I am looking at muffler bypass pipes for my 99 996. Fabspeed has some listed for $550 and Ebay has some very similar looking for $160. One does anyone know if they are so different in construction to make one better than theother. Two, will putting these on be too loud for everyday driving. I like to hear the car but not attract the police or have neighbors wearing protection. Three, will these reduce the low end throttle not having the mufflers present for pressure? Any help would be appreciated.

Considering them myself, I'm going to have the OEM mufflers PSE hacked while they are off from my local guy $95 (including removal and installation) just in case I don't like the bypass pipes. H&H is the place that I go to here in Southeast Texas. Owners name is Van, he's been servicing all of my cars for years. Hard to find a trust worthy mechanic. He will actually come pick my cars up from the house if needed and drop them off. I've never found anyone that can chase a sound or diagnosis an issue better than he can, its amazing. One call and the car will be done before I get home.
Anyway, I'm also wondering on the quality of the Ebay bypass (do the tips stay nice or burn after a while)???

^ that looks very cool. What is the price on those? I have the ebay muffler bypass pipes and they're waayyy too loud. I dont know how anyone can enjoy them. They're fun for about 2 seconds. As soon as you have a passenger in the car who isnt a serious automotive enthusiast, or a 16-year-old boy, its downright embarrassing. I'm doing the PSE hack asap!

i dont even see them on their website. how about a video clip? i'd imagine they'd sound probably pretty similar to the afterhours exhaust, but at $850, i think its actually a tad cheaper.
