New Fabspeed Boxster Muffler

[PorscheDoc]

Ok guys, I mentioned it in another post, but it finally showed up on my doorstep. Fabspeed's new muffler for all 986 Boxsters. As most of you know, the old fabspeed muffler was actually a Dansk muffler which was resold by Fabspeed. The new muffler is based off their 987 and cayman design, and is 100% fabspeed. The other mufflers on the market are using 1.5" inlets into the muffler, the new system is a 2" system, and comes with the sport cats, which before were sold separately. The system is 50 state emission compliant, and will not affect any warranties.

I will be installing the system on a 2000 Boxster S hopefully this week or early next week. I will do a walk through with pictures on the install, some sound clips, etc. Once everything is a go, and I know the system is everything they say it is going to be, then I will throw it in with our holiday sale at a discounted price. Otherwise we will pitch it into the abyss. Normal retail is $1495. Unfortunately I will not be able to test this one on the dyno from stock, as the customer currently has a Dansk muffler on the car.

yeah i always wanted to get those but there alot of money,i can wait to hear the sound clips and see how they look on.GOOD CHOICE.

Hi, just checked out the video clip @ Fabspeed.com. Below's the link:

I'd love to know about how it sounds with the top up @ low RPM, under 2700RPM?

Keep us posted.

From your pix and the website it looks like a very good system.


Good luck

I'm running with a Dansk right now, but that looks very cool. Please let us know if there's any resonance issues, and show us how it looks on the car after installation. I know with the 987 version, there were comments about the lower part of the muffler exposed too much after installation.

For those of us who live in Kalifornia, where do I find the CARB approval for the sport cats which are now part of the system?

In my County, during our smog inspection for the older cars, there is a visual inspection, before you you on the dyno. The smog guy is supposed to look under the car.

Darn, the video doesn't include a full rev-out while parked. That's the money sound
