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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking to upgrade the exhaust on my 2000 986 S. For the last two years I have driven the car solely for Track day/ HPDE events. I've finally decided to upgrade the car a bit. While im searching for some GT3 seats, I decided to check out exhausts. From what I've read, people seem to be really happy with fabspeed exhausts. So my question is which of the fabspeed exhausts to go with? 1. Porsche 986 Spec Boxster Competition Race Exhaust System 2. https://www.fabspeed.com/porsche-986-boxster-supercup-exhaust-system/ Any other companies/ products I should be looking at? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If the two, the competition one looks better for your purposes because it is lighter, cat-free, and includes downturns which you can point away from the DB meter at sound-limited tracks. Many on here have opted for test pipes and generic mufflers from eBay. The biggest benefit is weight savings.
