Who's got some straight pipes FS?
 
Title says it all, I want some straight pipes.

Will trade with PSI loud + cash if the person who interested hasnt bought it already.

why not have a local muffler guy fab up a pipe to go straight out and weld a tip on it?
Prob cost around 3-400 and you can keep your PSI in case.

I assumed you have a 996 NA and want straight pipes. If that the case, I have a pair of straight pipes with Porsche OEM big oval tip.

PM me!

No I have a 996 TT, and the pipes are for weight savings, not sound so as long as I dont lose a lot of power I'm good. If I can find or have made a good set, I'll do that, but in that case I wont need something as good as the PSI, I'll just need something that'll do for emissions and such. My car is 90% track and 10% driving to the shop to get ready for the track, and an occasional joyride.

If you get them custom fabbed, get a smaller diameter piping, so you don't lose the low end torque and power like I did from K16's!

I gotta try it man. May try the staights before selling the PSI, but with as much track as I do, I wont be worried much about the loudness.

If you get straight pipes, you might have problems with noise restrictions on Roebling and RA sunday mornings..

heavychevy Feb 28, 2008 01:49 PM

there are simple ways around that.

This is my only concern. I need to know this wont happen.

My Fabspeed Mufler Bypass Pipes won't fit on your Turbo will they?

joyride Feb 28, 2008 02:15 PM

No.. c4s pipes won't fit.

But, even if you lose some low end torque, on the track, you won't be in the low RPM range. Thus, don't have to worry about low end torque. Freeing up the back pressure will help you in the high RPM's.

jenk12m Feb 28, 2008 02:17 PM

trying to get something as loud as the vette, huh...lol

heavychevy Feb 28, 2008 02:37 PM

Trying to lose some weight Jenk.


joyride, that is enticing as I love the power up top, but I've grown attached to the low end power and torque of the TT. I'm going to try the straights, and if I dont like the feel of it, the straights will just be for the track and I'll throw the PSI back on for the street.

joyride Feb 28, 2008 03:16 PM

I doubt you will feel much of a difference down low.
well regardless it'll sound badass when you are on it!
