Drone is actually quite useful - ever had a passenger that talks non-stop (wife, girlfriend, annoying mate etc)? Drone fixes this issue.

Got any photos of your Gemballa exhaust ? I bet that M&M in Germany made it for them.

I had a Gemballa exhaust installed shortly after getting my Boxster S and all I can say was I absolutely hated it. Was better than the stupidly loud and eafening Stebro one (despite them telling me theres no drone and sounds great) but that thing was horrible and was deafening, ear splitting and migraine inducing with no relief in sight in any gear or rpm with the only relief that consists of parking the car, turning it off and walking away to recover for the next 45mins to work off the ringing ears and migraine. Absolutely brutal and don't know how people live with that
Gemballa was only a little better but still droned like a pig between 1800rpm to 3500rpm's. Sounded really great above that but not worth the 95% compromise though. Maybe it's just me but thsoe 2 experiences have traumatised me enough to develop PTSD whenever I think of changing out the muffler. I'm willing to give it one last go with the cargraphic system though and that's it.

Anybody had any experience with it? Have heard the various sound files but its never going to be a true indication of what it's really like in real life and in-cabin especially.
