Gotcha..... You are correct. The PSE are great looking but lack the right sound. Thus, thus the secondary cat delete (IMHO) is a must.

Did you get the valves etc. as well (probably not really necessary, I guess) ?

Thanks. It was a lucky find on eBay.

I didn't install the switch for the valve control. Besides being a challenge to install I would have left it on the loud position all the time anyway. It would be cool to have just to make it a "complete" install.

Also thstone recommends the $300 Topspeed muffler, and I trust his opinion as he drives and races his box like The Doctor intended. Check out his build thread. Awesome stuff.

Take a look at TopSpeed's secondary cat deletes. I bought a pair from them last year for $160 shipped. Email them and let them know you are a 986 Forum member. I don't believe that the Fabspeed pipes are worth $400+ more that the TopSpeed ones.
