Ike, I had a SpeedArt exhaust (same MFR as the Brombacher units (loud version) on my 6sp 987 for a few years and I had 'zero drone' and loved the sound of it.

It was a bit pricey but the German quality was noticeable, also it was way lighter than the OEM unit.

That's interesting. Is the drone an issue with other exhausts on the 987 motors?
