I have always wanted a more aggressive exhaust note for my 01 986 S. I first tried the cheap Ebay exhaust and the droning was just too much for me. Next I went back to the stock exhaust but added the PSE style pipes that allow a bit of the exhaust to bypass the muffler and go directly to the tips. No drone and a tiny bit louder but just OK. This week I replaced the secondary cats with the pipes off Ebay and think I have the right combination. Great raspy sound on acceleration (sounds aggressive but not obnoxious), no droning and not much louder while cruising at 2-3,000 RMPs. I'm very happy with this combination.
