Default Side Muffler Delete?

Anyone running a side muffler delete pipe such as Agency Power or this one .... https://www.topgear-eurosport.com/po...y-bypass-pipes

Basically, just a curved pipe that replaces the muffler on each side and leaves the center muffler in place.

Wondering what this kind of set up sounds like in real life and also if it is louder or quieter than doing a valved center muffler such as Soul or Fabspeed and keeping the side mufflers.

991.1 S is the test subject. It is a non PSE car.

I had something like this: http://www.rsr911.eu/en/2018/12/17/9...fflers-bypass/

The booming and drone was unpleasant to me. Pops and bangs were great.

My concern is also drone.
The concept is a good idea, but if it creates unacceptable drone, even a cheap(ish) solution to better sound isn't a bargain.

Get fister mufflers, best of both worlds. Zero drone but sounds amazing with throttle.

Not really looking to spend $1K on a crossover tube. (Plus ship them in).

I could do the crossover myself if it comes down to it.

The delete pipe allows for reinstall if I don’t like it.

Thanks though.

Do the crossover pipe yourself then, you won't regret it. That and the fabspeed x-pipe made my old 991.1 sound perfect.

Not sure about the topgear system but I can attest to upgrading to our X-pipe. Very minimal drone and fantastic sound quality.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or if you're interested in our RL discount.

Will exciting at first you may tire of the excessive drone and always loud sound. The factory side mufflers are exceptional at reducing drone - we always leave them in place. Our Valved Performance Exhaust System will give you all the loud you want with a more civil mode at the press of a button. A significant bump in price, yes, but a well engineering system to give you what you're looking for with an off button when needed.

I can second the thought as I have the SOUL cat back system and it sounds amazing! I'm told all the time how good my car sounds! Highly recommend!
