check out the 996 forum on rennlist,,,there are a few threads on this,,,,i have an 02 C2 and for £2k,you can keep it...I like the current noise,,have heard they get louder after a few k miles on standard...from reading posts,there is no discernable diff in power,,,,seems like on a new car you have to go with official exhaust rather than after market so that you keep the manufacturers warranty.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm planning to get the Porsche sports exhaust fitted in the VERY near future - however, my car's a '99 model 996. I've done loads of research on Rennlist (and here) and the concensus seems to be that the '02 996's have more sporty sounding standard exhausts than prior years. Your exhaust will also get louder (a bit) with a few k miles. I suggest you hear a '02 sports exhaust before you buy one!
i heard a 3.6L with sports exhaust and it was lovely and growly. for an earlier 996 i can reccomend the fabspeed exhausts from 911 design. it was really well made from stainless steel, about 25kgs lighter and made it sound like one of the earlier air cooled cars. well worth £700. Bennno
Have just bought an 02 911 and an thinking about having the Porsche sports exhaust fitted at about 2k - was wondering if anyone else has, and if its worth it?
