^^^ Correct. I doubt anyone who already has high-flow cats on their car is going to get a new set, just to get the x-pipe.

If my memory serves me correctly. The x-pipe mid section used to be a standalone product offering.

Just to clear a few things up, we can sell the X-Pipe separately and it will work perfectly but it will be "special order". We would like to sell the sport cats with the x-pipe because of the phenomenal gains we saw when combining the two. With that being said, if a customer already has a set of high-flow cats I have no problem splitting the package up to accommodate them. Please let me know who is interested in just the X-Pipe and we can get some shipped out ASAP.

Thanks guys, I apologize for the confusion.

How much would the x-pipe alone be shipped to Southern Cali zip code 91789? And does anyone know the approximate cost to have someone install this?

Thanks very much!

Thanks Nick for all the great info, glad to see we've got choices when it comes to being able to provide our customers JUST the x-pipe!

For anyone local in Southern California - we are one of the largest distributors and installers for Fabspeed products, definitely can help you get these X pipes installed here at our shop in Pasadena, CA.

Hey Nick,

Excellent job doing the dyno research and providing all the dyno results for both the combo & the X-pipe itself. I think you should still advertise and at least provide the option of selling the X-pipe separate as many may already have high flow cats but still want the X-pipe of course.

Great results for a great combination. This exhaust combo + a high performance ECU tune will be one hell of a power package and will transform any V8 into a total monster.

One Correction: You swapped the HP & TQ numbers at some of the rpms on the dyno chart, just FYI

Well done!

One of the primary reasons for our larger power gains vs. the competitors is that we (Fabspeed) use very high-flowing 200-cell HJS cat cores, which flow almost as well as our full Catbypass Pipes. I can't speak with any certainty, but our competitors may be using smaller or lower quality cat cores in the construction of their products. HJS cat cores are the best that money can buy, and for good reason.

Here is the graph of just the x-pipe installed on an otherwise stock 2007 V8 Vantage:



Compare that to the graph for the full package with the Sport Cats, and the difference is obvious. This is why we offer this product as a package, and not individually. Together, they offer the best combination of power and sound that is available for the Vantage!

Thank you, I really appreciate it! We are still looking to see if it is a reasonable option and by the posts on this thread I personally think it is! It just isn't a huge power gainer without the cats!

We have done this on a customers car in the shop and it changed the entire dynamic of the car, sound and feel!

Let me know when you want to get a system ordered up!

Thanks again!

Nick Have you come up with any secondary cat delete setups for the 2012+V8V;s. I would love to see a product similar to your DB9 Catbypass xpipe
and would have to think that others would also be interested

Unfortunately as of right now we have not but on the flip side there is nothing we can't do. I would be more than happy to get something worked out for you maybe even developing it on your car being you are only a few hours away! I will shoot a PM over now with more details on how we can go about getting this worked out for you and anyone else interested!
