Just found this on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jidkIn3-MJw&NR=1

The GT3 cup car sound is intoxicating. I know Afterhours Automotive ($1,100), GMG ($2,200-2,500) and Fabspeed Motorsports ($895) makes cup style exhausts - these are high flow and low weight designs. They all look like HQ pieces. If drone is an issue for you, these may not be it for you, especially if you are thinking about adding headers and/or cats later. Fabspeed even has a disclaimer recommending use only on the track
I am in the process of getting stock mufflers modified for sound (ie: gundo or fister mod) - I have took off the mufflers and started up the car - the cats are where the restriction and power is.... the car sounded like a GT3 cup car during idle and with revs, it crackles and screams! Awesome....
I spoke to a few mechanics and a few Porsche techs, all say the same thing - dont waste your money on that stuff. You will like it when you first buy the exhaust, but will get sick of the loudness. If it is a daily driver, you may want to think twice. If it is a weekend machine, you can pick and choose when you drive it. If you have had performance exhausts in the past and you enjoy the sounds, then you are already there! I am going for the modified mufflers as I have to stay budget minded ($250 with the donor mufflers) - got a sweet deal on ebay.
Have you also considered the Cargraphic? This has different sound levels and seems to be the closest to the original air cooled sounding models. Tubi sounds seem to emulate more of the Italian variety - more like Ferrari - who ever said that was a bad sound!?!
Enjoy the research and final mode...to me, the research is half the fun!

Great advice- I'm thinking Gundo vs Exhaust setup and the feedback above helps, thank you! Question, if going Gundo route - is a Fabspeed or FVD Bypass significant to the sound (or performance if any) ??
