This is strictly a street car. Not gonna put it on the track. However, considering eliminating the center muffler to get a little more sound and a little more HP. I like surprising the pee-pee out of 'Stang owners!

Performed a much needed nose to tail mats out, wheels off, wash, vacuum and detail.

Fender wells, frunk, engine compartment, glove box.

Found enough change to buy a PBR just for fun.

Just in time for two days of constant rain from Irma.

Hey Brooks... I was working with another customer on their 997.2 and this video reminded me of your quest. It's one of our older videos but its a great product explanation showcasing our Competition Air Intake (which you already have! **older discontinued non-carbon version pictured**) and our Center Muffler Bypass X-pipe. In-cabin shots, drive-bys, etc. Thought I'd post it up for you so you can get excited to 'surprise the pee-pee out of 'Stang owners!' and hear what your setup would sound like if you went this route

Brooks, I see your Roll Tide! my man

I have a 09 997.2 with Fabspeed carbon fiber intake, side mufflers and center muffler bypass x-pipe.

I bought the car with the components already installed, so I can not attest to performance difference over stock.

I can tell you the rumble at idle is mean.
The higher rpm, say 4500 and up is pure wicked.
I take the car on some trips, 1500 miles + and cruising 80/85 there is almost no cabin noise.

I believe you will enjoy the muffler bypass.

Hey RJ, thanks for posting about your experience! Do you have any video of your car so we can all join in the fun and hear your car? I can confirm, there is almost no cabin noise when cruising! Your setup is the ideal setup for a great sporty tone when you want it with a streetable/cruisable presence

Installed Fabspeed CAI in my 12 GTS cab 6M. Sounds nice, runs a tad smoother. More power or torque? I didn't Dyno before and after, but feels like it's breathing better and making a bit more power.
