Race pipes on a 997
#16
on our '07 GT3, we have no mufflers, just the Sharkwerks pipes straight out from the cats. Loud, howls, snarls, pops, crackles, shrieks, sounds just awesome. But my wife won't ride in our car, and I wear ear plugs. You may really upset your neighbors with such a system. But coming from a Supeformance 427 Cobra replica with unmuffled sidepipes, I am fine with it.
But not for every body.
All the best...

Carmichael has it right. Don't do it unless you like drone, going deaf, being hated, and losing a lot of low end torque in the process. It's easy for other people to suggest you screw up your car and image. Is this coworker a true friend or someone who would enjoy seeing you embarrassed?
Don't do it unless your car is for high RPM use on a track only - and then bring ear protection.

Carmichael's de-catted Honda description has me running far away lol.
My co-worker is a car enthusiast and friend - one of those people you can talk to about cars with for 2 hours straight - we were bull****ting in the office "bro you ever think about straight pipes?" Fabspeed video on youtube follows...both agreed it was badass. Sounds like it would be hell on a daily though.

You could join the local fire dept. Actually I don't think their trucks sound like that any more. Where you are if you drove it past the wrong person they might fear for their life, stand their ground and...you know how that goes. Ask yourself: do I feel warm and fuzzy when a Harley w straight pipes blasts past me? Think that x 3. Great idea? Not so much.

I don't know if 997.2's sound much different than 997.1's but i did a muffler delete on my car and its not that bad. i even get compliments and random people asking what kind of exhaust i have. I mean, it is definitely loud but i've definitely heard louder. I still have my cats. Just the side mufflers delete.

Para,
You've been talking about different cars and everything and some money must be burning a hole in your pocket. I think what you should do is go out and get you another 997.1 for about 30-35k and make it as raw as you want. That way, you can have a weekend car and do track time with it.
If I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, that's what I'd do.

This is my "I want muffler bypass pipes" go to solution once the customer realizes how loud and raw just having straight pipes is. It's a little more expensive, but the resonators and the U bend make a big difference in cutting out some of the noise.

No center muffler on the 997.1's. Just bypass pipes for the side mufflers like the ones you guys sell, but redirected to the center to fit the GT3 bumper.
Good Eye Alex, Yes It def needs some adjustements. i'm just really lazy

Oh sorry, for some reason I misread and thought you said you had a 997.2!
