Fabspeed Gen 3 On

Had Joe at Fabspeed personally install the gen 3 system on my car yesterday. Just let me say what a gentleman and a first class operation and crew!
They had it done in about an hour without taking off the bumper. Nothing hangs down. Fits like a glove. I used the stock tips, which fit nicely. The sound is like a tamed tiger with a nice growl, zero drone. He makes a tip version that is even quieter, also sounds good. The power and 'spool up' are out of this world, what a fun commute in this AM. The sound of the turbos spooling up is worth the price of admission alone.
The facility is gigantic, about ten guys working for him, everything is done on site, 100% american(except for the german cats). He must have had 200 different jigs for making all kinds of exhaust components. I took some nice shots, will post later.

TTSurgeon, glad you like your fabspeed.

We installed a full fabspeed system: mufflers, cats, headers, quad tips on a 997TT as well as a GIAC flash.

The car is super fast and smooth, not to mention it sounds awesome
