Fabspeed bypass pipes

[SeattleBoxers]

I installed a set from Stebro on my 2000 S last year.

They cost less than Fabspeed's and they were easy to install.

The exhaust sounds better and the car seem to have gained some power.

The only downside is, if the engine is not fully warmed up, the exhaust will make some popping/backfire sounding types of noises when the throttle is lightly blipped coming off of idle. Not a big deal though...

Here's a photo that shows the test pipes laying next to the secondary cats.

Those are not mandrel bent pipes, which explains why they cost less.

What was the price of the Stebro and where did you buy it?

Looking at the pics, I notice the Fabspeed pipes are larger in diameter. I'll have to measure mine when I have a moment.

I'm out of town on business right now, so I don't have the receipt handy.

I think they were around $300 something and I bought them directly from Stebro in Canada.

PS: Their service can be notoriously bad. I had to call several times to find out when the pipes were going to ship, before I got them.
