Exclamation !!Warning!! FABSPEED HEADERS & BYPASS PIPE COMBO

Just a friendly warning....Bypass Pipes used in combination with Fabspeed headers...Way Way to loud.....as in ridiculious loud...untastfully loud.

I took the car for a spin after tip-toeing through the neighborhood(unsucessfully I may add) and besides smiling half the time when the road was clear it is too loud to have fun with....Ive allways said if its too loud your to old..well I guess either 1 I am maturing or 2 its distatstfully loud...fabspeed mufflers going back on as we speak. The lady security guard at the gatehouse where I live asked if I was making all that noise and I told her yeah..too loud right and she nodded with a smile.

I think they will sound tastefully loud with stock headers and cats but this is outta control loud. Id make a video but I dont want neighbors coming out to strangle me.


So muffler bypass pipes..used once (3miles on them)..110 bucks shipped if anyone wants them. I paid 150 shipped.

Keep the headers but put the mufflers back on and you will be happy. The headers have nothing to do with it being so LOUD.

argh you should have gone for a youtube ride ! I'd would have enjoyed it

When you say muffler bypass, it is a cat bypass, or really no muffler at all ? straight from the header into the wild ?

Well the original setup was fabspeed headers, highflow cats and fabspeed muflers(what Im going back to as we speak)....The outragously loud system was fabspeed headers, highflow cat and bypass pipes...it was unbearable..


OUT TO lowes for some SS hardware....***** F$cka...
