I love the symphony coming from behind. It's an unleashed wild animal.
In terms of performance, none of the mufflers will give you a noticeable increase by itself. It goes as a team with a software upgrade and intake change. And you will notice the difference after that.
Roger, we've gotta have lunch or visit Sharky. My cab is done. I'll give you the details in person.

Officer ~"License and registration please"
Me ~"I can't find my registration but here's my license and insurance card"
Officer ~"Ok, hold on a sec"
about 5 mins of radioing and stuff later.
Officer ~"Here you go, just wanted to let you know that your right taillight is out"
Me ~"HuH?"

thanks to all for the replies.
I'm a very aurally stimulated guy, so I think I'm going to stick with my first choice of Tubi. That is unless I get a decent offer on my car as a trade towards a newer 996 or 997. I figure I need work done for maintenance, can discuss and see where that leaves me before I put more money into the car.
(It's hard to be pragmatic with a car like a 911 though)
