Fabspeed Exhaust -- Too Loud?

[jacabean]

i don't know what happened with the car i guess someone bought it . when i look at pictures of it i want to cry. that thing was such a badass. it just was not worth the headaches if i want to go fast i got the Evo x . after a drive in the evo my 3.2 feels like a civic . i still think the boxster is a better car , actually much better.

I have the Fabspeed exhaust also and in comparison to some of the other garbage exhausts I’ve had, it’s the best up next to PSE. The Fabspeed is music to my ears.

You could have a baffle system made or make it yourself. I’ve got a pic somewhere of what I’m talking about.

What you’re hearing and not liking is resonance. I don’t think the Fabspeed is bad at all. My dad put a Tubi exhaust on his GT and the resonance between 1500-2000rpm’s was really bad. Having the windows up in the car made your ears hurt it was so bad. He had a guy design these baffles for his “megaphone” tips. Night and day difference. The car has the stock interior sound with a beast outside.

Me? Yes, I have owned one of those deblowz or whatever they're called. It had the same resonance as the Stebro Race and GHL.

The quietest exhausts I've had were stock, Schnell sausage, and Dansk. Although the Dansk is no different than a stock muffler. And most of the exhaust setups are just the muffler. When I bought my Fabspeed it came with cat delete pipes also. I will say the Fabspeed is pricey but I would've saved a ton of money had I just went with the best, first.

I know a guy who has the B&B and he said there's no resonance otherwise his wife wouldn't ride with him.
