Default Looking to buy : Used 951 Fabspeed Sport Racing Catalytic Converter

Hi all, I've installed a full 3'' Fabspeed exhaust kit last winter with only the Catalytic Converter Bypass.

It sounds good, but I'm getting tired of getting notice on the streets, I'm my wife doesn't really like it : )

Does anybody have the Fabspeed Sport Racing Catalytic Converter that they don't use and would like to sell?

I don't have the funds to buy a new one from fabspeed right now.

I didn't notice a change in sound when I went from straight pipe to their cat.

Bought from them was about $370 I think with discounts (rennlist or pca or something). It sure goes on easy enough though, but otherwise, you could have something made or welded to adapters for similar or less.

thanks! good to know that there isn't much difference in sound.

And yes, I'm looking for something that I could just swap around for track days.

Yeah, the actual FabSpeed one is just 4 bolts on one side and v-band I think it's called on the other... Once you have the right extensions/angle, not much trouble at all. And of course all the hardware is stainless and comes apart easily. Keep your eyes pealed for a used one I guess. I like having the cat so I am not a gross polluter or anyone following me isn't getting straight cancer. =)

if the fabspeed cat is the same as the SFR cat, be warned. I ruined one of those in 1 week. I was finally able to pass emissions with a $70 universal cat

Ask Mike (MM951). I sold him one with my full 3" exhaust, don't think he needs it either.

Thanks Jon.

I am looking to sell mine (Jon's former), as he mentioned. Shoot me a PM with an offer if you're interested.
