Fabspeed Motorsport | It is time to wake up the Vantage V8
Thanks guys, I apologize for the confusion.
Thank you!
Thanks Nick for all the great info, glad to see we've got choices when it comes to being able to provide our customers JUST the x-pipe!
For anyone local in Southern California - we are one of the largest distributors and installers for Fabspeed products, definitely can help you get these X pipes installed here at our shop in Pasadena, CA.

Hey Nick,
Excellent job doing the dyno research and providing all the dyno results for both the combo & the X-pipe itself. I think you should still advertise and at least provide the option of selling the X-pipe separate as many may already have high flow cats but still want the X-pipe of course.
Great results for a great combination. This exhaust combo + a high performance ECU tune will be one hell of a power package and will transform any V8 into a total monster.
One Correction: You swapped the HP & TQ numbers at some of the rpms on the dyno chart, just FYI
Well done!

I spoke with our dyno tech and R&D team, and they were able to get me a dyno graph for just the x-pipe, as requested. As you can see, it makes a marginal amount of power (6-9 whp) across the rev-band, but the majority of the power in the full package is provided by the Sport Cats.
One of the primary reasons for our larger power gains vs. the competitors is that we (Fabspeed) use very high-flowing 200-cell HJS cat cores, which flow almost as well as our full Catbypass Pipes. I can't speak with any certainty, but our competitors may be using smaller or lower quality cat cores in the construction of their products. HJS cat cores are the best that money can buy, and for good reason.
Here is the graph of just the x-pipe installed on an otherwise stock 2007 V8 Vantage:
Compare that to the graph for the full package with the Sport Cats, and the difference is obvious. This is why we offer this product as a package, and not individually. Together, they offer the best combination of power and sound that is available for the Vantage!

We have done this on a customers car in the shop and it changed the entire dynamic of the car, sound and feel!
Let me know when you want to get a system ordered up!
Thanks again!

Nick Have you come up with any secondary cat delete setups for the 2012+V8V;s. I would love to see a product similar to your DB9 Catbypass xpipe
and would have to think that others would also be interested

Unfortunately as of right now we have not but on the flip side there is nothing we can't do. I would be more than happy to get something worked out for you maybe even developing it on your car being you are only a few hours away! I will shoot a PM over now with more details on how we can go about getting this worked out for you and anyone else interested!
