Bypass Pipe Exhaust Tip

CAN I GET EVERYONE OPINION ON THESE:
Bypass Pipe Exhaust Tip. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...spagenameZWDVW


I have heard the videos but I wanted to see if anyone owns a set and how do they like them. I will like for my 996 to sound a little deeper.

From what I hear they are the same as the Fabspeed pipes but more then half less the price. I would have gone with those if I saw them first.

I have these on my 2000C4 coupe. Fit and quality are reasonably good, particularly at this price.

Like any muffler bypass, the sound is certainly deeper and vary loud. So much so that I've even custom made some baffles to go inside the pipes to help quite them down.

I've got the same pipes from this company on my C4 off ebay at well over a year ago, they are constructed great. As stated above, you cant beat the price. Very satisfied. Your neighbors, wife, dog, will all hate you - it's loud... but fun nonetheless. Fitment and finish of mine were perfect. I interchange between having the cans and these when I'm in that mood..

Grab some new C clamps from your local auto store to make swapping them out easier. The factory clamps arent the greatest quality and can be difficult to reuse when changing the exhaust back and forth alot

I stuck a youtube video on here a couple weeks ago in another thread of the sound when I was testing them out, you might find it searching for my name

I've got them also. The fit and finish are excellent. They are noisy. Your neighbors won't notice... It's only slightly louder than a car with an aftermarket exhaust when idling or cruising very slowly. With that being said, it's really loud once you get on it. I mean really loud. My friends know exactly which car I'm driving when I use the phone in my 996. It's got some wicked highway drone too. However, I love it! I don't daily drive my car so it's fun to take it out once in a while and pretend I'm in a cup car The noise when downshifting is amazing...

It's about as loud as you're going to get it. I like it, but that being said, my 996 isn't my daily driver and serves no other purpose other than pure back road "mental therapy" for me.

It does sound good though albeit loud. Grab a set, try it out, put em back on ebay after the summer. You'll be out $50-$75 after its all said and done

I have had mine on for 2 years now and they are a lot of fun. I have mastered the silent take off haha it is possible to start off quiet. Just starting the car makes me smile and makes the people around me turn thier head and go "holy sh*t".It just sounds like you have a beast under the hood. I only draw back really is the loss of the low end torque, you will notice this in first gear but gain a little on the high way. Just get them for the price you can't beat it!!!
