Thumbs up Kudos to Joe at Fabspeed!

Just got back from his majesties shop for a test fit of some new C4S muffler bypass pipes. As you know, the C4S has slightly different demensions than a std c2/c4 996, so std bypass pipes won't fit well.
Joe has designed a set that fits like a freakin' glove and retains the stock tips. They sound like a GD cup car!
The best part, since Joe used my car as a tester, he gave me a set!! What a guy!!
Now, I have GHL's on my car, I expected him to find something wrong with them or tell me what a POS they were, but NO, he had nothing but good things to say about GHL, refreshing in that industry.
While I was there I got a chance to check out his 997S, sweet, and see the tricks he has up his sleeve for that car. He even offered me a chance to take it out for a spin while he worked away. You won't believe the power he's found in that car, awsome.
All in all, Joe's a great guy with a great pruduct. Do yourself a favor and check him out.

As I've said before, I've had 4 sets of Joe's mufflers on my 90Cab; 94 Speedster; 91C2 Cab; and 02 996. Never had a problem and he actually calls to follow up and see how things are going!

oh no! Joe is an awesome guy, I called him on monday and I got the parts by wednesday because I had to have it installed on thursday. Build quality is excellent and when its combined with Techart muffler, it sounds good!

Congrats with the purchase, he has always been great to me.

Just spoke with Fabspeed - I have a set of the 996 cat bypass pipes on the way!

I'll have them on this weekend and report back.

They are a pleasure to deal with.

Installed a set of GT bypass pipes on my C2 about a month ago and I love them.

Every time I take her out for a spin, I have a smile from ear to ear. Quality is great and installation was simple.

The whole project set me back about one hour but the final product....PRICELESS....

Sound Fantastic

These Fabspeed Cat-Bypass pipes not only look great they sound amazing. I have new style factory mufflers ('02) and with the bypass pipes on the thing sounds better than aftermarket mufflers.

Nice rumble at idle and a resonably loud howl at WOT. Sounds like a Cup Car!

I ran my car with my GTECH PRO Road Race before the install and as soon as the salt is off the roads, will get you guys a comparison.

Regardless ot the outcome I highly recommend due to the sound and weight savings. Way to go Fabspeed!!!!!!

I love the Fabspeed Product. I am running the Fabspeed headers to the Fabspeed Mufflers, connected by Fabspeed Twin Turbo Tips. The setup sounds great, and I will post dyno numbers in a few weeks with the supercharger in.
