Which primary bypass?
Hi guys,
Decided to try a primary bypass on my 93 cab and wondering which one to order.
Anything else? Any reason for the price difference?
Thanks!

- FVD for $260: https://www.fvd.net/us-en/170111044/...y-muffler.html
- Fabspeed for $395: https://www.fabspeed.com/porsche-964...r-bypass-pipe/
Anything else? Any reason for the price difference?
Thanks!

they are all the same. go cheap. or buy used.

Primary Bypass...
they pretty much serve the same purpose and offer the same benefits.
My my suggestion is buy a quality used example. The material of the pipe (and condition) are key.
I have a Fabspeed cup pipe on my ‘92 coupe (with the stock secondary muffler) and it is great. Bought it used off eBay.

Good thoughts already provided. My car had one installed when I purchased it. I think it is a Fabspeed unit. I have had it off and on the car a couple of times while doing other work.
I would opt for a single piece unit over the two piece. I ended up replacing the hold down straps because the ones with mine were pretty junky. Used the factory straps from an early car and cut them to size.

IMHO, that's the best sounding combination. Good move. I have spare secondary mufflers hanging around if you want one. Sometimes the secondary will crack due to the higher heat from this setup.

I've been riding with the secondary delete for a few years now and want to see how I like the primary only delete (and reinstall the secondary). I don't see any in the classified, but wanted to see if anyone has a used cup pipe in the 'need to sell eventually' pile they want to rid them selves of.

Alright, the Dansk primary bypass has arrived and I had it installed yesterday. First off, I paid $200 and the seller was quite a stand up guy: he had lost a piece of hardware and as such, got me a completely new kit.
Unfortunately, I don't have the space and the tools to tackle the install myself and had to pay 2.5 hours to get it done. That was a bit of a surprise, I would have expected it to be a bit simpler but the fitting was not perfect out of the box and some nuts and bolts were difficult to remove. That makes it a $600 modification all-in.
I have not had time to drive it on a back road, I picked it up, drove it on the freeway and in the street. At low RPM it's somewhat subtle and that's exactly what I wanted. Not a major difference at regular freeway speed but you know it's there and it makes you want to go fast. Which I will do pretty soon.
Not a great video but it shows how mellow it is when you don't push it:
Oh, and that 12 lbs net weight loss? Looks like my butt dyno is not calibrated for 0.4% changes

Have you drilled the air box too? Very nice deep sound at WOT and 4,000+ RPM.
