I Straight Piped My Porsche 911 and It Sounds Insane 

If you're not much of a wrench and just want to hear what it sounds like, skip to 9:06 Spoiler alert, it's LOUD.

Nice! Really increased the SPG = Smiles Per Gallon. Congrats!

11:04 - I'm really glad you managed to drag off that Prius Had me going there for a moment..

I am very happy to see a very very happy guy with this simple mod. This is one of the few sincere and not “company promoted” videos I have ever seen. You can understand this by the happiness of your face when you step on the pedal after the muffler delete. Congrats, enjoy and thank you for sharing. Enjoy each and every drive of your car.

Sounds good. Nice easy installation. Easily reversible. Overpriced at $500 for 2 bends, but relatively cheap as far as 911 exhaust upgrades go ☺

Tried this on my gt3 a number of years back. Absolutely kills the low end torque. Ended up modding the mufflers by welding in a bypass pipe. Improved the exhaust note slightly but had no negative effect on torque.

Dude your Porsche sounds amazing!!! Great job on your videos they are very enjoyable and easy to watch. You make me want to buy a Porsche more and more now haha. Don’t stop filming lol.

Sounds great, but $500 is a lot of money for 2 pieces of bent stainless steel. Leaving the cats means it's not straight piped, just muffler delete. Still, you're the one who needs to be pleased, and you are.

Thanks for the nice review. Very comprehensive and well formatted. Good quality film and audio. Not sure if I would go for it or not but good to know. Cheers

Well done video, good info and presented well. Not a fan of the sound, but it is cool to see how happy you are with it! Cheers and enjoy brother.

Your promoting two $10 pipes bent to fit, for a company that charges a few hundred bucks.

thats a muffler delete, not a straight pipe, XD . just to be accurate lol

Such a fun mod. I have muffler deletes on my Subaru and I’m about to do the same to my 911. There’s little to no performance gain beyond the weight savings, but definitely worth it.

Now you have to reset the ECU to teach-in the new exhaust conditions, otherways the engine is not running optimal. To reset the ECU you just have to disconnect the battery (negative terminal from battery) for 10-15 minutes. All data (air/fuel ratio, ignition, valve timing and control, idle speed) will now be new measured, processed and optimized.

I have a 2006 Porsche cabrio that i LOVE!! I added the fabspeed exhaust and the carbon fiber intake. BEST thing I've done..... Sounds amazing!!!!! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see the next Mod and video.

You were cracking me up, you has so much fun, it was more interesting watching your reaction than listening to what you had to say about the muffler delete lol nice video.

It’s a great mod. I went the eBay route and it was a good decision. I paid $120 I think and the fitment was legit as was the chrome on the tips. I love my fapspeed carbon intake but I couldn’t do $600 for the tips. Don’t forget the 2 1/8” exhaust clamps. The sound is bananas.

I did this to my Carrera S for two weeks, the drone was terrible at 55-65. Actually made you physically sick and I used to race Mazda rotaries which are crazy loud. The Porsche PSE is the way to go.

I like how you walked that Prius after getting it straight piped lmao

Im so excited watching you unbox the exhaust !!! its amazing !!!

Great video. Watching the first half, I thought "Cool sounds but what about drone at highway speeds " then you covered it! Keep up the good work

Love it, sounds great. I’m now going to look for the same for my Boxster, hope I can get it.

‘Overall it’s a win & sounds amazing’ before you’ve opened the box 🤣🤣

Thx for all the good informative content. Love your Porsche...I have a M5 and now you have convinced me to purchase a Porsche as well ...awesome!!!!

I did the secondary muffler bypass mod to my 997.2 S back in 2013... still running the mod.. actually really improves performance...you will see..

Did that for my 996 c4s with fabspeed muffler bypass pipes, drove it for 4 years and loved every bit of it, i reinstalled the mufflers now since my wife never stopped complaining abt how loud it is lol

Tried multiple configurations on my 997.2 C2S, this one as well. Had the local shop bend up some pipe. Hated the sound. Tried Gundo hack didn't like that. Then tried Gundo with center muffler delete (each side completely isolated) no bueno either. Finally settled on the FVD Brombacher side mufflers (no valves) with their center muffler delete (X pipe that connects both sides). Not cheap but sounds great! Quiet at cruise, almost a flat plane V8 sound at light load lower rpms, no droning, and a pissed off GT3 sound at full throttle.

