Exhaust options

Hey guys, I just wanted to know what any of you are running Fabspeed for aftermarket exhaust or any others and have any postive or negative feedback. I've been looking at a few different ones and I realize that pretty much everyone says that Akrapovic is highly recommended but I'm not looking to spend that much money for an exhaust. So I've been considering Fabspeed as one which I thought sounded and looked really good with the black tips and even Megan Racing for just a simple axleback. I know there has been some negative comments about putting a low price exhaust one a expensive car but that isn't a concern of mine as long as it does its job and doesn't fall apart.


Thanks

I've done some research on them and watched the videos... for the money, the Fabspeed is what I plan on in the next few months. I have been in contact with them and they are very responsive and helpful if you email them.

But the way, glad you got that transfer case fixed... I bring mine in on Tuesday and I told the service guy " I know it isn't throwing a transmission code, but I know this is what it is, because this is not "normal" "

That's what I'm thinking as well and really like how it sounds. I'm glad you're bringing it back in cause you shoudn't be left hanging driving it like that. The standard tech couldn't find it but didn't take the apprentice mre than a few hours to finf it to be the transfer case. If they have questions or don't listen to you I will get you the name of the guy I've been dealing with and your tech can call mine to confirm the issue and repair.

mod your own... do a search and cut the exhaust open, move the "M" muffler to the regular side and then a straight pipe to the the M side...You have a great sounding exhaust for $400 with valve control. I did mine, sounds great 3x as loud in M mode
