I was out driving a bunch of time today at 65+ mph and boy they sound great---found myself downshifting & jumping on the gas just to hear the sound!

All this talk about the great sounds and no video or sound clips

It certainly won't hurt sales to have pictures and sounds, not to mention a Dyno comparison before and after.

From what we hear on the thread, you're going to have to expand your shop

There are many sound clips available. Look for the hyperlink in my signature for the putfile link, that will get you some early clips of our X-pipes.

follow this link for recent dyno results of the cat X-pipes

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/306544-dach-by-pass-pipes-dyno-results.html
and this one for Harvey Yancy's dyno results of just the X-pipes (no cats)

In a few weeks (hopefully) I will be doing my own dyno tests here locally to back up Harvey's #'s. But fear not, sales have been amazingly steady thanks to some very loyal friends and X-pipe wearers (is that a word?)here on RL. Some are on second sets +

My cat pipes weigh just over 12 lbs, factory seem to range from 24-27 pounds, but usually 26 is what we've found.

Rusted bolts SUCK! Only one came out with out requiring me to break it or grind it. And a couple required both!! Oh.. then there were the ones I used a cold chisle on. Sheesh. The bolts on the 964 where awesome... they must have used regular steel bolts on the 993 exhaust.

Regardless... its IN! My neighbors hate me, well.. all but one who shot some video of me firing up the car for the first time with the pipes. I'll post to YouTube or somewhere after I've downsampled the 120MB to something more reasonable.

Wicked sounding. Not crazy loud inside.. nice. They bolted up fine and look OH SO SWEET in the car. Sorry, not pics of the system installed.. I was too eager to go and drive!

More pics to follow. Color me a happy camper!
