As of now my Sunday time frame is starting to strech thin. I could make a meet in Chantilly at 10:00. There is a Starbucks on Lee Road about (about 1/2 mile west of the Route 28/Route 50 interchange) that has a big parking lot with lots of room. I am not sure where everyone lives or so this location many not be ideal for others.

Jedier:

Buy some snows and drive it. I put my curb rash wheels and Blizzaks on just after Thanksgiving.

I am still open in the morning if anyone want to do the a.m. Definitely can't be a show and shine. My 996 has a nice salt spray patina. it's a tough time of the year to break free. I have a feeling most folks schedules are tight.

Anyone have either the GHL or the Fabspeed exhaust that wouldn't mind showing it off tomorrow afternoon over a cup of Starbucks or similar?

StephenB, M5guru, and Washington dc porsche, I can meet up in the morning with one of my friend which is a new 996 owner. 10am or 11am will be fine with me. Just let me know the place, what StephenB proposed is fine with me too.

M5guru, sorry I dont have the Fab or GHL, just PSE.

10:30 is fine with me at either Haines Point(East Potmac Park toward the Awakening) or the Starbucks(though I have no idea where that is since I don't drink coffee)

Sorry, couldn't do AM. Hopefully I'll get a chance to hear some of these sportier exhausts soon as I'd like to have on on before the spring. Hope everyone had a good time.

It's funny what with all this talk about exhausts. As I'm in the market for a new set, I was listening to clips of the Fabs, GHLs, Cargraphics, PSE, etc last night. It's funny, but my girlfriend's head was literally spinning after a while because the computer speakers and sub were cranked.

At the end of the night, she felt that the GHL regulars and the PSEs sounded the most like the traditional Porsche sound, whilst the rest were way too race-carish (Cargraphics) or V8ish (Fabspeed). Yes, I know, some people love that sound and I totally get that, but I want a slightly more refined 'scream' when I accelerate. Anyway, I am sure as hell not spending on the PSE...in my opinion, a new exhaust should be lighter and 30 pounds of savings on the low rear would make a hell of a difference, in my opinion.

Now, if only I can find a clip of the Gemballa and the RUF one last time, and before the end of the GHL sale before I make up my mind. Of course, I just wish that one shop had all these exhausts so I could hear them live. Any ideas where to head around the tri-state area for a demo listen?

Ed, you won't be disappointed with the GHL regs, I loved mine. One day I just wanted louder so I got the fabs.
If you're in the city, you can hear my fabs anytime. TXK (rpm) usually has a couple of cars around with different cans. In any respect, they're cheap enough, if you don't like 'em used cans are very easy to resale.

Edward, the Rufs are great but you'll spend more on them than the PSE. I would suggest 1st GHL regular at the special price, followed closely by Fabspeed if you want a more aggressive sound.
