i ordered the fabspeed cat bypass and muffler bypass. it should be here wed., it was only 360 shipped. this will be my first mod for the porsche....

im very excited. now just to get my dad to buy some exhaust for his 996, but he just bought a bike last night so his modding concerns are put on hold

 

Wow, so you're basically running straight pipes out the back. It's going to be incredibly loud, but you should have some nice HP gains up top. Have you ever driven a car with no cats or mufflers? Is it for the 87 targa?

 

it will look like this



heres a sound clip....

sound clip

ive heard cars with straight pipes and ive got some buddies with some obnoxiously louad cars so tis nothing new to me. ive head my car with open header too lol.

and yes its for the targa

 

Nice, that looks like it saves you some weight too. Didn't seem to be way to loud at all. Sometimes the cat/delete on other cars can be obnoxious but that sounded good. Well Done.

 

i guess ill find out by the end of this week. i know my car stock for stock is a bit more loud then my dads, so it will be interesting to see how much this will increase it. YAY!! no more exhaust leak or half colapsed cat.

 

how much weight savings?

 

good question, i have no clue though. ill try and figure it all out when i put it on.

 

im gonna be such a ricer now though lol, loud *** exhaust and a slow car

 

ok so its on the car and i love it. it pops alot and at WOT you can tell its a straight pipe but i still like it. fabspeed was easy to work with, they did short me on the bolts they sent but i went out and bought some so no biggy, and they were 1 gasket short but they are shipping me another so i dont care. i love the fit and finish of the exhaust it sounds great and i highly recomend fabspeed.

 

Tell me how it is. I have been looking at getting that exact setup for my targa. Someone warned me that the muffler bypass doesn't have a bracket, so when you hit a bump, the exhaust would rattle. They warned that this shaking could cause a heat-xchanger to crack/break. Have you heard anything like this?

 

Spounds great dude! The fabspeed videos on thier website are great.

 

ok well around my house i have some rough back roads and when your cruising around them it tends to bounce the car around. so far i havent had any trouble at all, the car sounds great down low, and screams up top.

that way i see it, even if it crack i weld it or i buy a new one for another 260, im still less then a cat back, it weighs less and sounds better to me. also if anything id get more performance out of this, im having some little bugs to work out with tuning my car so i cant really tell what this has done for my car performance wise. if all else fails i go buy a bracket get the thing polished and weld it to my cat bypass and to some spot on my car so it wont bounce as much.

i highly recomend it for you man, where are you located agin?? i may actually be able to take a drive out some time this week and show you my car to see if you like the exhaust. im off work from sunday to sunday so just a whole latta driving and relaxing is planned for me
