Fabspeed Race Exhaust

Anyone here have Fabspeed's race exhaust on his or her boxster ? I recall hearing that a couple of members did. Looking for some feedback.

I am interested in the Fabspeed Race Exhaust. Is anyone looking to do a group buy for the exhaust? If we get enough interest I can contact Fabspeed and see what kind of a discount they can give us.

That's a nice gesture, but I'm going to need special fabrication in order for it to work with my system. With that said, I don't expect Fabspeed will move on the the price in my situation.

I'd love to find someone who could fabricate something like this for me.

M&M did a custom large tube full exhaust system for FL's Cayman GTR. List price on the build sheet shows $5900.00. See if they still have the jigs for that and don't look back!

Johnny, I may be over-simplifying, but if your chief goal is loader, just have replacement mufflers welded in to your existing system. They could even be made flanged to facilitate future changes. It sounds like you already have a well-engineered system, a muffler change won't require a new design.

I've thought about doing that. However, by the time I'm done sourcing my own high end stainless steel mufflers and hardware, to include piping so I can eliminate the small 1.75 diameter cat delete pipes, and then find a fabricator who is capable of mandrel bending and welding everything together precisely, I've either met or exceeded the cost of a custom catback.

Similar to my exhaust, mines spitting out all the wadding. I've done about 500 miles since it was fitted. I welded different tail pipes on and I think it might of burnt some of the wadding. Every time I put my foot down I see a cloud appear behind my car and the back of the car is covered in fluff. Do you think it might stop soon or anyone else have this.