Sounds fantastic great job!

Great video my boy.... I mainly needed to see how to get those suckers off the car for a coil/plug change and your vid really helped. Thank you.

Dude this is what I was looking at, I mean I don't have a 997 but at least I can live vicariously through your videos

Sounds insane buddy!! 🤪🏁🍻

Your look at 9:26.... job well done.

Congrats on the audio enhancement. Definitely a very affordable way to add so much beef to the sense of sound. Enjoy!

WTF, $500 for some bent exhaust pipe. I'll have my homies at the muffler shop bend me some pipes for $50.

Sounds like a Porsche should. Good job man 👍🏼

It sounds like your super stoked , and pumped ,, you sound loaded and excited to make this video ,, it sounds exciting , Im pumped and I have not even watched it yet ,,

Loud & proud....nice one 👌🏽

Anytime you work on exhaust systems you have to expect broken bolts. The the bolts are generally not high quality but low quality with high iron content. So couple with moisture from the air and heat, the bolts and deteriorate. And they rust BIG TIME. Use a penetrating solvent like PB-BLAST or DeepCreep.

I love loud exhaust but i kept mine for maybe a month. Couldnt take the drone and loss of low end torque. Went with gundo hack and 200 cell cats and that was amazing

Thanks for the video

If it makes you happy with this mod then mission accomplished and enjoy it! However, speaking from my own experience, you may regret this modification in the near future, but maybe not. Drone can be bad to your health, usually headaches after a short or long ride. I think the stock sound as designed by Porsche is better in my opinion. Good luck either way. Your passion for cars is great.

Beautiful sound man, congrats from Spain

That’s exactly the sound I’m looking for, and you take some weight off the car, Great video bro

Sounds totally badass!

This is pure joyyyy

Great video, in my opinion it's a Porsche 911 and already looks and sounds great in stock condition. (but I am 52 years old, and if I were your age, I would probably love the straight pipes as well.) Thanks for the video.

I've owned two 911's one was a 1981 911SC coupe, and a 2004 Cab, and I'm looking at a 997 now. I really like to see your mods on the car

Very nice. I had ordered the same pipe system from fabspeed but they screwed up my order and I got a downpipe for a bmw m3. So I canceled the order and sent my mufflers to Fister and had the mod done and a beautiful polished ceramic coating done. They look great and sound is ok on throttle and not noticeable on cruising at all. Which is nice when I need to be relaxed. I still think I may do the fabspeed pipe and get it louder. I don’t care if it’s loud. It’s a Porsche and it’s meant to be heard. I think I need to compare both in person. Sometimes video clips don’t really translate the sound like being there in person. Sometimes I feel like the noise I’m hearing inside the cabin is too whimpy but I know it’s not like that outside of the car. Thx for the video.

That shot of you leaving the Prius at the stop sign is pure money. :)

I agree APPROVED...

sounds fantastic

I watched this to get (yet another) demo on muffler removal. Excellent job with the right amount of visual detail. Wonder how it will be hoisting the heavy stock (but Fister modded) mufflers back into place and installing them.

Congrats bro! My nexr project!

you kept the X pipe with the cats installed, its not a straight pipe yet

I had a similar set-up on my 996.2 and loved it. But $500 for the "kit" definitely seems excessive!

Being a porsche and mechanic related stuff fan, this was oddly satisfying to watch. Good job

great! questions deleting the muffler is okay? for when it comes to inspections? Do you need the back muffler on when it comes the time for inspection? and how much does it cost? and any effects on gas consumption? thanks in advance.

Dope Mod!! I live 10 minutes from Fabspeed headquarters in Fort Washington, PA. I'll be visiting them in the near future. Thanks. 👊🏾💪🏾✊🏾😎✊🏾

Love that airy swish that the flat six puts out.

what about the fuel sensors and monitors ? do they self adjust? sounds great !!! You need to mention what the header manufacturer advises along with their system.

