Unhappy What the heck happened to Fabspeed?

Their internet domain expired and they don't appear to have a presence on the net anymore. Are they still a company or are they defunct?

Hmmm...maybe I fat-fingered my URL. I even linked from a couple of posts here and was redirected to a domain expiration notice. Weird.

Fabspeed is alive & well. They have been growing & Joe has gotten his shop together and the place is pretty nice now. They just put a set of mufflers on my son's 993.

works for me too. Maybe you guys that can't get the website have new spam blocks. My aol will do that sometimes. try just clicking on fabspeed.com without the www. Sometime that works for some unknown IT reason. Speaking of them, anyone know how many decibels does their sport catalytic converter generates. I'm thinking of installing one but I have been told I can be heard coming down the street now with my sport muffler with no secondary muffler. I don't want it to sound like a muscle car with a hollywood muffler.

Could be they changed inet providers. Takes a few days for new IPs to propagate through the internet. Old ones end up dead.

Just a thought.

I just tried it from my home computer (earlier was my laptop) and now it works for me. I suspect that the domain was perhaps temporarily down for some reason when the OP and I first tried it and perhaps after that, my laptop was using a cached copy of the site. Who knows. This internet is a strange place.
