Hi there -
I haven't tried it with the non-PSE center, but I would assume it's still very loud / aggressive. With the PSE, it's loud either on or off.

 

since I already purchased the Fabspeed exhaust tips, I think I have to stick with the other Fabspeed parts, otherwise they may not fit.

 

I don't have any videos yet but will soon. I did not notice a difference one way or another.

 

did you install the pipe yourself? Was removal of the back body necessary? I would like to start with just the Fabspeed xpipe too

 

wondering if the Fabspeed race exhaust option would still allow me to pass NJ emissions? Anyone install this? I know it replaces all 3 mufflers. How loud? any video? Thanks

 

Fabspeed has some videos on their website and on YouTube. The 'Race" X-pipe will be the loudest option as it completely removes the side pipes and mufflers and replaces the center section with resonated pipes.

 

I see a lot of these discussions are based on the S model with valves on the center muffler... how about us lowly C2 3.4 owners with a standard center muffler? Would the X-pipe be the a worthwhile improvement for sound since I do not have PSE?

I have the fabspeed center muffler bypass for sale if anyone is interested.

 

Just sent you a PM.

 

David,

Most of the exhaust options listed also apply to the 3.4 Carrera. The Sharkwerks I believe right now is only compatible with the 3.8 unless you can source "S" tips and I think an S centre.

There's a YouTube video showing the FVD x-pipe on a 3.4 Carrera and it sounds pretty nice. There are other choices too.

 

Did you not like it?

 

If your looking for just a sound increase their center muffler bypass isn't for you. It may be marginally louder then the stock non pse in sport it's just that loud all the time. I decided to keep it and I removed the side mufflers to give me that extra grunt I was looking for.
