Default Fabspeed Muffler Bypass Pipes
Has anyone installed one of these yet for their 997 or 997s? I saw the video on fabspeed's website and it sound sweet, but I'm concerned about any droning in the cabin when driving.

I used to have 02 M3 with Eisenmann sport exhaust and that wasn't bad at all but also had a 01 and 03 honda s2000 with an aftermarket exhaust (neuspeed, hks, and spoon at different times) and they were just deafening with the top up.

Any input appreciated...

I'm just curious about how loud it actually is. Anyway, I ordered a pair since the price was pretty reasonable so I guess we'll see. I'll post some pics/sound clips as soon as I get it and get it installed.
