Your favorite aftermarket exhaust: High-end to Low-end
 

I am certain majority of the members here love a nice exhaust note. With that thought in mind, I am curious to hear of your favorite aftermarket exhaust.

Please do include all high to low-end :).

A sound clip if available would be a fantastic addition as well.

following this post.

On the 986 I run catless mid pipe with the FVD Brombacher Sound Version muffler.

Mid pipes with no cats and the FVD Brombacher “Sound Version” muffler.

Sweet, sweet music.

I'm running cheap ebay headers, mid pipes w/ 200 cell cats, and a cheap ebay muffler.
Shaved a ton of weight, sounds great at any rpm, and drones like a sunuvabug around 4k rpm.

What is a good standard procedure to make a sound clip? When I have tried recording in the car, either the wind noise is too loud or the closed car muffles the sound too much. Revving the car to red line or near sitting still doesn't seem like a good idea either.
It would be great if we had recordings done with a set method so we could compare same conditions for same.

I’m running 200cell midpipes with FVD Brombacher Sound Version. Sounds amazing and no drone.

Square-Root,..what does a 200 cell refer to ?? Thanks Frank

Fvd brombacher sound version.

I would like to know this as well, phone quality doesn't sound great being inside the car, or outside holding it from the rear of the car as someone is revving it.
I would guess having some device like a go-pro mounted to the car would be good? don't own one, but videos I've heard with them mounted sound pretty good.

I'll play around with some sound clips on mine.
Fabspeed 200cell headers, fabspeed testpipes, Billy&Boat muffler

I run this;

Of course, I adapted my LQ9 6.0 LS to it. Sounds fabulous! Especially with ear plugs, but what the hey.

And no, I can't get a good audio track of what it sounds like. I either get lots of wind noise followed by banging and scraping sounds when my phone falls off, or it rings and I have to pull over to remove the duct taped phone from the bumper and answer it. Lol!

Seriously, if you want a complete FabSpeed set up including including headers back to the center exit point I'd make them a good deal. All stainless so no rot and nothing has been cut. It will need new gaskets regardless. I imagine it would be pretty loud but I bought the car with a bad motor so not 100%v sure on that.

I agree sound clips can only give you a general impression. I took a sound level measurement at one time, posted in a thread around somewhere.

My FVD sound version was louder no drone but not too loud. My indy did not think it was loud enough, all pretty subjective.

Would like some 200 cell cats on it though, help it breath a little better.

FVD Brombacher Sound Version with Fabspeed mid pipes. IMO sounds fantastic, no drone. No sound clips but there are some on YouTube.

Mid pipes with FD Motorsports Fister mod exhaust:

That sounds great! And I love the lift off throttle burble!

I got ebay headers, 200 cel cats and the FVD Sound version. I love the sound and I´m pretty sure I have found a few more ponies..

However I would say that it drones a bit around 3000rpm.. Still worth it.
I just wonder how people with this FVD-system and just the midpipe can say there is no drone... Can it be more drone with 200 cel cats then with catless mid-pipes? Or is it my headers? Any theories?

Jic Magic exhaust and secondary cat bypass. No drone, sounds great.

I plan to replicate this guy's custom exhaust.

This is the best sounding one I've heard so far at a good cost.

Muffler delete? I'd assume that's not legal? It does sound great though.

UK car so only one pair of cats. Cheap sports manifolds, 200 cell cats, Carnewal modified exhaust.

B & B exhaust without headers, sounded fine except the drone drove me nuts. Video the prior owner took after exhaust install:

I like my BLF exhaust. To me it was the least rice-sounding one out there for a good price. Adds a nice deep drone to the inside noise, but not too loud. The pipes are pretty good size with minimal bends, so it definitely helps the engine exhale better.

After much experimentation I have settled on the Danks oe type stainless with minimal interior packing, Fabspeed Primary Sport cats & ceramic coated midpipes.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1598806459.jpg

FVD Brombacher “Sound Version” muffler with secondary cat delete pipes. Zero drone and pure flat 6 sound om acceleration, and almost as quiet as stock when cruising. Highly recommended!

Dansk muffler here. Rest of the exhaust system is stock. Slightly more aggressive sound and no drone. Overall happy with the sound and definitely with the quality and workmanship of the product

Fabspeed supercup. These leave the primary cats and replace the midpipes and muffler. IMHO, they are WAY too loud and drone when the car is under throttle. Folks outside the car say they sound great, but I dont enjoy driving the car anymore. my fault, but I dont like them.

Price just dropped
 

I just noticed the price dropped as well. They seemed too dear to me at $2K but worth considering now they are 50% off. Maybe. I still like their headers and am considering the 100 cell cats and then working with local muffler shop and trying to fit some Borla or Magnaflow mufflers and doing some type of x-pipe to minimize drone. But might just be easier to get these and the headers etc.

I am bias..
 

Black Night, many moons ago (12-13yrs) ago the Cayman site (now Planet 9) had a group buy of the SpeedArt exhaust (same manufacturer that makes the FVD Brombacher), I joined the group for the Sport version (loud), and I was very happy with my choice as the sound is awesome and the exhaust is top quality with literally 'zero drone' this was important as my 987CS was my daily driver, therefore I am bias on this exhaust and if the price is right you may want to jump on it.. :rolleyes:

which price dropped?
 

price of what dropped? FVD "sound version" muffler is the same price it's always been, $1,299, plus shipping

Headed in another direction, any interest out there for this exhaust? I’ll post up next week in parts, but you guys get first crack. Don’t even have 100 miles through them. 1500 plus tax and shipping new. Entertaining offers but be realistic please. I’ll bet there is some local interest with the racers

Hey, what kind of headers are you using? Catted headers or no cats?

I consider running: Catless headers -> catless midpipe -> FVD Sound Version. I hope it won´t be too loud.
