Suggestion
Check your manual on the lights, you may just be rotating the switch too far or pulling it out the wrong amount and it will cause the dim light on one side as well as a tail light.

Go underneath and tighten everything up, be sure and check the tip connections.

The main thing I didn't like about other exhausts out there (when I heard them in person) was the total lack of change of sound when you start the car up cold and idle it versus stock.
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.

Finally got my fabspeed maxflow mufflers installed. They sound great and pulls hard. However Iam annoyed by a terrible fluttering sound that comes at low rpm revs. Its sounds like the tips are vibrating. Any rev ends with a pplufff. Im not sure what it is but it sounds like $%%t. Any suggestions on how to make this stop.
Resonance seems right. It's one of the things that some, but not all, people have mentioned when using Fabspeed pipes.
Feel for you but don't know what solution there is short of calling Fabspeed and working through some of their suggestions.
Sounds like something is loose, or rubbing. Go underneath and tighten everything up, be sure and check the tip connections. My new fabs sound great, I'd say zero resonance, no vibrating like you are describing. My guess would be an installation error.
Fabs are the real deal, just switched from GHL. The GHL were good, but fabs sound and pull better!
Also check to make sure that the bottom edge of the mufflers aren't resting up against the back of the bumper (where the metal heat sheild is). On one side of mine, the fit wasn't perfect and it ended up almost resting against the heat shield!
Gonna go back to speed gallery this weekend and have them check it out. Hope they can do something about it. Oh what exactly is resonance? Besides this problem the car sounds friggen crazy. The thing sounds like a beast. Honestly its a little to deep. It has somewhat taken away the infamous porsche hum. Lower gears sound great but higher gears are very deep. Any suggestions on how to get a sound clip for you guys. Would love to hear your opinons. One of my right side head lamps is out. Its not completely out its just really dull. Any suggestions on what bulbs to replace with. Ive heard sylvania is pretty good.
Love my fabspeeds! They have gotten more mellow over time however. No resonance here (and I did the install myself - with some instructive help). They are loud. The main thing I didn't like about other exhausts out there (when I heard them in person) was the total lack of change of sound when you start the car up cold and idle it versus stock. The fabspeeds made me do a double take, the rest sounded just like stock. Having said that, I can agree that they may be too loud for some, at least initially.
Yeah, something is definitely wrong. Take it back and have them take a look at it. I can post a clip from my car if you want a comparison.. let me know
I usually take HP claims with a grain of salt but I tend to believe what Joe says. For example, the Fabspeed TT setup made more power than all the other TT exhausts , including some very famous brands. It's also interesting to me that nobody ever disputes his HP claims ,or calls him on it when he bashes the other exhaust brands on the website. So there must be something to it.
Thanks for the input guys. Evo thanks for the clip, car sounds great. Im gonna try to get a clip togethor. Im really interested in what you guys think. I just dont know how to get it get the clip on here. Can you guys help me out. Ill put one on as soon as i figure out how to do it.
I've got the fabspeed install and it does the same thing. It's less of a vibration and just about every rev ends with a fart. It sounds mostly like it could be a leak at some point in the exhaust, but it's been way too cold to check it out recently.
Check your manual on the lights, you may just be rotating the switch too far or pulling it out the wrong amount and it will cause the dim light on one side as well as a tail light. I do not understand the purpose of that feature, probably something European. As for the exhaust, I abslutely love my Cargraphics, and I installed them as well as headers myself 3 yrs ago and no issues at any speed. Will
I think Will is referring to the street parking light feature. With the ignition turned off, you can light up one side of the car to try and keep others from hitting your parked vehicle. The manual is good for this sort of little gadgets/features.
I did a DIY PSE without the electronics. No vibration. Cool "gurgle" when the engine speed slows down from high rpm's. I really wanted the Fabspeeds but couldn't pass up a great deal on new oem product. Fits perfectly. Sounds throaty and loud. Totally different from stock. But sometimes I wish I had done the muffler bypass pipes. I chickened out when a lot of boarders said muffler bypasses were way too loud. I don't know. Maybe I'll put them on my '87 911.
mrhmmhmm thats a better choice of words. I couldnt figure out how to describe it. Every rev ends with a fart. Thats exactly what it sounds like. I just checked out fabspeeds maxflo muffler video for 996 and the carrera in the video slightly gives a similar fart right at the end of each rev. Maybe you guys can check it out and tell me what your opions are. Ive checked every bolt and every connection. Everthing seems ok.
I love those sounds, I don't have any mufflers! of course, I only drive my 996 a few thousand miles each year. I'd hate to travel far, but quick blasts, nothing better. Well, except for the 355!
The fabspeeds sound great like most ofl the posts here have mentioned when on throttle. However the fart sound is pretty horrible. It's only when the engine comes down from a rev.
I don't know if you bought directly from Joe, or thru a distributor, but if you call Joe F. he will definietly help you solve a problem. I think that the folks that mention something loose are probably correct. I've had Fabspeeds on 2 91 Cabs; a 98 993S; a 94 Speedster and on my 02 Cab and have experienced nothing like you suggest.
You will find Joe F. very helpful.
