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.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Take a look inside the factory exhaust that's on your 996-997 911 Carrera model. Fabspeed owner, Joe Fabiani, explains how Porsche designed the exhaust system and how it's limited. You Tube

POST 7Original post

Awesome video, makes me glad I dropped the mufflers entirely (am currently straight pipes). The sound is amazing, and its honestly not STUPID loud. But the drone on the highway kills me so I'll be looking into fixing that...No way I'm putting big heavy mufflers back on though. Geez.

POST 8Original post

Great. Video wow I can’t believe Porsche wanted to dumb down the sound now if I can only find a shop near me to install my new used fabspeed x-pipe and 200 cell cats to get some more power Mike

I would appreciate the same video about the Fabspeed mufflers to understand how they differ from the factory ones.

POST 10Original post

I think the sound is the obvious answer from stock to a fabspeed there are a few videos

It's an easy job to do if you want to save some coin. I have to change my x-pipe out every two years for CA smog testing and it takes about 2 hours to switch.
