Installed Arons bypass pipes with my sport tips
Installed Arons bypass pipes with my sport tips
Got them in the mail last week from Aron (Thanks Aron!) and installed them this weekend. Install was simple as I had already installed a Fabspeed exhaust, so I knew what to do, and what tools I would need to remove it.
Here are 3 pics of Arons bypass pipes that reused my sport tips:



It sounded too loud at first(I was also inside the garage), but once I took her outside, let her warm up and broke them in, it's music to my ears. Yes loud at WOT and in tunnels, but if you are holding your speed or decelerating, it sounds similar to my fabspeed exhaust. Now I can hear the exhaust in the car with the windows closed. This was my biggest complaint about the Fabspeed exhaust.
The only negative I noticed is that on agressive acceleration I can't hear the mechanical sounds of the engine, but I can under mild acceleration.
Positive things are a savings of about 60 lbs, reusing my factory sport tips and that GT3 Cup race car sound.
Netural would be that I personally haven't heard any resonation that I have heard others speak of. Maybe in time.
Next I am going to add the Fabspeed intake and see what that does to the sound!
I think with the missing 60lbs in the rear, my wheel gap is a bit higher now, so I'll have to make up my mind between the X74 and the ROW M030. The roads around here in New England aren't the best and my driveway has a sharp angle at the end so I am leaning towards the ROW M030.
BTW these cost half the price of fabspeed....Don't know how you guys can pay $500 for $50 worth of pipe and $100 tips!

I removed the bypass pipes as they were just too loud. But here is a link to a thread that will give you all the info you need:
