Default Installed my Fister Sport Mufflers today...

And they sound awesome! The sound isn't really that much different from the stock sound in terms of tone, it's just a little grittier, and it's just loud enough. I really like it. Here's a quick video (sorry the sound quality isn't better) and a couple of photos during the installation.

Sounds great!

I've never had the bumper covers off my car. Is it as easy as everyone makes it sound?

Very easy. Removing the bumperettes is the hardest part.

Everything looks so clean underneath your bumpers. It's almost like you don't drive your 911 on gravel roads like me!

A new exhaust is in my future, just not right now. I like the way it sounds.

I'm sure they sound great.

The Stage 2 mufflers are loud, but not when cruising. When driving at 50 mph in 4th gear, I can't even tell there's a difference from the stock mufflers. Step on the gas though, and that's another story. Stage 2 mufflers are officially "wife approved".
