I was listening to the muffler by-pass pipes(no muffler at all) rather than the 2n cat bypass. The 2n cat bypass is on my list, but instead of spending $500US, I was thinking about going to this custom muffler/pipe shop and they can probably make me one for a fraction of the cost.

Getting back to the muffler, anyone try to by-pass the muffler altogether? The 997's and 996's with the passpass sounds like a 360 Modena on steriods. (Go to www.fabspeed.com and then click on either 996 or 997 and find the video with muffler by-pass pipes.)

I love my car, but it would be nice if it can sound meaner without spending $1000 on a GHL or B&B muffler. The Boxster is actually one of the quietest if not the quietest Porsche right now. I 'm speculating, but bypassing the muffler may make the car sound like a 997 with an aftermarket muffler.

Comments?
