by-pass pipes with DACH R's. I'm not a fan of the S.cups, and not because they're not mine, I just think they sound "wrong" for the 993. Sound however is totally a subjective and opinionated thing. For big money, I custom make a set of pipes with "fangs" that will hands down make your car the most popular thing at the track 
and sound like nothing else 
you'll loose the weight of the mufflers all together and tips will exit right off the cats and out of the bumper cover Not for the faint at heart

Awesome. I assume there is a good sized weight savings between the stock and x-pipes? I'm adding these to my "wish list" ;-)
24-26 lbs for the stock cat vs. around 11 pounds for the "X" and 14 lbs for the cat pipe.
Out of curiousity, what cat material do you use?
Its stainless like the rest of the pipe. Please understand we do not manufacture the cat material, we build the pipes (currently) using pre-assembled cats. They are a 200 cell stainless "honeycomb" filter vs. the stock 400 ceramic. The stainless is much more efficient.

you said the porsche cats are "junk"... but they are German, no? The ones above aren't. german doesn't make them better but... junk?
the ones in the link above are higher flow than the originals, yes.
the original porsche cats are metal, not ceramic

your response seems kind of out of line. I don't now where to start. out of the box? I've been lurking for over a year and set up a login many months ago. didn't realize people need to go through some sort of rite of passage.
what was "trash talking"?
I am trying to learn more but I guess I won't learn from you.
thanks

I really meant no offense. been looking at various 200 cell aftermarket cats and I noticed these look like the same cats in the pictures posted with the x cats. they are called Metal'cat or something like that. that's all. look at the photos.
just wasn't sure of the quality but if others are using them in their products maybe they are ok.
