Aftermarket Exhaust Recommendations for LP Spyder

I wanted to engage with the LP Spyder owners who are driving with aftermarket exhausts. Stock LP exhaust is too quiet, especially compared to my Pre-LP with stock exhaust (but the valves were permanently open) .

I like driving with the top down and don't want an excessively loud exhaust. There will be a lot of personal preferences, but I'm interested to see your thoughts. I want to avoid CELs and drone. I hope to use the stock heat shielding to avoid melting the rear bumper and wires.

So are you saying you haven't done the 'permanently open' valve mod on your LP yet ? It's not a Huge difference, but it is definitely an improvement....even if only temporary.

Ok, the beauty of these threads. I knew nothing of Avior until now, and will consider it a viable option. They offer it in Stainless AND Titanium (stainless has a lower pitch tone compared to higher pitched screaming titanium) for your personal preference, w/ even a Stainless resonated version if you so desire. 3 options and the Best part ---- MADE IN AMERICA !! ((Beware the < $1200 China copy unless your okay with crappy welds, tailpipes sticking out in different directions, and improper spacing)) I have a titanium system on another vehicle in my stable and based on how incredible that thing sounds, I'd put my $2700 on the 'T' system ! (the stainless about 2K). I currently have the stock LP exhaust with the valves controlled by an additional vacuum solenoid that allows me to open or close them at will. Yes, you can buy such a thing for around $300 but I didn't think that was worth it compared to just plugging them off, so I made my own for about $30 and my time.
I'm not too keen on the idea of ripping the whole back of the car off to change the exhaust, so I'm taking my time to decide absolutely what I'm going with. If I suddenly find myself needing a clutch well then that's a different story, but I'm Ok with the valve mod for now......

OH, and the VERY IMPORTANT point I forgot to make there...... REGARDLESS, of what system you choose, make sure it is ENGINEERED for this car. FABSPEED, for example as I've used them before on a Porsche... spends a great deal of time and effort into R&D to engineer all aspects into their systems, As opposed to the 'non-branded' or copies that just weld pipes together to look similar. This is EXTRA critical when designing a straight pipe system because lengths, bends, transitions, pipe diameter all change characteristics in the sound!! Undesirable Frequency cancellation has to be engineered into all those things without the added benefit of mufflers and resonators... COPIES WILL NOT DO THAT. That's how you can have two 'nearly' identical exhausts on the same type of car and one sounds beautiful and the other sounds like Crap
