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.

no more than 2 miles on the car since install, some first impressions:
-wife: loved it, not as loud as what she was expecting
-me: inside the car, windows up (we had rain here in los angeles yesterday), hardly noticeable in terms of increased decibels. what was noticeable was a subtle lower rumble at idle (at a red light lets say). under hard acceleration, you can here the difference inside the car.
-me: outside, standing behind the car: definately lower at idle and has a minor rumble at startup. the sound at idle is definately lower (albeit not that much) and has a slight rumbling sound. the exhaust does not seem to come alive until 2.5-3k rpm or higher, then it is NOTICEABLY different from the stock setup. definately throatier/raspier/louder, but not by some crazy amount. my friend who was with me said it was just perfect.
well, there u have it. i won't wake up anyone in the neighborhood, my wife still likes the car and will drive it, and only those people behind me or those that i pass will know the exhaust is not stock. i think this is a fair assesment.
QUESTION: i had the original tips put on the pipes (kind of like it this way) because the ones that came with the cans were for a newer body porsche and did not fit properly in the exhaust cutouts (rear apron). DO THE TIPS MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE EXHAUST SOUND? WILL THE GHL TIPS SOUND DIFF THAN THE STOCK TIPS? i know nothing about this subject matter, was just wondering if the orig tips mute out some of the sound.
will post a sound clip either today or sunday.
regards

I wouldn't think the tips would change the sound. Contact GHL and tell them the tips do not fit onyour car and I am sure they would refund you the difference... wouldn't you think??
I've had mine installed for 3 weeks now. My initial impression was exactly as yours. Lately mine have started to get a little deeper, throatier, and sounding better and better. I now can hear it a little more inside, which I love. The change has been so gradual that my wife hasn't even noticed. Plus, I can manage the desired amount of noise by shifting at the right places, etc. For me, it was a great choice. Tell us what you think in about 3 or 4 weeks.
Dwayne
Dwayne/Nick, thanks. as for the tips, yes, they will most gladly exchange them or refund. as for the mufflers, i must say that i'm looking forward to putting some miles on them as i'd love them to be just a tiny bit louder, and then they would be perfect. i will definately let you know of the improvement (only 2miles as i said at this moment).
thanks again
From the sound clips I've heard, it seems the Fabspeed is louder than the GHL and doesn't have as low of a rumble at idle.
I just want to hear the GHL from behind as it takes off with WOT.
