So for Ga. its either sports or swap out.
Derek- did yours pass the sniff and visual test?
For me the bypass is just a temp fix- the whole 964 exhaust system appears to be 40 miles of bad road. Its very heavy and restrictive.
I'm working with a vendor on an out of the box solution (sort of) that is expensive but will drop considerable weight and should gain appreciable (AND dyno measureable hp). And it should sound great (if you like the soundclip in my signature).
It will be dual outlet so will necessitate a turbo bumper or cutout of exting one adding to the cost and hassle but it should be worthwhile it providing a quantum improvement.
Stay tuned (pun).

I have a Fabspeed and it looks very similar to the real cat. The pic of the Dansk shows it even accepts the heat sheilds, Im pretty sure the Fabspeed or the Dansk would pass a visual inspection as they both look similar enough to the real cat. The O2 sensor is present and they bulge out like the real cat. You also save about 10 lbs with the Fabspeed.

Not sure what I'm going to do longer term with the car. I may do wb conversion. If so I'll get the turbo bumper etc.
If I decide that, shortterm I may just cut an opening and repsray- or get the valence you suggest- thanks.
I should have a plan- and I do, but it only extends to mechanical functional side of the car. Part of me says leave the aesthetics alone ( e.g I have interior issues and spider cracks in some of the lights and reflectors). The other side of me has gotten used to a pretty clean 993 and "hips" in the rearview mirror- once I get the car dialed mechanically I may not be able to resist doing some of these other things. Going wb is obvioulsy the big committment.
I'm still dithering.

David,
I have a FVD left(nb) valence. Decent fit that allayed the initial concerns of my bodyshop that's seen their share of poorly fitting aftermarket pieces.
Congratulations on your car. Always good to see another modder here!

They have emissions testing in Ontario (and perhaps other provinces too) but not in Alberta where I am. I don't know if it would pass (but a bypass would certainly not!).
For what that's worth...

With plans to replace some other pieces and try different vendors, I have an opportunity to gain in opinion. Hope it's all this pleasant. :-)
