I just modified my exhaust in my back yard. Pretty much ran 2 mufler bypass pipes to the exhaust tip. Pipes were 1 inch OD and inside was about 3/4....it sounds amazing and there is absolutely no resonace on freeway. This job is not for someone who doesnt have an arsenal of tools and experience on working with welders. If you guys want to hear it let me know and ill make a video.

I think i have few pics of a job ill try looking for them. And as far as bending the pipe i did it my self with simple manual 1" electric conduit bender. As far as resonance there is some at low steet speeds but i think is more of louder exhaust noise than resonance. And at highway speeds the exhaust gets quiet and it sounds very close to stock which is great for longet trips, but boxsters have loud cabins to begin with.....so as i sed ill looks for the pics and make that video soon. If there is more questions or someone needs directions how to do it feel free to ask.
