I have a set of TechArt exhaust cans that I got used a few years back and I like them.

are we talking about muffler replacement or changing the whole system?

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've got a 996 (2001) C2. I'd like to have a more "vocal" throaty exhaust note but do not want an interior drone under normal driving conditions. Any recommendations for a replacement system?
Just swap the cans with Fister D's. Truast me you will love it! No drone, pure music and VERY reasonably priced mod. GL. If you don't like it, you can always "upgrade" to another exhaust at a later date.
So, for those who have heard both the Fister D mod and aftermarket exhaust such as Fabspeed, Tubi, etc., how would you rank or compare the Fister D as far as sound development? I am getting the understanding reading the comments on the forums that Fister D is a good step better than the stock, but perhaps not as radical as aftermarket exhaust. Fair statement or is there more to it?
again where talking about upgrading your current mufflers with the fister d option so i guess it depends on the condition of the mufflers now, for 300$ you can try that. Maybe a good place to start,because its going to cost alot more for some of the other options(Tubi,Cargraphic,Fabspeed),but were talking about high grade stainless steel construction,weight savings,and a brand new pair.Its a slippery slope,why not save a little at a time and swap out the cat conv,also to a 200 cell stainless version,that combo will really blow your mind,and poss add some performance. it comes down to a budget,and what you can afford,and for that reason the fister d upgrade seems popular here on the renn.
IMHO
1. PSE or RUF
2. DANSK/FVD
3. CARGRAPHIC
4. FISTER D
for the $$$ try Fister D and if you don't like them you'll have no problem selling them to somebody if you decide to go with one of the top 3
combining any of the the first 3 with hi-flow cats is really something special!
+1 for Fister Ds. No drone whatsoever if that's a concern. They can be very tame, but if you want to hear something just step on it a bit. A little like PSE but the switch is in your foot.
Agree this would be a good way to start, then if you want to go further you can explore more of the full system upgrades a la Fabspeed, Tubi, etc...
GL
I know the Tubi cans are hard to find, but they make the most amazing noise you can imagine. I spent a couple of years trying to make my Boxster sound right - the Tubi mufflers on my 996 are exactly what I expected a Porsche to sound like.
Honestly, I'm a cheapskate...if they didn't sound as awesome as they do, I would have pulled them off and sold them and pocketed the cash - but I can't bring myself to get rid of that sound.
a few questions for the OP:
* your budget? bang for buck or money is not an object?
* your goals/plans/expectations? just "noise" or actual power gains
* use of car? road & track?
If YES to "bang for bang", "noise" and mostly road use, then hard to beat the Fister D.
I have a set of TechArt exhaust cans that I got used a few years back and I like them. They sound really good especially when I step on the accelerator but compared to my friend's PSE's, I feel that the PSE's have even better, deeper growl either at idle or open throttle, they sounded great. I heard the Tubi's, Fabspeed, Dansk, Fister D on Youtube and they all sound pretty good with some variations in pitch but it depends on your budget and preferences, good-luck with your choice. Cheers,
