I would like to find out whether there are any rennlister that located in New Jersey that has the Fabspeed Supercup exhaust installed in their 993?

Go here and watch this boring video and at the end you can listen to the Supercups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr6mnUoOAKI
Hope this helps! They do sound great!

Thank you for all the rsponse as well as the link. I already had the Supercup exhaust on my car and the sound is awesone!!

The problem I am facing is the aligment (vertical) that the right side (looking from the back of the car) hang down about 1-1.5 inches lower than on the left side. I tried to adjust it without any success. I want to see the actual car with this exhaust so that I will know for sure whether I install the muffer corect or incorrect. I will try and take the picture and post on this forum and get people opinion.

In my personal opinion, I think I install the left side correctly since the tip looks nicely coming out from the bumper. But as for the right side, it really bother me to see it hang down about an inch or maybe 2 which is very noticeable.

This is the reason I am asking to see if there any rennlister that live in NJ area with this exhaust where I can take a good look at.

Again, thanks for all the response.

Did your 993 come with the exhaust, or did you buy it from Fabspeed? If new, have you contacted them?

This would certainly not be the first report of an ill-fitting exhaust from the Ambler crew. Mark in Baltimore will tell you to ram a baseball bat in there and adjust accordingly.

I purchased a USED exhaust from one of the Rennlisters at a very good price. I got one of the response from someone on this board to stick in the baseball bat and try to adjust from there. I would try to use the baseball bat if the fitment due to the horizontal, but mine is one side dropping by almost 2 inches compare with the other side, which make me think that sticking the baseball bat in there and adjust will not help!!

I see.

Maybe one of your engine mounts are kaput. Can you post pix???

xcusemi

I will post pic before this weekend. I think the engine mount is fine since the old factory exhaust doesnt have this problem till I put on the Supercup where I have this problem.

From what I recall the supercups that you purchased had a dent on one side. Maybe the impact caused a misallignment? Have you gone back and asked the seller if they where out of alignment?

Mark in Baltimore

If they're the 'Cups I'm thinking of, the dent was in the polished pipe section and shouldn't affect fitment.

xcusemi

Yes, that is the "Cup" I purchase. It has the dent on the polish part on the passenger side. I just e-mail the seller and asked him whether he ever has the same problem I am facing. His response is that he never noticed it. I will try to work with it this weekend and will report back the result.

Thank you for all the suggestion and help!!

Is the adjustable attachment point at the inside of the u-bend intact?
This is one of the key places to adjust the issue that you describe. It is also a point that seems to break off pretty easily. I had to have one re-welded (came off in my hand when I was cleaning prior to install) and IIRC another Rennlister described this same problem/ broken piece needing re-weld in a recent similar thread.

Also, it REALLY helps to have another set of hands when you do this install.
One to hold the muffler in place - one to do the "real" work under the car to loosen/ adjust/ tighten/ repeat...

Dear Russ:

Thank you for your suggestion. I will get another set of hand (most likely will be my wife) to help me finish this up by this weekend.

As for now, I install the muffer without bolting the other set (L shape) on. It seems to me that the Supercup is hold pretty firm by using the clamp that connect the muffer to the catalyc converter. I will try to connect the part you mention this weekend as well (as insurance since I dont want it to drop on me while driving)

Again, thank for all the response.
