I have the Fabspeed exhaust and was thinking about purchasing the 2ndary cat delete from a member here for about $150. They're not fabspeed.
What do you mean fabspeed pipes are proprietary to the muffler? Isn't it just a bypass pipe?

There's nothing propriety about the Fabspeed bypass pipes whatsoever . They're designed to work with just about any exhaust configuration one has on his or her 986 .

Incorrect wording. Fabspeed makes a muffler with 2" inlet pipes & mid pipes to connect to it. Fabspeed also makes midpipes for oem mufflers. (1.75" inlet ?? )

TS Pro, Fabspeed, and NHP test pipes and exhaust components are all compatible with each other since the connections are all at the same points and they are at the same angles and sizes and diameters. I am not 100% sure about that, but I did Read somewhere it on some forum or thread that they were compatible.
I bought the TS Pro 1 test pipes and cat-back exhaust since it was the cheapest and I like the sound I heard on youtube. I still have not installed them so I cannot recommend them yet.
$170 for the test pipes new and average $300 for the TS Pro 1 Catback Exhaust System. There is no way the $2000+ NHP or Danske or Fabspeed exhaust and $400+ test pipes can justify there price over Top Speeds Pro 1 exhaust and test pipes. Especially since they all offer similar weight savings and hp gains and sounds.

I believe that you're the one who's incorrect. So far as I know, the standard bypass pipes that Fabspeed offers for universal fitment are 1.75' diameter . The 2' diameter bypass pipes are proprietary in so far as they are part of Fabspeed's latest complete catback designs . Therefore, it is my understanding that they're not only incompatible with oem and other aftermarket catbacks, but with earlier Fabspeed designs as well .
