        Do a search for "996 muffler bypass" on YouTube. None of the videos really convey how ridiculously loud it is though.

            The bypass pipes do sound great and there's no better way to drop 50+ lbs off the rear of the car where weight loss counts the most, however you're correct that they are rediculously loud.

            I had them on my old C2 for a few weeks and couldn't take it anymore. I actually felt like I couldn't even enjoy driving the car on the street with them on there because it's soo loud when you are driving in a "spirited" manor that EVERYONE around you knows about it.

            I've got a set for the GT3 in the garage that I haven't even managed to motivate myself to mount for track days, let alone the street.

            I'm convinced that cat delete + aftermarket mufflers is the way to go. Most aftermarket mufflers will save you 10lbs per side plus cat delete saves another 20. Nearly the same weight loss, get a few HP from cat delete plus it's a managable sound level all the time.

                Yup, I can't handle them. I went for an hour long drive yesterday and I had a headache from the drone.

                Luckily, I stumbled upon a killer deal on a set of Fabspeed mufflers on Craigslist yesterday so I picked those up for about half the price of a brand new set, so I'll be installing those next weekend.

                I also met up with John (the old owner of the car yesterday) and he hooked me up with a front strut tower bar, so that should help stiffen up the front a hair.

                        New parts.

                        Going to strip it down and polish/brush it to match the wheels. This is gonna suck (I **** polishing)!

                            I want!

                            I love the upgrade, I've been a fan forever and it got worse when my bud handed me the keys to his turbo.
