I notice the Tubi's are 2x the price of the AWE and the Fabspeed. Is it worth it? I have only heard them online so far. I plan on going to the dealer as Burg Boxster recommended. Anyone heard an Innotech on a 997.1? Sounds awesome on the DFI and is a valvtronic so i can shut it off if I so choose (yeah right!).

The polished fit and finish is outstanding .
Pricewise and performancewise the AWE is really great though .
I really had a tough time choosing but i had to pick one . I did pick the Tubi / F77 package . I have several friends who love the AWE system and i happen to like it too.
I did hear both in person but io describe the exhaust notes is alnmost like asking someione what type of music he likes .

To the OP, I live near Portland and have the full AWE exhaust (headers, cats, and mufflers). Very happy with the sound. Not extremely loud but very noticeable over stock. Quality is excellent and AWE has great customer care. Let me know if you ever want to hear it in person.

Tubi at above 4k rpm has more bark and bite and then on decelleration more grumble than AWE. AWE is quieter more muffled sound all around and is not as raspy as Tubi. Fabspeed which I had on my 2006 and 2007 is in between the AWE sound and the raspy Tubi sound but there is a some drone to the sound at 2000-2700rpm. There is ZERO drone with Tubi.

Good comments to hear.....
just bought a Tubi + factory "S" tips for my 2006 C2. Liked the car, not the (lack) of factory sound nor the oval pipes. Look forward to installing the system and 4,000+ RPM.....Mike

do the gundo first (which is what i have) to hear if the exhaust note suffices. for me it was like night and day and all for a couple hundred dollars. I was fixed on getting a tubi (actually sounded more like an italian exotic to my ears which isn't a bad thing combined with some significant weight saving) but right now, i'm fine with the gundo + X51 headers. and i can say that it's "OEM" too