What do you think about a muffler delete for my 4banger? I know it won’t sound as good as a inline 6 just wondering🤔

U get a sub from me and a like.... I cant wait to buy my 911 and do this... so awesome brother thanks for the video!!! Cheers

Have mine for 6.5 years … love them

Outstanding.

When you have rusted bolts, heat the bolt with a small torch and melt some candle wax into the rusted threads. The wax sucks right in and they come apart no problem. BTW - Porsche cat back stock exhaust systems suck big time. First thing to replace on every Porsche.

Fabspeed is badass. I have their full exhaust from turbo back on my 944 turbo.

Use high impact sockets and wrench for the rusted bolts. Helps greatly.

Sounds beautiful brother!

Hello buddy i have a 2007 4s i saw your video and i removed my mufflers an put the pipe same as you but not fabspeed cos i am I’m bosnia no fabspeed here my car sounds fine loud as hell but the check engine light came on now i have to re map my car i sent to porsche they said we will not do it send it to tuning guys .. what do you think can it effect the engine or any change in performance by any change by muffler deletes ? Thank you ...

Insane 😍

Good job it's great if you don't have sport exhaust. Thanks for sharing your video. What year is your 911s?

I bought a '99 911 Carerra that had the same thing done. The previous owner gave me the old mufflers and I just tossed them out. My car sounds AWESOME!

It sounds really good.

Is that blue exhaust smoke valve guides?that would bug me

My neighbors and their neighbors hate me for the muffler delete on my 993TT. Fabspeed told me there is little to no drone. Well, I have never experienced more drone in my life. Is ridiculous. I expected some increase in drone but this is crazy. Gut your own mufflers and reinstall them RS stlye. Cold start in my car is freaking loud popping and growling waking up people in the am, then coming down the street at 2 or 3 am knowing you just woke everybody up is not so cool. Is fing loud, even through the turbos and cats. I coast at idle not to piss everyone off on my street, but they can already here me coming a block away. Lol. Sounds like a giant fart machine when you step on the throttle, I don't like it at all.

amazing!

Note often in small high revvving 6 cyls this leads to greater peak HP but dramatically reduced torque. You should dyno.

I’ve got them on my 996, and it’s most definitely the best exhaust for a 997 or 996

The sound in the lower rpm Range, reminds me somehow of a mid 90ties twelve- cylinder

Nice sounding Honda.

Thanks for the video! What is your thoughts on the FabSpeed competition cold air intake? I thought of installing that in my ‘06 911 4S. What do you think?

11:12 That S2000

I had those on my 996. lame and sounded like poop. Went with Fabspeed super cup Mufflers and fabspeed dual tips. Sounds perfect.

What about check engine light or passing smog? Any issues with those?

man i love the sound of all porsches

needs more race car lol as ears bleed from un-muffled exhaust tones hahaha jk love str8 piped flat-sixes!

Hi, i am looking to buy a 997 but i don t know if it is reliable, could you tell me if it is?

It sounds pretty good 👍

It's not that loud...I put a 3.5" test pipe after my downpipe, with a turndown on my evo 9...it sounds sick! I love it!!

I like the sound, and this is how a sports car should sound

40lbs and ~+5hp seems like a good mod, with a bonus of better sound? Granted $500 is way over priced, but this looks like something you could build yourself with jegs mandrel bends for $50.

11:01 I know you were going about 90mph because the wing pops up at 90. My Grandpa has a black 99 carrera 4s, that's how I know and hello from Columbus 😀

Sounds like a effing racecar!

Def sounds much better! 911s don't sound particularly good but it's one of the few cars that sounds better with straights.

That exhaust drone at low rpm would drive me insane. Should have spent the money on a short shifter kit.

2, questions, does that throw any codes, and was that the cheapest way to make her loud?

Did you just have the stock exhaust before? I have stock and sport with the button. Wonder if this mod will sounds kouder and better than my sport exhaust open. Anyone some experience?

Ooof, sounds like my 99 ford ranger I had in high-school after the muffler rusted out.

I’m going to get a 2001 carrera, what do you recommend me ?
