Does an X50 have a different exhaust then a stock 996TT?? I am looking at an X50 at the moment (yes another car ) and I am planning on doing a Fabspeed exhaust. My question is: if the exhaust is different is this basically like gettin rid of the X50?? Is it a bad idea??
Thanks in advance,
Evan
PS-God I hope I get a car soon

 

The x50 exhaust is different or at least it's a different part number. When i put Fabspeed on the car it a made a big difference.

 

Yes - also louder...

 

So would I be reversing the X50 package?? or is it fine?? I don't want to take away from the X50, but the exhaust is just not gunna be loud enough for me.
Thanks,
Evan

 

Pull it! it has some different bafffling but it still carries almost double the back pressure of any of the aftermarket versions out there. Gains are to be had.

 

Thanks man, gotta get the car first, but if I do, Fabspeed bypass pipes here I come!! What is your opinion on the bypass pipes?? I know you know quite a bit(at least with exhausts ). I am not asking your opinion of the sound because I know its just all out loud, but for performance. Any reason not to do it??
Thanks,
Evan

 

Oh they really do make power, and demand attention

 

LOL I am looking for an exhaust to wake up all the old people down here in S. FL I think this will do the job . So I am guessing you are reccomending them (performance wise)??
Thanks,
Evan

 

Yes, I think they will crack the tiles on the roofs around there. They really do add good power. Ask Alex

 

Thanks man, you are always a great help... Now if I could only find a car....

PS-Are you a techart dealer?? I am also planning on doing a full tehcart kit (not the GTS).

 

Always a pleasure. Who else is nuts enough to take apart his own car.

I have access to TechArt. I am not a direct dealer, but a reseller.

 

Ok so you probably cannot beat the price of a direct retailer?? Honestly I think I can get the kit around 30% off retail. Does this sound good?? Also how much do you think paint and install is on the full kit ( I have no idea)??
Thanks,
Evan

 

I can try, but no promises. I will check in the morning.

Figure several thousand to prep paint and install the parts. Even though it is good stuff ALL GLASS fits like shocks on a rooster.

 

Thank you man, let me know. My email is ekoz23@aol.com incase you don't have it nemore from the last time we spoke.
Regards,
Evan

 

that's very true! (above comment)

you dont want an exhausts too loud!
too much attention ..........Cops!!!
I got ticketed twice in 6 months after I installed the TechArt exhausts!
sometime I regret putting them in.....
but what can I say.... its on the car already!
