And DD, PLEASE shoot another video of these. I really want to hear how a supercharged 996 sounds with these pipes. Mine get progressively louder with each bolt on (though the K&N seemed to have the most drastic effect), but I've always been curious.

Your car is B-E-A-utiful by the way.

Thanks. I'll try it again. Maybe stand back further this time. It was weird that the mic couldn't pick up the low idle frequency. It is loud!

pjalexandre is infamous around these parts

Kinda hard to tell how they sound. I don't think you revved the engine nearly hard enough.

i find the noise to be totally unrefined and no better than the coffee can exhausts you see/hear on the econobox cars.

Glad you like them....I hated mine.

When I sold my genuine Fabspeed pipes on ebay.....I actually felt guilty like a crook.

I got $250 for them (Still a deal over ordering them new....) and all they were were 2 stainless steel elbow pipes w/ clamps! The ones for the C4S didn't even have tips, you used your stock ones.

Of course you do. I wouldn't expect any less. Pooping on other people's stuff is what you do on here

They're not for everybody. I don't know why Fabspeed charges what they do... They must make $475 on every set they sell

The ebay ones look every bit as good, are stainless, and come with tips. I wouldn't use this setup on a daily driver but for a weekend bomber they're fun!
