Yes but it was very easy with a tool I rented from autozone... 20min to install including the cutting w/ an unpowered hand tool

Thank you! To be honest, there are really no power gains to brag about. 1-3 gains at certain points.

Yes, you cut your stock exhaust at a factory break point. You can easily return back to stock by using the included Torca clamp to reattach it.

midpipe or no?

Would you recommend just the bypass or adding the mid pipe as well?

Also I am considering their cat sport DP.

Not sure where I saw it but somewhere somebody installed a Y fitting with a switch so you could go muffler or not depending on how stealth or obnoxious you wanted to be. So that's another option if you don't want to lose the muffler entirely.

I would just do the exhaust dump. The amount of money you save by doing this and getting the same results in sound.

Yes you loose some weight if you remove the muffler, but If i had to do it again, i would keep the muffler and use the dump. This way i can be quiet when I need to be, at the house, with the wife, or at sound reduced tracks.

Its much cheaper.

It really depends on what your goals are for the car. If you plan on doing the Sport Cat and the Muffler Bypass, adding our Resonator Bypass Midpipe isn't going to make a world of a difference in sound - it will refine it a little more.

I run our Sport Cat and Muffler Bypass and I absolutely love it. Cruising around town at low RPMs it's super quite but when I want to make some noise, I switch it into Sport/Sport+ and I go have some fun!

Check your PMs - I'd love to chat more!

Is anyone able to tell me the difference of the fabspeed muffler delete between the m performance and non m performance model?

I think I may have gotten the wrong part because it seems it's too short for my m performance diffuser.

Yes the difference in length is for the diffuser. You should be getting the one for the m performance diffuser if you have either the m performance diffuser or any aftermarket diffuser.

Do you happen to know the dimensions of the muffler for either version? Trying to figure out which one I was sent. Part numbers show m performance but something is off.

I don't, but did you adjust your tips?

I've pulled the tips out as far as they will go and it won't poke out of the diffuser. It's pretty much flush but slightly inside of it so that when you look down from the trunk, it looks like there aren't any tips.
