Stebro test pipes - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I ordered some test pipe/2ndary cat deletes a while back and forgot I ordered them. I had them delivered to my parents house in case anyone had to sign for them while I was at work. My mom called me on Friday and said there had been 3 messages on their answering machine from a company that had a package for me. She didn't know the name of the company but, said it came from Canada so, then it dawned on me that I had in fact ordered them and that was the package. After work I went and picked them up and never did get a straight answer as to why they weren't delivered to the house.

Paid $330 for them shipped. Nice looking pieces, exactly like the Fabspeed pipes at a fraction of the cost. I will take pictures of the install. I was going to install them in the garage today but, all my tools were at work and I decided a lift will be my friend in this install. So, come Monday or possibly tomorrow if anyone is at the shop, I'll install them. I already have the Stebro Race muffler so, these should compliment it nicely.

I'll take some video of the car before and after the install for a sound comparison.

I was considering the Stebro catback exhaust. Do have any feedback on that?
Thanks.

I'll be curious to see/hear about your installation. I recently purchased a pair of Fabspeed bypass pipes and plan to instal once winter lets go of Chicagoland (months). The pipes were slightly used and missing some hardware, but the price was right. I have a sport muffler, but hope to achieve even a bit more sound and who needs a second set of cats anyway?

Only difference in these and the Fabspeed pipes is Stebro's are not polished. I had the Fabspeed pipes before I got a new muffler. Had a local Porsche guy offer me more than I paid new so, I sold them. I could care less if they're polished or raw as, they're going under the car. Oh and the gaskets were $3 each.

interesting, looking at them, cant that be made at a local muffler shop for under $30 and velded up? i mean, its just a pipe

I see a couple of issues with these.

A) they look simply like aluminized pipe, not stainless,
B) the bends also do not apper to be mandrel bent, and thus the ID tapers down at the bends

thus like djomlas states, they could be fabbed up for about $30 by any muffler shop.

Somebody go have them fabbed up at a muffler shop and post pictures. I'm fairly certain these are mandrel bent but, I'll contact Stebro and make sure.
