Anyone run the fabspeed center bypass AND fabspeed side muffler bypass?

IF so, send a video!

FYI, i only have the center bypass but was going to get the Fister Side Mufflers done.

 

I previously had the following setup:

• Stock headers
• Sharkwerks Center Muffler Bypass
• Fister Side Mufflers

Sharkwerks + Fister should sound very similar to the Fabspeed + Fister, though I haven’t heard the latter in person to compare. One big potential differentiator is the X merge on the Fabspeed vs cross pipe design on SW.

Here’s a clip I recorded recently:
I wanted bit more volume and flat 6 howl, so changed to the following setup:

• Stock Headers - may consider 200cell headers as final piece
• FVD Street Sport X pipe. This is basically side muffler delete with a pair of resonators

Haven’t had a chance to record sound clip yet, will post when I do.

I’d say there’s definitely more low end tone below 3k rpm, some might say some drone but nothing discombobulating. I only drive the car on warm, dry weekend days. It absolutely rips above 4k rpm, much more mid tone, giving that GT3-like howl. Again, sound is super subjective, just my take.

 

Sounds really good actually.

I was mistaken, I actually have the SW center muffler delete. I was thinking about doing the Fister as well but was not sure if I'd be happy with the loudness of the sound.

So I was thinking of pairing the Fabspeed Side Muffler Bypass with my SW Center bypass. Which will technically make it a straight pipe.

I wonder how loud this will be?

 

Thanks! I just looked up the Fabspeed Side Muffler Bypass Pipes, which currently retail for 835.95. Yikes. Might be worth looking into what your local muffler shop would offer / custom fabricate.

Without the resonators, I suspect there will be some rasp and low-end frequencies given resonators are designed to filter out both. How much of either there will be, I can't really say.

 

Love my Fister Mufflers!!! Sounds just like OEM PSE.

 

yeah, fister is local to me. I may do that since I have the SW center bypass already.

 

I rock the sharkwerks center with fisters. It’s glorious. Here’s a video from another member with a center bypass and a gundo mod. Basically sounds the same.

 

I have Fabspeed everything, but .1 gen car so not an accurate comparison.

 

Fabspeed side mufflers and center bypass?

 

this video clip might have sold me. Lol.

fister side mufflers may be the way to go.

 

Fabspeed CF J-Pipe intake, Fabspeed Valved mufflers, Fabspeed equal length long tube headers, Fabspeed 200 cell X-cats, but as I mentioned, my car is a .1 so the exhaust configuration is different - no center muffler location at all.



Fabspeed J-Pipe Intake (works better on my car than the Y-pipe version currently offered)

 

 

That looks like my entire bank account $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

 

Nice setup!! Would love to do the same.

Little side-track question: I have a 2011 997.2, and like most people I do miss a good exhaust sound. Only have stock exhaust, no PSE on a Carrera 4.

But my biggest issue is the PAW (Porsche Approved Warranty), i pay around 1800 USD each year to have this active - and from what I understand I cant even change the windshield wipers to an off-brand.
Anyone got some experience with having PAW and modding the exhaust?

In Norway, having PAW on a 997 is like the holy grail, you wonna keep that as long as you can - no matter what. For re-sale value.

 

Love the low cost, light burbles and the growl of the Fister/Sharkwerks Bypass combo.
