Fabspeed is proud to announce the release of our Exhaust Suite for the 718. We have developed solutions from tips to turbo to help you meet your power, aesthetic, and sound goals. The 718 with its turbo boxer four cylinder engine is quite the departure from the flat-six power plant of the previous generations. Many will mourn the loss of the screaming six - and some may protest the new voice of the 718. We set out to focus on offering components to enhance select aspects of the vehicle. If you’re interested in coaxing out turbo noise alone, the Sport Catalytic Converter meets your needs. If you’d like to bring out the boxer rumble and an aggressive soundtrack filled with crackles and pops, we have two exhausts to choose from.

All components are currently available. Please see more information on each product by visiting the product threads below:

Supercup Turboback Exhaust System
The ultimate solution for performance, with 3" mandrel bent tubing to reduce turbo lag and 36lbs / 16.4kg of weight while offering an invigorating increase in turbo sound and boxer rumble.




Streetsport Catback Exhaust System

Fabspeed's Streetsport Catback Exhaust System increases sportiness, aesthetics, and performance by replacing the rear exhaust section with a freer flowing light weight performance solution that saves 18 lbs / 8.2 kg.


Sport Catalytic Converter
Increase exhaust flow by replacing the restrictive factory catalyst for a high flowing German imported 200-cell HJS HD catalyst to unlock the ideal blend of performance, efficiency, and increased turbo presence



Deluxe Bolt-On Tips (for Stock OEM Mufflers)
Increase the aesthetic appeal of your 718 Boxster /Cayman with sporty exhaust tips that give your car the look to match its performance




Our components fit both base model and S models. Our development vehicle was a base Boxster and we will be offering more dyno information and sound clips on S models as soon as possible. If you are an S owner interested in participating in the development process please let us know.

Does anyone have any questions about our 718 exhaust suite?

John@Fabspeed

I'm standing by to answer any questions you may have. We have a great range of products, something for everyone. Let me help you optimize your 718!

The factory exhaust pipes split the exhaust stream along two pipes. This arrangement is similar to the fabspeed catback exhaust. This split not only distributes exhaust gases but also thermal dissipation. The supercup turboback is one larger exhaust pipe. What are thermal implications of concentrating the heat dissipation of one pipe onto the surrounding heat shields of the vehicle? Do you anticipate higher temperatures from the supercup exhaust vs the factory exhaust?

John@Fabspeed

Not only do we use larger diameter piping but we also use .065 thick T304L Stainless Steel which has much better heat retention than factory. We do not anticipate higher temperatures from the Supercup vs the factory exhaust

Let me know if you have any questions about our lineup of 718 components!

Hi John - have you guys looked at changing the header design? I understand that the "subaru" sound comes from unequal length headers (at least in subarus) and so I wanted to know if it's possible to fit the 718 with equal length headers? Don't know if there are packaging limitations that prevent this kind of header design.

thx,
bc

John@Fabspeed

We actually have! There are two complications with the 718 header. There is very little area to work with in regards modifying the original design. You'll notice in the photos below that there is very little room to work in for altering the design. The header is sunken in and the vehicle is low to the ground, we have very little clearance. I'm happy to say that we have done testing though! The second complication is that the header gets EXTREMELY hot, so much that the headers glow very quickly during dyno testing. We're looking into all of our options to craft a solution that minds sound, power, and durability. Stay tuned!

BarryC

great! thx.

John@Fabspeed

No problem Barry, and thanks for asking!

Here are some customer videos of our Supercup Turboback System and Streetsport Catback System, which doe you guys best so far?

How is the highway drone on these?

Fabspeed Motorsport

Hey mts! We designed both of these systems to have minimal drone; there is an increase in tone and volume but by no means is the system unbearable or even close on the highway. I have a customer with a 718 CS in the shop right now and I will do a driving session with that car before it leaves to give a better idea of exhaust tone inside/outside, for fly-by's, hard acceleration, etc. Look out for it in a few weeks!

Any update on the 718 headers?

John@Fabspeed

Still making revisions on our 718 headers - should have more info shortly as we just had a 718 Cayman S arrive for more R&D.

Also, 718 (and 991.2) ECU Tuning is now available! Dyno charts by the end of the week

http://www.fabspeed.com/2017-porsche...peed-ecu-tune/

2.0T models typically see +55/80ft-lbs with the 2.5T picking up +60hp/80ft-lbs and significant driveability improvements - better throttle response and a much smoother/more linear powerband.
