And the sound is EXACTLY what a 911 should sound like.

Very well built and great attention to detail. Unfortunately I'm still waiting patiently for a set for 993 turbos

I too just put my set on, I had them setting around for so long. They do sound amazing and fit great. After the install I have a small exhaust leak that I need to sort out. I think I should have gotten some new Exhaust Flange Gaskets.

Did you have to remove the bumper cover for the install? Or was that for something else?

I did not have to take off the bumper, other than the oxygen sensor being very hard to get off the install was easy.

Chris' DACH X pipes are really well-made. I have the cat bypasses. Sound is incredible,

A tech at the local Porsche store (my age, cut his teeth on the aircooled cars) said my car is the best sounding 993 he's ever heard. I have the cat bypass X pipes and Chris's "DACH R" modified mufflers. Drove down to Wilmington and did the installs there about a year ago, kept my cat just in case. I couldn't be happier.
