In fact, I am so happy with it that I am going to put an FVD system on my 2009 997.2 C4S. I currently have the Fabspeed X-Pipe with the Fabspeed Maxflo Side Mufflers and it just isn't loud enough for me (nice set up but just too much of a "Euro sound" - too mellow/higher pitched/refined). I am looking for something more aggressive and the newest FVD system I just ordered is a slightly different approach. It is the FVD Sport Side Mufflers (Export/Sound/Loud version) but it totally eliminates the the Center muffler and doesn't replace it with a center muffler delete like the X-Pipe or a Crossover Pipe. Exhaust comes out of the Headers/Cats and goes directly to the side mufflers and then out to the tips. No center muffler/delete piping (and thus some weight savings) and a better/deeper sound than their Sport Side Mufflers with the non-merging X-Pipe. FVD says it will give +15HP/+15TQ and that TQ is reflected evenly across the RPM range. Anyway, apparently I will be the first person in the US to get this particular system and I should have it next week and once I get it installed I will do a full report. I am excited!!

Has anyone try this kit here? Would like to hear first hand experience.

Product seem to be 5 start quality but 38hp more !!!! Have my doubts

Thanks! Is it the full system with headers, cats and muffler? If so I can't wait for your feedback on it. The systems produce great gains, M&M claim + 20 crank hp & + 19 crank torque on that system. Please let me know what you guys get.

Thanks,
Rhonda

What is of even greater importance is our torque gains which are consistent across the entire rev range. FVD Brombacher is focused on mid range torque with Hp in the top end for successful track days as well as excellent useable power on the streets.

Please see the gains below with the dyno sheet (I apologize for the PS & NM but they translate to Hp & lb. ft)...

Level 3 Tuning
Max. Power - 311kW (423HP) @ 6500rpm
Max. Torque - 460Nm (339lbf ft) @ 4500rpm
Max. Speed - 310km/h (193mph)
Max. RPM - 7700rpm
Acceleration 0-100km/h (0-60mph) - 4.1s




Here is a link to this kit on our website....

Hope that helped to answer some of your questions.

Thanks,
Rhonda
