However, I too, find it hard to believe that Porsche left 100 "easy" HP out of the factory motor. Detuned by 40 or 50 HP? Sure. Its a common fact that getting rid of restrictive OE emission control equipment can make power. Also makes perfect sense that a good tuner can squeeze a few more HP out of a motor by only assuming 93 (or higher, in the case of race chips) octane fuel, and not being held liable for certifiying the car OBD-II and emission compliant for 100k. Either way, an extra 100HP sounds far too good to be true.

I had FAB Speed exhaust on my 996 TT and the exhaust welds cracked. It was less then 1 year old and I had the local porsche dealer weld it back but the sound was different. Also the dreaded Check engine light!
I also heard that FAB speed exhaust are made in China. If you read other P forums you will see a lot of people complain about the drone noise.
Right now I have GHL exhaust installed on my 00 Boxster S and I am very happy. No problems and the sound is very cool....high wailing..closest to a 355 Ferrari spider with Tubi and GHL is only $1800 and change.
