After I get my headers and secondary cat delete pipes on, I'm going to run with my current Crios modded stock muffler to see how it sounds, then I'll go with the Borla muffler.

I was looking at the Borla exhaust myself and at half the price it was a good deal; the only thing that kept me away from it was the drone at cruising speed; I seriously think the drone comes from the upper mounting point as some exhausts bolt directly to the transmission bracket with welded brackets where the Fabspeed utilizes the upper mounting brace of the stock exhaust which has two dampened mounts on either end. I'm sure if one was to make up a dampening plate between
the transmission and the other exhausts, a lot of the drone complaints would vanish.

Nah it won't, I've tried that and also added a cross over on the exit too to try and get rid of the drone and it's still bad. I'm going to try something else later this year and hope that works.



Your Fabspeed exhaust looks really nice and sound epic too, I'ld love to know how it's piped up inside.

Interesting, I would have thought that would make a difference... let me know what you find in your trials and modification. yes I'm impressed with the sound and its certainly a distinct tone. I could shove the snake cam inside and see what it looks like and try to make a video

If that's a Borla exhaust I've never seen it. The Borla muffler I'm buying looks like this.



As for you're "drone" issue, have you looked at Bruce's fix?

This Borla muffler sounds good to me on a 04 Boxster S!

I have this same Borla system on my 2000 S, drones like a maddog! Lots of great burble and popping. HOWEVER, when I installed the Top Speed test pipes (secondary cat deletes), the volume and drone were both significantly lowered! Makes them quite livable, and I can get away with a 92db day at Laguna Seca :-)

I was curious. I have to go with the NHP headers because I have a Tiptronic trans. They have a set with 200 cell cats and will not trigger a CEL and no modifications needed to work with a Tip trans.

I am going with secondary cat delete pipes from Circuit Werks. You've raced your Boxster at Laguna Seca?

Heiko,
I sent you a PM because I want to get this same exhaust. I have a couple questions for you.

[Heiko]

Thought I'd post of couple of the video's of the Fabspeed from outside the car.
Very happy with what the guys at Fabspeed produce :-)

Lol, just saw this. yes - been on LS quite a few times with the Boxster and one time with the Pantera! Hoping to get at least 2 track days in this year at LS as well in the Boxster.
