I have been thinking about putting this on my list of "needs" for a while, too. Haven't seen any mention of these here that I can recall. Is there any here who has any feedback on the system with the interchangable Cat/Straight Pipe configuration? Thanks.

Guys, I initially did the Fabspeed exhaust alone on my 98 993 and liked it much better than stock. I neglected to do my research regarding the sport cats and x pipe prior to its install. A few weeks later I added the sport cats and xpipe and what a difference!!!!!! Great sound and improved power and responsiveness. Worth every penny. Hope this helps.

Another option for you to consider are the Dach x-pipes with 200 cell sport cats. Many of us swear by them and they were superior to the Fabspeed offering when I bought mine. Although I had some fitment issues with a Fabspeed muffler years ago on an SC I won't knock Fabspeed, they make beautiful pieces for our cars. Check out the Dach site - http://dachperformancesystems.mysite.com/index.html - they make beautiful pieces for our cars as well.

I have the fabspeed xpipes with 200 cell cats on a 96 cab.
I don't recall much seat of the pants increase in power, although the revs seem to spool up quicker if that makes any sense.
the big improvement is sound, the exhaust sounds tighter and much better under throttle.
its a good look too, the bottom curve of the x in the pipe hangs just below the body work and visible standing behind the car. I have an early beta version so no fabspeed nameplate, but that might be visible on the new version.
I've had good transactions with fabspeed over the last 10 years, but make sure you get a written order and everything is clear. the version I bought didn't have the cat bypass pipes but was supposed to have muffler bypass pipes. I gave up trying to get the bypass pipes after a month of emails and phone calls since the process was so casual I had never ask for a receipt.

I installed them on my 96 Cab and they sound in incredible. The installation was a snap. Fit was perfect, and I like to option of easily switching to bypass pipes for the track. They are very well designed. I have had them on my car for about 9 months and I could not be more pleased. I combined them with the Fister Stage II mufflers and I get compliments on the sound every time I take the car out.

I have the FS 200 cell cats with their muffs. In my oppinion the best sound inside a 993 cab. A bit 'seat of my pants' hp gain and a crisper responce. Well worth doing both at the same time.
