Default Fabspeed Fitment Issues


My dealer is doing a great job making this right. Anyone else have this issue. Can’t get tip to line up properly. It was just a center muffler delete. Curious if there will be an additional charge for the labor.

What did Fabspeed tell you? I assume you've contacted them? Also, what year, etc. Your message is a bit of a guessing-game without those details....

‘16 Targa GTS. I guess it’s a common problem. Requires some grinding. The dealership order the exhaust and was doing the install.

I had the same issue. Later on, I identified that I was sold a 3.8 exhaust rather than the 3.4.

Did you end up being satisfied with the sound?

I installed the Non PSE max flow side exhaust and the bypass center X pipe on my 991. Relatively easy install. It’s a much sporter sound but not loud. Love it.

Well I guess the funny thing is sound is so subjective. I got my first use today and I’m happy with the sound. I will say Phil reached to make sure everything was good. So well done.

This is what FabSpeed will tell him: "I'm sorry you are not satisfied with our product, we have never never ever had anyone tell us they don't like the sound. For an extra $2k we can make it better by selling you a couple of additional parts"

Can I ask what you didn't like about the sound?
