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 :-)

Sounds Great!!

Well a quick update on my Fabspeed Exhaust.

I've been very happy with the sound and look - BUT

I've been trying to chase down a small exhaust leak which seems to be difficult as I could only hear it when the exhaust is very hot... as soon as the car sits and idles for 20sec the sound is gone (yes strange) anyhow I think I found it today (as it seems to be getting noisier now). The right side flex piece in the mid-section pipe has a leak and is turning brown and the left side is still like new

I know Fabspeed is known for their quality, so I'm a bit disappointed, but at the same time I know that these things happen. Before getting upset I have emailed Fabspeed and have asked what they can do to rectify the problem. No response yet but hopefully they will have an acceptable solution.
I've only driven approx. 1420 miles since the install so this should definitely not have happened. I will keep you posted as to what they say and or do.

How did this work out for you in the end? My understanding is there is a lifetime warranty on their stuff.
