Default Supercups or GHL's?

I saw a car almost identical to my 993 today with Fabspeed Supercups. When he revved it hard, I got goosebumps. I want them! From Fabspeed's website I can't tell if they're headers or mufflers or what. Can I just swap these for my GHL's? Also, anyone interested in a pair of GHL's with less than 1000 miles on them?

get the supercups mufflers [they muffle nothing, but come with turndown pipe inserts if you need to reduce the noise] and the bypass from fabspeed, you will shake with excitment..

Yes,

You can swap them for your GHL's. They're just mufflers although like HK already said, don't "muffle" much...

You'll love them!

Rick,

If you're going to Potomac's DE at Summit next weekend, you can hear my car with the first generation Supercups or Sam N's car with the current model.

Oh, there are different versions? I've heard Skip's and loved them too. I can't make it to the DE. But I'll start looking to unload my GHL's.

Rick,

Fabspeed only makes the third gen versions with the nonremoveable baffling. I think Skip has the third gen that is just like Sam's.

(BTW, the first gen ones are the loudest.)

The first gens are scary. I love the sound. Thirds sound great too. You definitely need them.

Talking I had Supercup 3rd Generation, sold them for some silly...

reason. They other night I woke up in a cold sweat (well almost), and I said to myself, self, you really miss your Supercups, why don't you get another set...well I just might do that.

They are loud, they may minimize conversation in the cockpit, the stero may become a moot point BUT, that is why God invented Bose noise cancelling headphones for long trips.

I may need my head examined but I am weakening by the minute, Joe Fab, can you hear my plea?

I conclude with the following; you will drive the car more on short trips around towm, and in fact will find yourself looking for excuses to drive the car, and turn some heads.

Once you get supercups you will look for every excuse to drive through tunnels and freeway underpasses at WOT...

Talking And David has told me ...

that he has to avoid driving near Jr. High Schools. The sound of those Supercups have convinced the impressionable youth that he is the coolest dude in town.

Damn, I have just pushed myself over the edge, Joe Fab, where are you when I need you? Why are you closed on Sundays?

I have an aural itch to scratch!

I just installed my supercups on Friday nite and spent all w/end at the track....Everyone just loves them....Sweet sound...

I was abit surprised at how Loud they were but I've already grown to love them... .... I found them to be louder than my 5.0 Mustang with Flowmasters...

The one downside to these are that your gas mileage will suffer from you getting adicted to the sound when running it through the gears and shifting at Red Line all the time....
