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

Had a Fabspeed installed on my 40th Ann. last week. I was afraid that it would be too loud and that I had made a mistake but I was surprise to hear that it's really not THAT loud bellow 4k RPM. Is it true that a new muffler will sound better after a while ? I've put on roughly 450 Km and can't see a difference. Also noticed that when I try to blip the gas on a downshift the engine sort of gargle instead of reving up. Hear that the ECU needs to adjust and it should be fine afterward. Are those old maids' tales ???

POST 2Original post

The Fabspeed get's better with age. Had mine on my car for 2+ years now and it sounds better than ever. Check this vid out. What you hear is my Fabspeed Maxflow's !! Click HERE (8mb)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess I should put my car on a boat and vacation in Spain...the driving looks fantastic, so does the sound.

POST 4Original post

Your right on both counts. The driving was absolutely awesome. The round trip for me was 2800+ miles from Liverpool, UK through France via Eurotunnel and down to Northern Spain. The trip was 15 days of pure driving pleasure with 24 other Porkers. Best vacation ever. Next year, the plan is to drive to Nice and boat over to Corsica for a similar simcha. The car never once complained. In fact not one of the 24 cars had any problems at all and most were driven real hard in the mountains. The nice thing about the Fabspeed is that they can sound like a Ferrari at high revs yet rumble and burble at low revs but the system is excellent for long trips with no resonance. I was the only one with a Fabspeed kit fitted. There were several with the PSE and all of them were questioning me about my exhaust system. IMHO, there is no comparison.

POST 5Original post

Yes, the Fabspeed does change with age. In fact, I swear it changes with temp, humidity, etc... I tend to agree it gets better with age.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Humm...we are still talking about mufflers and not wine right ? What about the engine dying instead of reving...does it go away with time ?

POST 7Original post

i am hoping the fabspeeds actually get LOUDER. mine are 6 months old and are actually quieter than the PSE i had. sound is nice and more of a vroom than the PSE bark. scouser's clips sound great from the outside and with an open cab (even closed for that matter) you can really hear the exhaust. with my coupe, the sound is muffled by the enclosed cabin and i still hear a lot of the engine "whine" below 4000 rpms. with the PSE the whine was pretty much banished, however, it was 2 years old.
