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.

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.

you can actually see in the pics where they were bent man, were not trying to diss you or anything.

I'm with you guys, you can see where they are bent and the diameter changes. I really doubt they were mandrel bent.
A few years back I had a muffler shop make a straight pipe replacement for the muffler on my Subaru WRX. With the turbo on that car and two cats you really didn't need the muffler for volume control. The straight pipe I had made looked almost exactly like these Stebro pipes. Same material and same kind of bends. I think I paid about $70 for my straight pipe. So I think you're dreaming with the $30 estimate, unless you've got a friend in the business. I don't want to guess how much it would cost, but I don't think it would be that cheap. Still I'd opt to go that route as there's no question you'd still save over the cost from Stebro.

I know, I'm just curious to see what they'd look like and how much they'd cost to have them done at a muffler shop.
I'm installing them today, after work. Look out!

So, how did this turn out? Any sound clips and driving impressions?

How did the install go? Was everything a simple bolt in with no mods?
I'm considering ordering a pair for myself, but want to get your opinion first.
Any chance of posting a video/sound clip?
