....anyone running bypass/test pipes with RSR or Carnewal's RSR-a-like mufflers? If so, is there any booming etc?

I ask as my cats may be shot and I'm considering bypass/test pipes and currently have Carnewal's RSR (modfied from standard) mufflers. Sound from pipes with standard exhaust is good (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f20eI3gNmV0 , good vid jackal!), but while pure volume is not really an issue, resonance/booming is. Kicker is that if I put test pipes on and they're crap/boomy with the RSR/Carnewal mufflers, I'm stuck with them for 2 months while touring over 5k+ miles....in short, I don't want to get it wrong!

I have decat and Fabspeed pipes on my 993 and yes it is really really boomie.When i first drove it I was going to change it.i have now adapted my driving style to avoid the boom by being in a lower gear than I would normally be in.This seems to work.Everybody that hears my car remarks on how great it sounds.

hi mario

have you seen my other video there ? cat bypass and RSR

just ridiculous ... sounds silly to be honest, like a car with no exhaust at all

even straight bypass will be louder than any other porsche you will ever come across on the road
