Wow, that sounds quite good. Thanks for posting.

Looking forward to hearing more with an OPF delete. I’m in the US and don’t see much of a reason to keep an inert sound killing can in the system.

You got that 981 popping good. Lets see how the 718 sounds...

Is it a 981? Doesn't the rear look like a 718/982?

Good bless,

That's a 4 banger 718. You can tell by the way it sounds like the car is ****ting it's pants. There is no way to make those cars sound good. Just louder.

The car in the Fabspeed video is a 718 with a 4 cylinder. The car in alexk79 is a GT4. I dont like the 4 cylinder sound. Let's see what fabspeed offers for the GT4. It's good to see options poping!

Does anyone know if the Spyder and GT4 have a Soundaktor? Basically an artificial sound generator in the cabin. The 718 base and S have it.

thanks for posting,
the fitment looks really good with no major gap from what i can,
i was hoping more from the video; some minor revving above idle leaves me waiting

Drove a 718 Spyder last week. In person, sounds MUCH better than in the video.

Absolutely. I don’t know why people expect a video taken via a phone mic and listened to via a phone speaker to sound good. Especially if the engine is on the deep/bassy side like this one (at least in the lower half of the rpm range).

Yup, the reviewers have been saying it all along. But that won’t deter the ‘look at me’ crowd from adding some brap brap brap to their cars.

Well maybe just a single 'brap', saved weight and a little more hp...
