That is correct and they will not sell you the ones for the 3.6 because they have not been tested on the 3.4.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, Finally came to a decision that fabspeed mufflers does not make me happy. Thinking of selling it and putting on full exhaust system. Anyone heard of DESIGNTEK? Doesn anyone run FVD's full exhaust system? Any suggestions on full exhaust systems? Cheers

POST 2Original post

I have Cargraphic headers, 200 cell Cats, and sport mufflers...

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8520190

Whats the sound like? Have you got any sound clips?

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 8520208

Sounds good. Not to loud and no drone...There are two sound clips on the Cargraphic web site. One is the sport and the second is the Sport Super Sound Export version which is what I have. Check it out. http://www.cargraphic.de/index.php?/s,6,7,18,715,733/

POST 5Original post

So what was the problem with the Fabspeed mufflers? What didn't you like?

POST 6Original post

I have fabs on my GT3 and think they are pretty ok. Not the greatest sound but better than stock and I pass sound at the track which was important. Fit on one side was great, the other side needed some work.

POST 7Original post

Get Europipe, great sound, no drone, VERY HIGH quality! Not Cheap!

POST 8Original post

Let me know if you are going to sell the Fabspeed....

POST 9Original post

There are tons of Porsche exhaust clips on YT. Akrapovic sound best. I know they aren't cheap.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8521980

Akrapovic is out of my budget!

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you think by getting the full fabspeed exhuast system will reduce drone?

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 8520119

100plus; We have available a number of exhaust brands. Have you ever considered Remus? They cut their teeth with Porsche and have expanded significantly with OE contracts as well as their brand. Very good quality, saves weight and improves performance.... http://www.imgt3performance.com/stor...epartmentid=45 Cheers Chuck

POST 13Original post

May not sound the same but here's a clip of the new Fabspeed Race system on my Boxster S http://youtu.be/3nha9xnK0QU

POST 14Original post

I have a full FVD setup (headers, X-Pipe 200 Cell Cat's, Brombacher Sound exhaust). Not to loud but sounds good when you get on it. Sorry no sound clips (note to self:...need to make exhaust video...) Custom ceramic coated...

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cargraphics, FVD or Fabspeed?

POST 16Original post

How many miles on the FabSpeeds? In my experience, it takes about 1000 miles for them to bed in, or at least for me to get used to them!

POST 17Original post

Quotes source post: 8521980

Akrapovic doesn't make 996 parts and they have told me directly, their 997 parts won't fit a 996.... But yeah, they're awesome!

POST 18Original post

Quotes source post: 8522132

Some exhaust designers go through an elaborate process to test thier systems for performace increases (as well as sound, etc.). I cannot speak for others but I do know that Cargraphic and AWE build thier products in line with continued performace testing. When you change the exhaust system on your car (no matter what) you will change the performance characteristics. You may lose performace, you may loss low-end performace and gain high end performance. Something will change, so know that up front..

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8523101

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, AWE does not have a exhuast system for 3.4l porsches.

POST 20Original post

my vote goes to .....stock headers+200 cell cats+FisterD's......

POST 21Original post

Quotes source post: 8523353

That is correct and they will not sell you the ones for the 3.6 because they have not been tested on the 3.4. An honest company..

POST 22Original post

Quotes source post: 8523366

I agree with this as the 200 cell cats--IMO do work. As far as mufflers, I had Hergesheimer MotorSports in Laguna Hills cut a set of 3.6 mufflers in half, totally gut them and then weld them back to together. We are running them on my friends 996 which he tracks. This a nice mod, not loud but a nice sound. I ran these on my MK1 with Cargraphic 200 cell cats and stock headers. It was a good combination with increased performance at the low and mid range curve.

POST 23Original post

i got full fabspeed exhaust...headers,200 cell x pipe cats and valvetronic mufflers (which i modified) and can't be happier

POST 24Original post

I just bought a set of M&K mufflers from a fellow member so il throw that in here. havent herd them in person yet but heres a couple vids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8HJ3HnkMTE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jlp3SlYI1Y

POST 25Original post

I have a Tubi. It sounds incredible. No drone at all.

POST 26 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8523585

What do you think of, Fabspeed Mufflers combined with cargraphic's 200 Cell cats and headers? haha

POST 27Original post

Quotes source post: 8524786

I would save my money and not get headers as the stock OEM exhaust manifolds are good and you will really not get much by changing them. I like the Cargraphic 200 cell cats and would recommend them and do believe they are a benifit (they cost a few $$ though). I cannot comment on the Fabspeed mufflers as I do not know much about them. You can try them with the cats and see if you like that combination and if not always change them later. It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

POST 28Original post

can't go wrong with cargraphic super sport and 200 cell cats... good stuff and great sound... my personal favorite is PSE for 996; I'm installing FVD 100 cell xpipe cats this week as it will "turn up the sound"... can't wait!

POST 29Original post

well if you would have listened to me in teh first place and got the Tubi's like i said to, you would not be making this thread... click link below https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ound-like.html

POST 30Original post

Quotes source post: 8525298

your gonna love this setup... I hope you have the electronic on/off, it really comes in handy when you need to sneak out of the house for a sunday drive.

POST 31 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8525516

Haha, i can't get the tubi mufflers except through my dealer in singapore ... Tey charge an arm and a leg for the tubi muffler so i went with my alternative, Fabspeed. I like the fabspeed, only thing is it drones but it is livable. I was just wondering if i swapped out the CATS for fabspeed's X-pipe would that reduce drone. Cheers

POST 32 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8522213

I am not that sure. I have been using the cans for about 5 months now. Maybe 2000km on them? Definitely can hear less drone but it is still there.

POST 33Original post

Quotes source post: 8525760

Yes Drone will go away as you Add, Pipes, Headers and Intake... I have it all and i have no Drone...

POST 34Original post

I heard drone is more dominant in the narrow body cars, and less in the wide body.

POST 35Original post

Quotes source post: 8526684

Agreed. Once I drove about 2k miles on the MaxFlows then added the FabSpeed headers, the drone went away.

POST 36Original post

Quotes source post: 8525530

no electronics - always on

POST 37 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8529484

Hopefully by adding fabspeed's X-pipe the drone will go away. Not gonna change the headers as it does not do much anyways.

POST 38Original post

Quotes source post: 8530779

drone is a function of the exhaust... adding xpipe cats will seriously magnify this drone... go get PSE or FISTER D

POST 39Original post

Quotes source post: 8530779

none of these parts do anything anyways... only sound... Headers do give a overall nicer sound... i hope you dont think you just gained 10+ hp, infact prorably lost some..

POST 40 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8531489

Defnitely ... I am only buying the exhuast for sound (: Probably higher torque at higher RPMS

POST 42Original post

Quotes source post: 8533675

one of the best sounding "mods" for a stock exhaust for sure... if you can get RUF or PSE exhaust they also sound great but $$$ ... for the money FisterD wins.
