Any idea about the best aftermarket exhaust

[Parrnan]

Hello !

I’m thinking about replacing my 2014 Boxster S stock exhaust (non PSE) by an aftermarket exhaust (non valve controlled).  

 

But, I still want to be able to take Sunday afternoon quiet rides...  I would like something that is relativly quiet at low RPM but gets really louder at high RPM.

 

I’ve check lots of videos on Youtube but I cannot decide.

 

The Borla type S seems to be too loud but sounds great. The AWE Tuning seems to be a bit quieter, but not sure. The FVD Brombacher sounds really good (seems to be the best one). The Agency Power is louder.  To be honest I really don’t know... 

 

What will best suit my needs, but unfortunately without any performance improvement, is the PSE with valve controlled but it is too expensive considering that it is necessary to buy new exhaust tips.  The muffler Itself is about the same price as the aftermarket listed above but the installation is more expensive considering the vacuum tubing and the valve controller unit that have to be installed in the engine bay (a bad place to work especially in a Boxster 981). And as it is necessary to buy new exhaust tips, the best ones are the true x-pipe from Fabspeed (they are way less restrictive than the awfully designed Porsche exhaust tips with two mufflers trying to fill each others...). But here in Canada these exhaust tips are about $800 (including all sales taxes).

 

Do you have any advise !

 

Thanks
