Default Fabspeed exhaust...

I searched, but couldn't find EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I've heard it from the videos, and it sounds awesome... BUT...

is it worth it? it's certainly not cheap...

you will never buy another exhaust system.

sound is exceptional - rich & throuty with a touch of exotic - and definate anti-rice fart muffler

I love mine - once you pay for it ans accept that it is stupid expensive, it is all good after that.

I would do it again. Has also been to be the single best performance upgrade for me to date.

yeah the site is good, but really does not do justice to the sound.... under boost at WOT the sound is wicked, but not too loud.

can't say enough about quality. You would be hard pressed to find better, just tough to justify cost is all.

postfire? - not sure what your asking

"Is the exhuast that big of deal really."

yes in fact for these cars is a night and day difference you will notice immediately. No BS.
Fabspeed with no cat vs stock exhasut is truly night and day - faster spool and slight increase in boost itself.

I saw as more perf gain with just exhaust - than any other single mod

post fire:



basically, popping, and the occasional flame shooting out the back... caused by running rich with no cat. backfire goes through the intake, post fire through the exhaust...

I put the muffler from the fabspeed setup on a flow bench, and it flowed more air than the flow bench with nothing on it. Just another thing to consider: not only is it non-restrictive, it actually increases flow.

don't think so - but I never see from that view either.
I was running autothority chips (generally run rich)- so possible I suppose

Have 951max chip in now, but car is not allowed out in snow so have not driven it since chip swap

Holy cow! I just looked at the price for their 3'' cat back system...that IS quite a chunk...but worth it from what I've read, heard, and seen about it.

My car has a fabspeed exhaust from the turbo downpipe back, it sounds intoxicating. Not at all raspy, it has a very deep sound. Fitment is excellent and it has the ability to run just a test pipe or a race cat. I'm running the race cat now, but will swap the test pipe in for my next dyno soon. My Vitesse Stage III spools to 15 psi at 3150-3200, very impressive to say the least.

Its a wonderful system. I believe its the same system that lindsey sells part for part. So thats what I have. A full SS 3-4 inch graduated system with a magnaflow SS muffler.
