Guys -

My local dealership in NoVA (HBL) is a Champion distributor and wants to put the Champion/Tubi exhaust on my 997S. I have the extended warranty - I asked about it and I was told it would not affect my warranty since it would be a dealer-installed item. (I know - get it in writing)

Has anyone used or have this exhaust? I heard the sound clips on Champion's site and it sounds nasty (in a good way).

Your input is welcome...

 

We sell those systems here also. I think they sound great and are lightweight with great build quality. go for it

 

Chris, I just went through the whole exhaust/muffler ordeal. My local Porsche dealer also sells the Tubi products. Tubi is very expensive and nice but I went with the proven Fabspeed mufflers. I heard both of these brands before I bought and they sound alike and /or very simular. The Fabspeed is built extremely well and cost's over $1000 less than the Tubi. You can get Fabspeed direct or through various vendors. I ordered mine from Evolution Motorsports for $1095 since direct from Fabspeed they were out of stock at the time. Either the Tubi or Fabspeed are great choices.

 

I Bought My 997s With Tubi Mufflers Headers From Champion,and I Think Is Sounds The Best Out All The System You Can Buy.

 

I went with FabSpeed too. The build quality is amazing. The welds on the canisters are one of the things I show people when I show them my car. You can see them through the wheel well.

 

Hey

I had champion install tubi exhaust, and headers, sound great and increased performance i think. Champion is great!

I had installed Vivids KN intake = Garbage, caused MAF errors, redlining, and screwed up my TIP shift changes. Champion advised me that it could damage my engine and should pull it out immediately.
I returned to vivid and they are now fighting the 299.99 to take it back. (poor customer Service response). I had paid 60.00 fedex from them and 60.00 back not to mention the 120.00 champion charged me to install. They claim i shipped them porsche parts back. they are crazy. and want to charge a 35% restocking fee. Buyer Beware !

 

The Tubi (incl. tax and installation) would hit me for about $2500. I'm not OVERLY worried about cost, but the biggest factor there is that I keep my extended warranty.

Thanks for the input - the exhausts look great and should be a sweet mod.

 

Chris, I kept my warranty with the Fabspeed since the dealer installed it. $2500 installed is a good dealer because the Tubi list's/sells for $2400. Either Tubi or Fabspeed would be my choices....enjoy!
If you go with Tubi please post some pictures too and a sound bute if you are able. Thanks!

 

Tubi is great stuff.

 

I'll see if I can get the sound bite small enough to post... If you go to the Champion site, they have one. I will definitely post pics if/when I do this.

Maybe I can get the dealership to install H&R springs at the same time.

 

Both very good outfits... Really nicely made but yet it's expensive!

 

I had Tubi mufflers and headers for my previous 997s. I think its the best thing i ever got! Its like listening to the orchestra play every moment u driving!

I have no regrets at all. And I will definately buy Tubis for my Turbo.

Does anyone know anything about zero-tek. I am currently looking for a 996 exhaust and someone on here found the zero tek. It sounds great, similar to the sound given by the very expensive Kreis Seig systems. I am not sure about it. Can anyone tell me how they feel the quality and sound is of this exhaust for my 996 C4 cab? Link below.

Chris what mufflers did you oick out?

 

I've been gone for 3 weeks... I think I'll be going with the Tubi. Right now my friend and I are talking to Spike about appearing in the Bullrun. I will work my mojo to get "sponsored" parts.
