jrgordonsr, who gave you the idea of the by pass pipe? I have Fabspeed mufflers and am curious how and why it affects the sound and in what why from the stock Fabspeed sound.

FWIW, I weighed the stock muffler against the Fabspeeds and the difference was 2 lbs. per side, not 10 lbs. as advertised.....

I ran the Angles Crest Highway above LA today with a friend and his 997S with AWE headers, 100 cell cats, and a stock muffler with the bi-pass tube like mine. He originally had the AWE muffler too, but said it was just too loud. Man that thing was loud and throaty. I could hear him accelerate from behind me and mine's not quiet. He also has the stage 4 chip, H & R coilovers, Evo air box, and some other performance orientated parts. He is noticably faster than me, though the cars handle pretty evenly. Lots of bikes & CHP's up there today.....

Don't 100cell cats and even 200 cell cats set off the CEL? That is what most people have said .
