Exhaust leak noise on Fabspeed
I recently purchased a Fabspeed Gen 2 (I don't mind the drone one bit, believe it or not, lol) and had it installed on my '02 996TT. When I picked it up from the shop, I noticed it sounded like it had an exhaust leak. The mechanic said he tightened the clamps correctly and even moved some around to see if it made a difference. It quiets down when the car is warmed up, but does not go away completely. I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and what they did about it, or even if anything else can be done. TIA

mishref will become famous soon enough
I had an issue with a loose o2 sensor on the Fabspeed Exhaust (997tt) .. I would suggest checking if they are installed properly and tight.

Rasputin is on a distinguished road
did they replace the aluminum crush rings on the turbine housinf during the install. I think they can be reused btu maybe one got whacked or was not reinstalled. good luck.

Where was the leak from your headers coming from? How did you fix it? I hear something that sounds like an exhaust leak after having my headers put on.

I just remembered, the exhaust had the "vortex cones" installed. Could they have been welded on wrong to cause a noise like this?
