Fabspeed sport cats and muffler bypass installed..SICK!!!

I just installed the fabspeed sport cats and muffler bypass pipes... The car sounds sick and there really does not seem to be any resonance to speak of.. (the 997TT does not seem to have the same resonance issues as the 996TT) The turbos spool much more quickly and the car seems to hold boost better. The sound is intoxicating and sounds as if the car should have from the factory.

Kudos to Joe Fabiani and Fabspeed motorsports...Superb customer service. He was very knowledgable and answered all my questions. I can't say enough about the possitive experience I had...

The parts are of very high quality and everything fit together perfectly..

Here is a video of the pipes on Fred's car (thanks fred)

sounds great and I am interested. Lou, did you install them yourself and is it a big job to do so. How much do they cost and do you still pass emmisions??

nice....i think i might shoot down to Fabspeed this week to get this system installed. Figured i have nothing to loose while the cost of it is nearly half of others systems due to come out soon. I can always sell it and move onto something else....

Lou- pm me with what this system costed you installed? thanks

Sam

I have heard no problems with Joe's system, in fact it's my first stop after I pick up the car. I completely trust my 130k car in Joes hands.
