I've installed the Fabspeed quiet exhaust and Fabspeed headers and I can only say the system is really spectactular and worth every dollar. The new sound is intoxicating, I've gone out and started the car at least a dozen times just to listen to the burping and gurggling. There is zero drone, and it's just as quiet as the factory when you need it to be, yet it will make you giggle under full throttle. As others have said, the car should come from the factory this way!

I did the install myself. The components are first class, and fit perfectly. Although Stephen says it's a 4 hour install job for the exhaust, I would venture to say that it's not 4 hours the first time YOU install it, maybe after you've installed two or three systems it could happen in 4 hours. You must have all the right tools, spare studs and nuts, a lift, good directions and plenty of penetrating lubricant.

When Stephen finishes his new step by step, write-up for the 997TT install (hint, hint, wink, wink), you will be able to see for yourself if you have the time and ability to tackle the install or not. I personally think it's definetely a DIY project if you have the time, access to a lift and have the right tools. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the install experience.....I can certainly understand why $400 at the dealer would be money well spent.

Thanks to Stephen and Jeremy at ImagineAuto for great pricing and service, both before and after the sale.

 

Dlad you got everythign on and like it. I knew you would!

 

Dude did you install an exhaust and headers or film a porno movie?

 

Arrgh, arrgh, arrgh.....that's freeking funny!!!!



(I guess the other 45 people who read the post ahead of you don't have a one track mine)

 

I can't stop

 

which version did you get? I'm confused, I think they have several versions now, stephen?

 

I got the "quiet" mufflers......They also have a "loud" set of mufflers. I think the third version is the muffler bypass pipes.......but not 100% positive.

 

FSU- 997TT
Congratulations on the new system

We have two Versions of the Generation 3 exhaust.

Sport Exhaust Version 3- Moderate sound
Sport Exhaust Version 2 for Cabriolet/Tiptronic Cars-Quiet sound

We still have the sport cat/muffler by-pass pipe setup available too

 

Jeremy could you lay out all the possible versions and differences for the 997TT. For example what is version 1? TIA

 

Yes, do tell, btw ask Joe to check his email....

 

TT Gasman-
We have two versions available for the 997TT

Version 2 is designed for Tiptronic/Cabriolet models. This system can be used on 6-speed cars as well.

Version 3 will work on all models, and stiil has no drone, but is a little more agressive than version 2 at Wide Open Throttle.

For you guys/gals who want that raspy sports car sound we have the muffler bypass pipes with 200 cell sport cats available.

If anyone has any further questions please feel free to shoot me a pm or give me a call. I will be happy to answer any questions concerning our system.

 

Which is the "quiet" version that Stephen at Imagine Auto references?

 

Stephen is talking about the Version 3 System which is a great sounding exhaust with no drone.

 

I have wanted to do this but have been concerned about it being too loud. I had FVD on my 996 and it was too loud. Do you know how this compairs with the FVD?

 

It is not to loud. I have 13K on mine and sold more of these than anyone in the industry and have had one person say it was to loud. There is no drone in the cabin, only great sounds out of the tail pipe!
