For what it's worth here is a page that has sound clips of a remus on a 02 boxster, you will have to scroll down to the near bottom..

to clips from Trent Carter site. Here is the link. Right click and save the vids. I was going to get a SuperSprint but found not sound clips or research except for BMW and Mini Cooper cips. My overall impression is that it sounded almost Rice Rocket like. No pun against that but no my thing. Wanted deepr, Ferrari like. The BB site clip didn't sound good to me. Heard quality wasn't as good either. Lots of rave reviews on the GHL by its owners, except for 1 on the PPBB. Coombo the Evo High Flow and the GHL, I think she will sound mean and aggressive. Will love it!! IMHO.

No resonance at 3K. The note is mellow and throaty. It's definetly not an over aggressive sound. At WOT the intake is louder (inside the car) than the exhaust. The wife doesn't mind riding in the car with this exhaust. She hate the B&B that I had on my 968. It was too loud with alot of resonance.
I didn't notice a loss in torque, but I felt a gain in the 4k plus range.

If you are in the Nothern Virgina area you are more than welcome to come and have a listen.

I listened to the Remus sound clip and souded pretty good but I'm not sure if it would be a big enough increase in sound level for me. If I drop several bills on a cat-back system I want to know I just did if you know what I mean. I think the GHL is the way to go if you don't mind some in cabin resonance. That exhaust scares little children and turns anyone's head that is within a 2 block radius at WOT.

I bought the Remus exhaust but have not installed it yet due to a back injury. Before buying, I spoke to B&M Racing (the U.S. distributor for Remus of Austria), they told me the Remus exhaust is a only a few decibels louder than stock. The difference is in the deeper sound "note". If you are looking for a big increase in sound volume, then the Remus is not for you. Once I install the Remus, I will gladly post my first hand experience.
