Default Fabspeed X-Pipe

So.... I'm looking to fit a Fabspeed X-Pipe to my 3.4 991 C2, I have looked at the great reviews on here for most X-Pipes but, does anyone have direct experience with C2 Fabspeed version? Are they annoying on long drives? Do you get the crackle and pop the PSE generates??

I would be grateful for your feedback.

Tom

I have the Fabspeed X-pipe, but it's an a 2003 996. No annoying noises, no snap, crackle, pop.

I love mine, have had it installed a little under 2 months. Great sound and much better performance. SELLING IT because my new Superspint just arrived today. Contact me if you are interested. Local Porsche dealership did the install and will be the ones taking it off too.

Much better performance with just an x-pipe? Educate me. How many HP do you gain with just an x-pipe over PSE? 5 HP? 8 HP? zero HP?

You get minimal gains which will be felt by the 'loud' placebo effect.
