The WereWife was afraid I was going to run her over, so she kept flinching.

Running her over might scratch the paint and I like that camera.

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.

For anyone on the fence about upgrading to an aftermarket exhaust, just do it.
The installation took about 2.5 hours, had one unrelated glitch (A South Florida-only scenario), and now the sound is pure loveliness.
It's a Gemballa exhaust, with their tips. I knew the sound was going to be better, but I was amazed by how much of a difference there is in terms of looks going from the OEM tips to the Gemballa tips.
I'll post a before.after video/sound clip tonight.
The sound is awesome. I can't wait to cruise through the New River Tunnel for the echo effect.
I'll see if I can't figure out how to post it tonight. My only "complaint" (and it's not a real one) is that the Gemballa tips "GEMBALLA" but they're shorter than the OEM tips, so while *I* know they say Gemballa, you'd have to lean waaaay down to see it.
It's definitely a low-profile bling thing. They really give the car a more serious look and somehow make the rear tires look better, but are they worth the extra $375? probably not.
so on the mk2 bumpers you cant see the "gemballa" script like this on the mk1?... I guess the mk2 is protrudes a bit longer... glad your liking the sound of it.

That's exactly why I went with the PSE and switchability. I often leave home early (4 - 5 AM), and don't wish to be known as "the jerk with the noisy Porsche".
We have 5 996s within a 4 block radius - nobody complains about the sound except the weenie with a Prius.
The sound is actually pretty mellow until you get on it, so I am not waking anyone up. On I-95, it's another story.
I have a sound clip but I'm having technical difficulties getting it to load. Stand by...
The video sucks. The WereWife was afraid I was going to run her over, so she kept flinching. As if. Running her over might scratch the paint and I like that camera. It looks like a video of an earthquake.
The car is now in the shop getting the nose repainted. I'll re-video it when I get it back.
The Glitch was a freaking falling palm frond that scratched the snout. I needed to get the nose repainted anyway to cure the rock chip freckles, but I was still pissed off.
That palm tree is going down.
