Look Ma, no mufflers here either...(video)
Hahah, had to use that title cause it's !!!
After reading the topic about the peb boys muffler bypass pipes on rennlist, I went to the closest store and bought:
2pcs 90-degree elbows, 2" diameter
2pcs "rice-rocket" exhaust tips
Total cost $79.90
The install took me about an hour from start to finish!
The car sounds absolutely nuts now! I actually like how loud it is and I don't think it's too loud either.
You can sneak around with carefull throttle modulation but once you open her up...DAMN!!!!
Only downside is the somewhat ricey look and the fact that I can't hear the wonderfull engine note anymore that well...
I will try this on now for some time and If I decide I want to keep it this way, I will have a shop make me "real" ones from mandrel bent pipes and will try to incorporate the stock tips as well...
Here's some photos and a short video clip:

Love it man! Had a similar set up on my 996 C2 back in the day... Only difference is, I didn't even bother with the ricer tips. Flat black spray paint on the pipes and it's done! I miss that exhaust note to this day!

I also noticed a big drop in power (not only in the lower revs, which I thought first).
My friend gave me a GPS+G-force based performance "tester", so I'll do some runs with the bypass pipes and some runs with the mufflers. Let's see if there's a difference!
But yeah, I hear you re: a quality after market exhaust might be the way to go!
