At last, ive just ordered the muffler bypass pipes direct from fabspeed in america, plus a maxflo air intake system, and BMC filter. Ive been contemplating doing this for nearly 3 years now, but there was always something more important or resposible to be buying. Now ive finally done it, does anyone have any tips on fitting the pipes.
1: Will I need any new clamps or anything to attach the pipes?
2: Is the installation of the pipes as quick as fabspeed make it out to be? ( Quote: One hour bolt on improvement.) "I will not be doing it myself."
3: Will my neighbor's now hate me?

If anyone has had this modification done on there car, please let us know your thoughts, or info on things I may need to know.
Thanks.
Neil.

1. No. I would use new bolts and gaskets though.
2. It is quick. I'm no mechanic but I did it myself. Hardest bit is getting the old exhaust off. Nasty job
3. Maybe. Depends what time you get up in the morning.
Also, there's no drone with the new Fabspeed pipes ;)
 
Well I did it. I had them installed today with my annual service. And all I can say is,Wow!!, It now sounds like a porsche should.
Its sounds awesome now. More like a 996 4S than a farting hairdryer. Ive always loved the car, but there was always something missing. Yep its fairly loud, but not anoyingly so. TVR loud I would say. One other thing ive noticed is that now when the windows are open I can here the turbo's where as before I could not. I also had the BMC filter and the air intake system installed. Im not sure how much difference this has made, because they were all installed together. My biggest fear was when cruising at around 60 that there would be an anoying drone, but as andmac says there was none of that what so ever. Better not come home too lait then had I.:rolleyes:
