I'm confused. "Working on" or currently available? The link you included in the thread starter is for the same old ad I've seen for months (years?) from FabSpeed. Where'd your info regarding the "new", resonance-free exhaust come from??

Well the 986 exhaust on their site is not what the original looked like.

Here's what the original looks like.

The new one appears to be twin canister.

Thanks for the clarification. On checking your link, I believe I do recall seeing that single cannister setup at one point (don't recall how long ago).

I'd be interested in answers to the same questions bmwm750 raised about the dual-cannister FabSpeed exhaust myself, though so far it looks like maybe nobody on this forum has any experience with it yet. So Patrick, you ready to take the plunge??

What do you guys mean by single canister? I was thinking of getting the Fabspeed system but don't want and drone.

If you go to

http://fabspeed.com/Boxster.html

and download their PRODUCT VIDEO:

http://fabspeed.com/videos/Boxster%20986%20Maxflo%20Muffler%20Explanation%20V ideo.wmv

it shows the old single canister setup.

Thanks. But I've seen the video several times. When you refer to canisters are you refering to the Cats? Are you saying that when they replace the secondary Cats with the resonators you get drone? The video on the Fabspeed site is the same video they had last year. So what is new or has changed with their system?

The FabSpeed system I have is the "older" version, which used a single rear muffler, while the "newer" system which is "still in the works" uses a dual canister muffler with a crossover pipe- a la the 987 system. Both of these delete the secondary cats.

FabSpeed needs to update the page, but I'm told this should be available in a few weeks, and they told me they'd cut me a great deal on the new system so I may try it out. I am really sick of the resonance of their older system.

Thanks Patrick. Now I understand. In Fabspeeds old video they claim that there is absolutely no resonance with their system. Did you do the old deal? Sport headers & Cats, pipes with resonators, and the one canister muffler? That's a lot of money! Was it worth it?
