This is the first generation FVD exhaust where the cats are welded to the header for better back pressure. These exhausts are made in Germany with efficient German Tri metal 200 cell catalytic. This is a perfect setup for someone looking for both race format with some amazing Cup car like sound and shave 45+ lbs and have the option switching to a quieter setup with sport side muffler (which sounds more robust than OEM) for Laguna Seca or street driving. Each side mufflers retain the OEM sport valve function. Both race and sport setup can be combined with either stock or aftermarket center muffler/bypass
The FVD sport exhaust alone cost $6700 new and race setup cost $3500 new. This is a fantastic deal at $2600 shipped!
Here are the specs from FVD for sport setup (with side mufflers):
The FVD GT3 sport exhaust gives the 997 GT3 a more pronounced, aggressive sound similar to the 997 Cup Car. Our exhaust is much less restrictive than the factory system and offers a substantial weight savings in the rear of the vehicle. FVD's sport exhaust system consists of light weight performance side mufflers and features exhaust valve switching for front muffler bypass, allowing you the ability to retain the use of the sport button.
Our exhaust system offers impressive gains in performance, especially in the mid range, and produces an incredible sound that is pure Porsche!
High Quality T316 Stainless Steel Construction (Increased corrosion prevention over T304).
Highly efficient German Tri Metal 200 Cell Catalytics which flow like 100 Cell
Utilizes exhaust valves so your sport button works like factory with much more sound!!
The Muffler will not crack due to the extreme high heat due to our advanced mesh integration.
The headers are welded to the cats to allow for the perfect back pressure to produce good torque down low. This system produces an impressive 20HP and 20 lb. ft of torque (with an FVD software upgrade).
Reuses Factory tips or any other aftermarket tips that fit on the stock exhaust.
Each FVD side muffler weigh 17.6 lbs compare with OEM side muffler which weigh 20 lbs
