I am considering getting the Fabspeed Sport Cats & Muffler Bypass Pipes for my 997 TT.


Pros:

• Will provide the most agressive weight drop possible from an legal exhaust system.
• I like the descreased backpressure for the quicker Turbo Spoolup.
• I like a loud, racy exhuast sound.
• Price

Cons:

• My main concern is that I will lose low end torque due to the agressive pressure drop. (hopin the sport cats provide enough backpressure but not sure they will)
• I am worried about the sound not being very clean and resonance in the cab.

 

I recently heard a TT with the FS muffler bypass - sounded great but pretty loud. What makes you think this is a "legal exhaust system"?

 

I'd go for it

It sounds really good and throaty.

A lot of customers go for this option. Plus you save some weight from the rear which is always good

 

What? I cant hear you!

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

 

It's really, really loud. Did I say it was loud?

 

Had it on for one day , sounds so *****en, really really loud now multiply that by a 100
on the interior! great for the track not street.

 

I like loud, my favorite sound ever was my Ferrari 360 which was hella loud, so I descided to go for it. Ill let everyone know what i think when I get it

 

daily-no
weekend-yes

if you daily it, it will get tiresome quick...

 

Its very loud and fun for a week. Kinda like you wish you had a button to switch it on and off.
Hmmmm great idea.

 

i got the Fabspeed Sport Cats & Muffler Bypass Pipes for my 997 TT recently..... its loud, and it improves the throttle response really well. i love it.. love the sound of it... u can hear the turbo even louder.. pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssWOOSH!

 

Yeah!! That´s music to my ears, well described

Is it allowed to ask what you ´ve paid for sportkat and bypass?

 

Go for it and see if it suites you, if not then adding the FS mufflers wont be an issue as they are easy to fit.

 

Waiting on FED EX to deliver it , Ill post up some video as soon as I get it on.

 

I had the Fabspeed sport cats with bypass pipes put on today. LOUD, AWESOME SOUND, and yes the throttle response is much better. The performance increase is seat of the pants noticeable; BUT - at 3000 RPM the drone is awful! I could live with the LOUD, but not the drone. I drive my car everywhere, everyday. I'm sorry to say, the generation 3 cans are on the way.
