**Fabspeed Motorsport** | 718 GT4/Spyder Exhaust Development

A wing risers competitor RSNV suggests removing some front aero winglets to balance the additional downforce created by the raised rear wing, but like they answered this is more theoretical than wind-tunnel proven.
Other than for aesthetics, I feel uncomfortable messing up with the aerodynamics balance that Porsche spent millions to develop. I am not competent enough to challenge that.

In this video, Gary and Rob take out a Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder equipped with a Fabspeed Lightweight Competition Exhaust System. Hear what the incredible flat 4.0 sounds like in-cabin with the convertible top down when paired with our cat-back competition exhaust.

OH YEAH!
spent this afternoon installing the Fabspeed OAP. here is the very first cold start right after the install (with some initial revs). drove the car about 30 miles afterwards smiling. will consider the headers if i get used to this after a few miles.
- fitment is spot on
- new hardware is included
- installation was pretty easy
- price is just right compared the others
- no drone, exhaust note is more pronounced once you hit 3850+ rpm

Hi everyone,
Last weekend I finally got the time to install my Fabspeed valvetronic exhaust for the GT4. I had already installed the OAP pipes last year, ordered the valved resonated exhaust earlier this year but didn't get to install until a few weeks ago.
Generally I'm happy with the pitch and sound especially after 5000 RPM, but it's causing a really very bad drone in the cabin between 2000-2500 RPM, especially with valves closed. Seems like a similar experience with other brands here in this forum.
Has anyone installed the valved exhaust and the OAP and are you all experiencing this issue? Is there a way to mitigate that? It's really annoying and when cruising at city speeds it's horrible to have a conversation in the car with anyone sitting with you.
People say disabling the sound symposer helps. Any insights?
Thanks!

In this video, Fabspeed's Owner Joe Fabiani goes over how our RENNKRAFT headers for the 4.0l 718 cars allow you to swap between a catted setup for the street and a cat bypass setup for the track, all with one header.
