    New Car... Need help with exhaust choice

    This is my first post. Just purchased 997TT, car is getting radar/laser system installed, wheels, etc... BUT, I need an exhaust. I've spent the past 3 hours reading every post on the subject and it seems there is no clear winner between Tubi, Fabspeed, and Milltek. Am I missing something, or is this clearly user preference and all systems are similar?

    All systems are not similar at all, you will need to listen to them in person if possible.
    If you are looking for a significant change in exhaust note, I recommend the Cargraphic loud export exhaust, it is expensive but sounds rugged at idle and almost frightening at full boost, very happy with it.

    By the way, I *think* RC is now recommending against HIS Cargraphic model as he says it's too loud now it has burnt in - at least that's what I gathered from my pigeon-German over on the German Rennteam board.

    I agree 1000%.

    Sorry to sound like a self-rightous butt, but louder cars make bicyclists nervous and other drivers think you're a dangerous driver. Don't get me wrong; the sound is very cool, but I'm trying to be more considerate of others on the roadways. This after a lifetime of total nihilistic self-centeredness. (LOL, just kidding).

    I have the TUV Export version, same as RC and it slightly louder than stock and has a nice low rumble. Highly recommended.

    The CG export I heard was rediculously loud, the FS quiet sounded better, but stock ain't so bad afterall. I tell you my car sounds 100x better than the launch car I testdrove back in 6/06. They heard us and quietly changed the exhaust tone.
