My next upgrade is plenum throttle body.
I have the FVD Brombacher as well with headers, and test pipes. I was really expecting the car to be loud. But I am very happy with the FVD. Like mentioned above it has a great note, and no drone at cruising speed. But for me, when I get the car up around 5k it lets out a nice bark and really has that Porsche flat 6 growl.

I am liking the feedback; I don't want loud, droning, but nice deep tone

I will try and remember to get a db reading at idle and 3k. Iforgot to get a stock reading, but will give you an idea.

This muffler is one of my favorite modifications. I have had it for maybe 6 years and I added test pipes a few years ago. Zero drone and barely louder than OEM when cruising, but awesome flat 6 sound upon any acceleration, especially full throttle and high RPM. Highly recommended!

Replaced Rear Track Arms. Actually bought a 21mm combi wrench, unlike a couple guys on YT who used channel locks to hold the nut.
Thanks CJ_Boxster for the tutorial.
