ok update on the above , so finally got around to fitting it , I had the exhaust bolt problem . rusted so I had to get the toys out to remove them and fit new bolts , anyways , the original system is in excellent condition so no prob there , fitting the fabspeed system was straight forward and Fabspeed themselves were most helpful with some advice enve if i was not buying a new one , apparently they switched from the flexible sections a year or so back to a straight through section , however the rest is exactly the same , it's a lot lighter than the standard S system and looks fantastic , the quality of construction / welding is outstanding , so on too the sound / noise , well my wife ( Petrol head with two older petrol head brothers ) who has heard it from the outside thinks it sounds far better much more "Porsche " than standard , yes louder as well but not so much the neighbours will start throwing eggs. From the inside the cabin is noisier but not too intrusive , A much deeper growl when accelerating . Very pleased myself , but my wife is yet to give her approval as to the inside sound. in the end the price I paid was well worth it considering the new cost of £1500.00 and the fact that the local Porsche OPC wanted £511.36 to remove / replace the 6 rusted studs on the Cat / main exhaust flange ( a common problem I have since discovered ) which I did myself . regards Bryan
