Where can I find and will the Bypass pipes fit stock tips? Notice that most of the bypass pipes have tips on them? 2002 996 C2
Would a local muffler/exhaust shop be able to make them?

Thanks

I just got a set off Fleabay for $159 delivered (Justspeed vendor?)... polished stainless steel and fit is perfect centered... oval tips look great... only thing is it required 2 new clamps since the OEM ones were made for larger diameter sleeves and could not tighten down enough... Car sounds like an angry stock car at low rpm and wails like an exotic up to redline... I'm a big fan, it really quickens your pulse, this is not my daily driver or I may not be able to accept such raucous operating conditions.

Also measured it... 54 lbs off the tail end in dropping stock cans.

yea those stock mufflers were incredibly heavy. If it was my daily I wouldn't have done it but its a secondary vehicle.

I want to use my stock tip as they are powder coated in black and not a big fan of the cheap after market tips.

Easier to get those E-bay ones powder coated maybe is what I'd do? They do not look cheap to me, especially after you murder them out.

Otherwise custom fab work with a local muffler shop? Good luck

A loss in the tail end of our porsches of 54 lbs. is amazing, nice.

Just did this as well and actually impressed with the fitment. I bought the same ones from eBay, why anyone would pay Fabspeed 3x the price is beyond me.

I actually took the two hoops off each off the OEM clamps and reused those for the straight pipes, worked perfectly.

Went for a drive this weekend with a C4S with full fabspeed exhaust and headers, my muffler bypass sounded very similar for a fraction of the cost and a huge weight savings.

Are these even legal? These will completely bypass the mufflers? What about sound polution?

Its TOO LOUD! You want get away with this, bruh, especially in Canada.

Why not chip in a bit more and get the Fister D mod? A good exhaust/muffler shop should be able to work on your stock mufflers. If its not the weight savings you're after (again, for track purposes I assume), bypass pipes are obnoxious. Tonnes of threads here saying they drone pretty badly and can't be lived with on a daily basis.

Tons of guys also won't drive their cars in the rain for some ridiculous fear of god knows what... I've been driving the car with the bypass pipes for a couple weeks and they are no louder than any other sport exhaust I've had on previous cars.

Thanks for all the responses...some more helpful than others. :-)
My question was " where to buy muffler bypass pipes that uses the stock tips"

Appreciate your concern about loudness and practicality...and I have the stock mufflers replace with GHL and looking for something a little more aggressive.

They are obnoxiously loud for a DD but totally worth it for goosing the throttle, especially under an overpass where you can hear it resonate or if you are going to an autox or track day. I keep them on mine but I am usually driving the whisper-quiet BMW.

I think they are illegally loud if you get into the throttle around police. I've taken them to a few SCCA events where they had sound monitoring and didn't get flagged so I think they are under the limit, which is 94db I think.

I no joke got turned down for a job because of them. I got feedback after the interview that "my Porsche was too loud" and the place was in Daytona of all places!

Mine were used for $75 on ebay. Worth it for the weight savings. I have never seen ones that need separate tips but you could get them made for sure by a muffler shop.

Any decent muffler shop will be able to do it for very little $$$$. You can even do it yourself if you have a spot welder. I've seen auto parts stores selling already bent 90 degree exhaust pipes in various sizes and lengths that you can cut and modify to your specs.

knfeparty do you mind sharing what type of a job/position you were applying....

knfeparty

Sure. It was a company that makes components for aircraft engines, and I was applying as a facilities manager i.e. process improvement, making sure all of the manufacturing equipment stays up and running. Basic mech. engineering job.

You would think they would have been all about high speed loud stuff!
