Honestly, on a cab I would either keep the stock exhaust or try GHL regulars. You won't like fabs on a cab, they are a true hi perf muffler with power you can feel, but at a price...loud. I like them, but not for everybody.

Surgeon, where RUFs stand? Are they loud as hell too? I have a cab and liked the sound of the RUFS, but now you have me thinking that GHL is the way to go.

The Rufs are the loudest mufflers available, not for the faint of heart, plus they run around 2k. DJ996 had a set for awhile, he'll chime in I'm sure. He's had PSE, Ruf,Fabs, and GHL.

The first Cab I test drove(first porsche I had ever driven) had Fab's on it. They didn't seem too bad on the Highway but when I drove around in the city it was kinda loud.
The GHL's don't give any performance gains?
Also, I've noted that the stock exhaust I have seems louder with the top closed than with the top open.

Count me in for a DC (or VA) meet. I have a 2000 C2 cab and would love to make it sound a little more lively. It's a daily drive so based on everything that I've read here, GHL would probably be the best choice for me.

And I have PSE on my cab, and it is possibly my favorite mod. I don't feel as if it's too loud at all. Sometimes when driving top-up, I open my rear drivers side window to partially simulate the top-down PSE experience, which is fairly awesome.

I have a CAB and have the PSE cans on (open all the time). I absolutely LOVE the sound especially with the top down! But, this mod is one of those that you NEED to hear first if you are the least bit worried about if you will like it or not. You really need to hear various cans in person. Sound clips do NOT do any of the cans justice.

all feel that PSE 3.6 is louder than fabspeed and GHL.if PSE is a 10 loudness, fabs are 8, GHL LOUD is 6, and GHL regular/quiet is 5.
PSE is the THE BEST sound for the 996 but i got rid of it to save weight. i still regret getting rid of it
. just run the switch for the times you find it loud, esp. in a cab.

Peter, Carlos and Chris,
Thanks for your input. I think the GHL regulars would work best with my cab.

Mike,
Did you check the GHL website? They have a picture on their site. Remember: Google is your friend.

Gary, I wish I was back in the NOVA right now so I could take you for a ride in my CAB with the PSE. Absolutely INTOXICATING! If you have't purchased anything by the end of May when I get back there for good I'll take you for a spin.
