New Fabspeed Boxster Muffler - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Any progress on the video or reports from the field on the system. I am interested in the new fabspeed system if it does not have that 2-3K resonance that I have heard on every other aftermarket muffler I have tried, thanks,

Ed

hi everybody, my name's Filo and I'm writing from Italy.
first of all I wanna thank you all for this fabolous forum!
Here's the point: I'm going to buy my exhaust system, the Fabspeed exhaust, but the biggest question is: from an overview from the rear, is it so "visible the the muffler? I would put on my car a muffler that doesn't too much "visible" when you look from therear of the car.

Is it possible to have a better picture of the rear of the car with Fabspeed on?

thank you!

Hello, Filo, and welcome!

I agree with you. I'd like to get a Fabspeed, or other performance exhaust system including sport cats., but most of the systems/installs I have seen show way too much of the muffler hanging down from the rear bumper. I do NOT want that look on my car. I like a very clean look.

I did talk to Fabspeed, just last week, and they are aware of this issue for the 987 Boxster owners. They are working on this concern, so I can assume others with our view have been calling into Fabspeed. He told me to check back-in in a few months, and they may have some more new products for the 987.

thank you for your reply bmussatti, your post is for me really really useful!
I'd like to point out this: I do not have a 987 Boxster but I have a 986....do you think it happens the same thing on my 986?

porschedoc, please, do you have a picture of an overview of the rear of the car with fabspeed on? thank you!

Lord, things have been so crazy around here it seems I don't have time to help out around here anymore.

I got some feedback from the customer yesterday when he dropped his son's Cayenne off for some bypass pipes, and these were some of his concerns, and he will admit, he is very picky.

Overall, he loves the sound and loudness of the exhaust. He said there is resonance between about 2400 and 2700rpms, but after that it goes away. He also thought the muffler should sit a little higher into the bumper so that the clamps for the tips were not visible from behind, though he said you have to stand back about 20 feet to see them. Unfortunately, there isn't any adjustment for that. He said it was far better than the dansk he had, but that he probably couldn't recommend it to everyone due to the loudness of the exhaust. Some of his friends thought the dansk was aggressive, though he did not.

The sport cats come with the muffler, and we did not do the headers this time around.
