I am happy with the crab, but there are others who like the Triad and some custom solutions as well.

I think that B&B headers or stock 993 headers w/ a Dynomax 2 in/2 out is probably the best street exhaust

993 Stock Heat Exchangers are the bomb! Cheap and very effective indeed. Plus you get heat

Straight off the cats with a couple of 3" resonator tips! What a sound! The idle sounds impressive!
As far as the first drive; it was okay....the engine was still almost new and whoever owned it previously had not run it hard. The mechanics who installed it asked what I had done with the engine to make it run so much better. Just a few, good Italian tune ups did the trick.
It runs like a monster now! The difference between the 3.2 and the 3.6 V-Ram is remarkable! These things pull all the way to red line and STRONG! Just make sure you use 95 octane or better.
DO IT! You'll love it!

The Triad runs about $600 and can be built to mount on the OEM 993 headers (both types of flanges).

I can't get my head around paying more than a hundred bucks for a muffler.

I am curious about those posters out there with 3.6 or 3.8 liter engines in earlier cars (or planning conversions). I am wondering which set-up is predominant: 3.6 from 964, 3.6 from 993/early, or 3.6 from 993/Varioram? I am really curious about various intake set-ups. I am thinking about a cold airbox made out of carbon fiber for the 964 and 993/early types of intakes. I already made a prototype for my car (3.8 with 993/early intake manifold), and I am considering making a more robust mold to perhaps fab up some more units So if you have one of these converted set-ups, what intake do you run?.

Why? Check the earlier posts. You can do it locally cheaper.

This from a guy who paints over his rock chips with rustoleum. Go figure!

It's for the bling, Olsen. It's all about the bling. Stainless with pretty welds costs money!

OK, i'll toss my hat into the ring.
It's my 74 911, 97 Vram, Timmons HC muffler.
It's very fast, very loud, very cool to drive.
