It seems that the Fabspeed muffler bypass pipes are a very good option to reduce weight with the negative of a very LOUD sound for the road.

Excuse my ignorance... Can it be (easily ) installed/un-installed by a good mechanic when going to / back from a track ?

Thanks in advance ...

It's an easy DIY job. Your mechanic should have no problem.

1. Loosen the post-cat clamp and slide it out of the way.
2. Remove the 3 nuts holding the muffler in place (via the bracket).
3. Remove the entire muffler with the tip attached.
4. Line up your muffler bypass pipe.
5. Slide the post-cat clamp over and tighten.
6. Repeat for the other side and you're done.

It's helpful to get the rear up on some ramps.

so the rear bumper doesn't have to come off?

Nope. It is a very easy job. It takes about 30 minutes.

Yep, I do mine myself and it is about 30 minnutes start to finish. A mechanic should charge no more than an hour (typically the minimum charge).

I remove the rear wheels as well, just for more clearance. I found it much easier to do that way. Otherwise, the above steps mentioned are what I do.

Enjoy! I love mine...

+1...me too, also remove the rear wheels for more clearance...very easy job to put the mufflers back on when you go to Laguna Seca...

Question for the 1/2 hour guys. Can I hire you for 1/2 hour at the typical Porsche shop rate ($100/hour) to get my bypass installed? I prefer to pay the $50.

aw come on Jersey...as much as you work on your car this is a no brainer...but if it's worth $50 for you to not have to do it...bring it by...
