Unhappy I did the unthinkable!!

I removed my bypass pipes yesterday and went back to the stock exhaust. Unbelievable...but I MISS my bypass pipes, the car is just too darned quiet!! It's been seven hours and I am just aching to put them back on.

I thought it would be a bit of a change...but, she is just too quiet, way too quiet. I'll give it a few weeks ...but I gotta have my beast back!

LOL Robyn... well have you thought about doing something between the two... There are a lot of cool exhausts out there and you could try one out and it'll be slightly less loud

Do you by any chance have the part number? I would like to ensure it will fit my car first before committing to you. Is it 996MNT?

Robyn you will be so quiet... Can you deal with that?!?!?!?

Kirby don't be a bad influence! Of course Robyn could do with a few off-track excursions..

I'm having a hard time dealing with how quiet she is with the stock exhaust back on. I need something...or I am gonna put the bypass back on.
