Britt,

I got mine from Brandywine. I found their service to be quite good and prompt. I paid $1550.00 + $30 for switch. Give Justin Lane a call 610-886-1000. I know a few others have used Brandywine for PSE too.

Hey Britt,

I had the Fabspeed exhaust on my C2 and have also played with the PSE system on my moms C4 cab. The Fabspeeds provide a deep throaty sound while the PSE has more of a raspy sound. The only resonance I heard from the Fabspeed was when I would blip the throttle while backed into the garage... no problems while driving. The Fabspeeds are also quite a bit lighter than the OEM system or the PSE. I would not say either gave the engine more power, but I do feel that the Fabspeeds allowed the engine to rev a bit quicker. Either way, I do not think you can go wrong.

PorscheAddict is infamous around these parts
Greyghost, I had the GHL exhaust on my old 996 and it wasn't as loud as I expected it. It was just a little louder than the stock exhaust. This is the reason I'm trying the Fabspeed, and I will let you know of my observations.

had the cold air intake and exhaust done. didn't really notice any increase in HP. did pheonix headers and Todd's ECU notice slight difference. i personally wouldn't do it again, i would have just bought a SC and exhaust for throater sound. must have forced induction for real HP gain. save up for the SC.
