Weight vs factory?

Couldn't tell ya... sorry

There's general information at the Fabspeed site:
https://www.fabspeed.com/carrera_991.html

Different configs save from 4 to 19 pounds.

Headers, mufflers, X-pipe, carbon air box, 200 cell cats ... all up 19lb or 8.6 Kg for a blow over $7K, which, you'd have to be on blow to pay $7K for box-n-pipes instead of getting the factory power kit or wait for the 450+ horse GT3 configuration of the same engine.

Nice looking stuff, but that's getting into Inconel and Titanium prices for a modest weight reduction and no documented gains, plus the shadow of warranty issues if the engine develops even patently unrelated issues.

I think these products are in a limbo until the GT3 arrives to raise the bar to whatever level it brings.

All of these are useless without dyno numbers.

If your really concerned with increasing the power of a 991 C2 or C2's then I would suggest buying a used 997.1 Turbo that is similarly priced to a 991 C2. Intake software and full exhaust is still not going to get you a whole lot. 99% of my C2 customers are not purchasing a full exhaust for the power. Its mostly for the better sound because unless you turbo charger or supercharger an engine that is normally aspirated from the factory its not really possible to get a whole lot of power out of it. So at this point performance and weight savings are just gravy at this point.

If you had a turbo and in the market for an exhaust the selling point would be performance with better sound vs a C2 its Sound with a little performance.

As for the price CarreraGT, this set up in Titanium is twice the price, so your comment about 7.2k is almost reaching Titanium territory is not really an accurate or fair comparison and you also cannot compare a 991 to the GT3 because I think we all know that the new 991 GT3 will be a lot more money than the 991.

I know I/H/E on a c2s will not net the same gains as in a car with forced induction.

My real concern with dyno numbers is companies throwing on parts on cars that lose 7hp through most of the power band and show a 2hp gain in the last 800rpms.

But to each is own.

Have you seen this happen with Fabspeed before?

This reminds me of the golden rule of cross-examination: Do not ask a question without already knowing the answer. : )

I wrote the book on cross examination.
