Okay that guy made it look so simple without taking off the bumper skirt. I didn’t have an offset 13mm wrench so it was next to impossible to do without taking off the bumper skirt, which was a whole lot easier than I thought it would be. Took about 1.5 hours to do. I will post before and after videos later.

Bought my Sharkwerks cross-over pipe about a year ago. Finally had it installed last week. Sounds fantastic and I'm a satisfied man. Was a tad louder inside the cabin than I was expecting over stock PSE, but all good.

I should be receiving my Top Gear valvetronic exhaust and center muffler delete tomorrow (3 day delivery). I am from Southern Ontario so I won't be installing until the car comes out of storage but will report back when it's in 😊.

Can anyone comment on comparisons between Fabspeed, Sharkwerks, and Billy Boat center pipe delete? I am aware some cross over whereas some return exhaust to their respective side/bank. The Billy Boat is substantially cheaper than the other two options so I am leaning that way. Are they all 2in diameter pipe? I don't see the returns on spending nearly double the price of the BB midpipe.

Topgear similar to FabSpeed x pipe design.

You don't mention what model year car you have but since you're mentioning Sharkwerks I'm assuming you have a .2 car. The Sharkwerks x-pipes only replaces the center muffler on a 997.2 car. Since you have a non PSE I would look into a Tubi system since it replaces both the side mufflers and the center mufflers in one package http://www.championmotorsport.com/Tu...aust_a/154.htm.
Had that on my -09 C4S and loved it. Pretty sure this would cost you less than OEM PSE mufflers + any of the x-pipes to replace the center muffler. Don't waste money on just replacing the side mufflers or the center muffler alone. Both have to go on a non PSE car to get where you want to be.
