Default Installed muffler by-passes on the weekend!!!

I love them, sounds awesome. I don't even think its that loud at all. Although I'm use to loud muscle cars and track cars so maybe my ear are immune to it. Got them on ebay, I doubt they are fabspeeds but they look great and sound wicked!!! I can even feel a difference in the rear with the weight difference, I also took out the back seats and some extras I don't need... Love this car.. Just thought I'd share that..

There is a thread in the GT3 forum about Laguna Seca decibal limits.... Keep the old cats in case you decide to track at LS.

In the meantime, enjoy the new pipes!

You are correct. The local Porsche Owner's Club (POC) is having a 3 day event this weekend and this was posted on their website; "Sound Limit: 92dbA @ 50 ft. limit is strictly enforced by the track officials."

Took me one day. I drove 75 miles to and from work pulled in the garage and removed them. If any one is interested I have a set with 75 miles on them.

I guess to each their own. I was VERY close to buying one a few months back and even the seller talked me out of it? LOL

If you are enjoying the sound and not annoyed then good for you ! I definetely like the deeper / louder sound. I guess I would have to sit inside one with these 1st to judge. Anyone in the Bay Area?

I love mine, have no regrets. I still have the OEM exhaust, but they are not going back on. Easy cheap mod...and I did not get the Fabspeed ones either. A pipe is a pipe. If you like them, keep them. I love mine. Different strokes for different folks. Also, if you know how to drive....no issues waking up the neighbors or problems with cops. You just have to be aware.....

Thanks for the feedback guys, they are loud and proud, but they save weight and make some good power at the top. Let me know if you have any questions and PM me if anyone is interested and I will make you a nice member deal on a set.
thanks,
