any of you that are thinking about this mod for your car need to check out FVD Brombacher....their prices on the G pipe and the bypass pipe are the best I have found by quite a bit

they are sponsors here and seem to have some very nice stuff.

 

Thankth!

 

I have a Dansk G pipe and I do like the loud aspect/decent ear candy, but it does sound a bit like a camaro really, not very sophisticated.

Do you know, does the cup pipe sound better? Should I switch?

 

Can't say that I know about the sound difference between the two pipes, but there is supposed to be a difference in the performance range of each. I have a G-pipe too and what I have noticed other than that it is very loud is that the tone of the boxer engine does sound much like a Subie WRX. Not really the sound that I want for the 964 but I guess boxer engines have a characteristic exhaust note. I plan to leave it on though as it really makes a difference in engine response more that any real performace improvement.

 

do you do any AXing or track duty with your car?

I am the PCA-GGR competition director and don't recall seeing another 964 at any of our events.

 

No,

Not enough time or funds to let myself catch the track bug. If I ever I do it I am sure ther will be no going back to a normal street car existence.

 

I bought the FVD G-pipe - they have a hell of a price.

I installed it and drilled out my air-box lid. I am not sure if I notice any real performance improvement (other than the aforementioned throttle response) but it sure sounds great winding out 4th gear on approach to turn 1 at Willow Springs!

I'd actually prefer a little more sound and am considering also ditching the primary muffler in favor of a primary bypass + G-pipe set up. My tolerance for motor sound is high but that set up may cross the line. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

when I bought my car it already has the carbon fiber air intake in place of the stock air box top...
it has a nice intake sound at around 3500-4000 RPMs so with the addition of the G pipe I am expecting it to have a little low end bark...

 

We're around, usually at other events. Actually took RSA #2 out of the backyard and over to the shop last weekend so I can strip the interior and send it off for a cage sometime!

 

Hey Ken, how are you?

haven't seen you in a looooooong time

 

I think you will get the low end bark you seek. My only issue so far is at certain speeds on the freeway the resonance can be a bit too much in conjunction with tire and road noise.

 

IMO, the G-pipe + primary by-pass is WAY too loud, and not a nice loud. I tried both, and changed back after one 10-minute drive.

 

I'm on my way!....Just need to fix some nagging leaks so I don't get black-flagged.

you have too seen other 964's at GGr events

 

you are right, I was thinking of others besides you and Don Clarke.

you must have gotten the last Gpipe from FVD that was state side.

mine is coming directly from Germany....won't be here until the end of the month...
