I had the G-pipe and it does sound good but the Cup pipe is more of a classic air-cooled sound in my books so I benched the G-pipe and installed an FVD Cup Pipe.

It's just this one, nothing special, the previous owner of my car had it installed when I purchased over 6 years ago.

I'm running Fabspeed primary and secondary delete with dual tips.

I was running a cat delete but the car was too smelly for street use.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hey guys,
Looking at updating a stock exhaust on my 964 targa Carrera 2. What off the shelf options are there or am I better off getting a custom one fabricated. I’m located in Adelaide.
btw I don’t mind loud
😬
looking forward to ‘hearing’ what’s out there.
😉

Google "g pipe"
Ask fellow PFA'ers: Mike D'Silva and Tit
I have a G pipe, simplest cheapest mod to achieve a pretty cool sound. Cat bypass is a further option, again inexpensive. Both will give you a slight performance improvement. Depends what your goal is? Bits can be bought from the usual UK on-line suspects. Few hundred in total I recall.
I've been super happy with the Fister. Combine it with a stock primary muffler and you'll get a good increase in growl. I run mine with a cup pipe and love the combination. Absolutely no drone when cruising.
Here's my video review (including sounds of drive bus etc...)
haha yes very careful
😂
great videos mate..

Thanks for all the replies guys..
So I've looked into the g-pipe(secondary bypass) and looks to be a great option with a (primary bypass) which cuts out the big muffler at the back. both of these are available from fabspeed. what do you guys think that idea?

Fetching info...
If you don't spend the big bucks and go with the amazing Fister, my recommendation is a Cup pipe and the factory secondary muffler.
I had the G-pipe and it does sound good but the Cup pipe is more of a classic air-cooled sound in my books so I benched the G-pipe and installed an FVD Cup Pipe. I also have a Fabspeed Sport Cat but that was more of a performance than sound upgrade, very happy with that also.
Thanks again poli84, don't think ill go the Fister. I'm sure its a great product i just don't want an unnecessary muffler when i can just delete it with a G-pipe. So i think im going to go with the fabspeed primary and secondary bypass setup with the sports cat.
Thanks again to everyones reply's, links and comments certainly helped me get my head around the whole exhaust system.
I have one of these if you are interested...
so that means you are going to run an open pipe?? I've tried it.. it's stupid loud and obnoxious. I drove around the block and was so embarassed.
I had the fabspeed system and was pretty happy with it - not too obnoxious but sounds like it means business. A little boomy at highway speeds, but apparently the new ones are better.
At $6k landed from the US for a full system, you might as well get a custom system.
Wait, you're deleting both and running a sport cat? I had a G pipe originally and when I fit the cup pipe i tried running the two together (primary and secondary bypass) and it was batshit loud. And not actually a nice sound - completely overwhelmed the classic Porsche sound.
@poli84
has a great setup (have heard it many times) and it'd be an easy one to try. He also has an open airbag which I think adds to the sound. If you're still not feeling it's loud enough you could then do the secondary bypass.
Ok yes lol I think you’re right it’ll probably be a bit too loud. That setup sounds like a good one. The fister muffler will be a good option with cup pipe and sportcat.
I agree with
@Andy73
, primary and secondary muffler delete is too much, way too much. When installing my cup pipe (primary delete), i went for a drive while the G-pipe was still fitted and it was horrible. I would stick with the primary delete, retain factory secondary (don't bother with the G-pipe) and then a sports cat. As Andy said, i have an open airbox too which makes great induction noise and nice lift off-throttle rasp.
Do you have any video/audio of your system? I'm running Fabspeed primary and secondary delete with dual tips. I'm pretty happy with it but always open for change!
I was running a cat delete but the car was too smelly for street use. I tried a high flow cat but settled for factory in the end. A bit more 'muted' throttle response but I was happy to compromise since retiring the car from track days.
I have custom high flow and Fabspeed cat delete if anyone is looking for those options.
Not specifically but if you check out Andy's youtube chanel, my car is in a few of the videos so you will get a little idea. Couldn't give you time stamps of where it appears but it is in there multiple times and Andy's video's are great so not the worst thing to sit through
. Maybe check out the Alpine Range Rally III where my car is the thumbnail and the post Christmas run videos.

It's just this one, nothing special, the previous owner of my car had it installed when I purchased over 6 years ago. Arguments could be made about heat with an open airbox, i have nothing to prove or disprove that and have left it on the car. Sounds great, looks good and my 964 runs great so I'm happy (also have a MAF conversion as well as the above mentioned Sport Cat and Cup Pipe).

Thanks for the compliments but that's
@Andy73
who does those great videos, I just go driving with him but we did the MAF conversion at the same time. Andy's is the gorgeous green with the gold BBS (mine is marine blue with D90's).
