Fabspeed bypass pipes - worth it??

[23109VC]

honestly, i'm not gonna drop othat much money into my boxster for power upgrades....

i'd rather spend the $500 on suspension upgrades or something. i already have 18s and M030....

maybe a techno brace?

techno torque? maybe that woudl be a better way to put some money into the car?

would the reduced weight of the pipes (3.2) unbalance the car? would one have to remove the spare.....or? to balance it?

I don't think you'd have to remove the spare, but it's a fantastic excuse to do so.

Once I learned the hard way that a rear tire will not fit in the frunk, the spare became expendable. I now carry a patch kit, a small compressor, and a roadside assistance membership card instead.

The Fabspeed bypass pipes are my favorite mod so far - well, that and the Yokohamas.

I was thinking the other day while getting groceries that the wheels on the car look way too big to fit into the trunk, so what is the point of having a spare? Are you supposed to leave your other wheel wherever you got a flat?

I'd read on one forum that if you flat the rear, you move the front tire to the rear, the spare to the front, and the flat to the passenger seat.

There was no mention of what to do if you already had a passenger.

Move passenger to pavement.

Think I'll be calling a tow truck if I ever get a flat tire in this car!
