Cool,

That's a bummer... last thing you want is a headache when you take the car out for a drive!

I have the Fabspeed exhaust on my Boxster and the Growl is much louder when you punch the pedal. Big difference vs the OEM for sure...

I guess it boils down to the "eye" or in this case the "ear" of the beholder.

I really like the throaty GRRRROOOOOOOWWWWLLL.

that's too bad

but for the right price, I'd be willing to take it off your hands.

I think the noise is probably from your cold air intake which is right next to your ear.

hmmm...I didnt get one because I thought they were too muted for my tastes but I only heard it on the outside of the car.

Bottle up all of your drone and send it to me !!! The louder and more aggressive the sound is, the better. In fact, as of late, I've grown bored of my aftermarket exhaust, which incidentally, has a very race oriented sound, and I'm thinking of doing something drastic like swapping it out for a full on race exhaust . Then I'll back up to the front door of the nearest vegan cafe and let it rip !

It won't be cheap . It's a custom one off cat back from 9ff - complete with bypass pipes. It produces great sound that's not too aggressive .

i have been thinking about the fabspeed exhaust (cat back) but i like the price of the maxspeed exhaust better. after reading all the posts on exhaust i am left feeling very confused. Drone , resonance , decreased power , too loud, not loud enough at this point i'm like WTF ! I just want the car to sound slightly more aggressive it's just to muted with the factory silencer .
i could do without check engine lights , obsessive drone , loss of power and not need a loan to purchase.
