Default Look what I got from FVD today!

Side muffler bypass! They Should sound the same as the BBI install; although I paid $365 plus shipping. I think they raised the price to $399. Still a better price( they are just 90 degree pipes). Can't wait to install them this weekend.

If anyone wants a set, I'll sell mine on the cheap. I just took them off the car.

Just installed them today, sweet baby Jesus do they transform this car. So much better sounding, especially in the lower rpm, greatly improved expereince, sounds much more exotic and how it should all the time IMO. Raspy, agressive, suites the car perfectly.

Next up either the full cup exhaust or the fvd center bypass to go along with these side bipass's

Car was just so much mor exciting to drive, really happy and only $395

How's the droning with these pipes? With 200-cell cats on the 7.2 these pipes were an aural disaster.

I intstalled mine today as well. So much better, much more aggressive. I'm glad I went with this option. Believe it or not still not as loud as my Cayman was. I noticed a couple of things when I installed them. FVD labeled mine right and left. The name plates are underneath. This is where I would put them, so when the car is on a lift FVD is clearly visible. Money in his video installed them the opposite. I'm not sure it really matters. The other question I have for Money is when you covered the upper holes did you use the doughnut gasket? When I put only the plate on I could seem some a slight gap. After I put the doughnut gasket this sealed the small gap. Just trying to figure out why you got unwanted vibration. So far I'm very pleased wihout unwanted vibration. Sounds great so far.

I too was confused as you on the right or left and ended up putting their name facing upward which was opposit of their right and left. I assume right and left would be ones right or left when sitting in the car, not facing the front of the car?

I assumed Left =driver's side and Right = passenger. When I put them on as labeled the plates ended up on the bottom.
