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. Contemplating headers for a spring project but get conficting opinions on weather they actually make an improvement or not?

I myself am in the market for exhaust setup, Ive heard the bypass pipes, and under some circumstance they sounds awesome, but they were droning in car at low rpms,

You should definitely consider Cargraphic. The sound qualities are awesome, with no interior droning. And they're on sale right now at a great price!
