Prior owner of Fabspeeds as well - no real complaints - good product...but Fisters just sound better. Try a tunnel run at WOT....you'll be sold

Fister Stage II. Makes the 993 sound the way it should have if the factory hadn't civilized the sound.

I completely agree. I purchased my 993 with Fabspeeds put on by the PO and really want some Fister II or IIIs. Anyone want to trade? I'm open to selling them as well if anyone is interested. Fisters are the eventual goal.

Maxflows, or??? What do you want for them? You are going to need a 993 stock muffler core when you purchase your FD muffs.

I have seen some impressive HP/torque gains with the X pipe/cat bypass and Maxflows. You'd probably experience a similar gain with the FD Motorsports X pipes {I believe they now offer an X pipe}, cat delete and Stage III mufflers. Those pesky cats, stock or 200 cell, appear to stifle our engines.
That sounds like a nice set up, glad we were able to take care of you! The Fabspeed Maxflos are best when used in conjunction with a set of Cats or Catbypass pipes!

I have Fabspeeds on my car installed by the PO. They droned enough to be annoying. I did the LPMM treatment to the mufflers and no more droning. They sound nice, but Fister II and IIIs sound better IMO. I am also running 100-cell cats, which definitely affect the volume of sound.

No clue if they are max flows or not. I can snap some pictures tonight and maybe someone can tell me what they are. I am open to offers for them as I don't quite know what the fair price would be. I was hoping to trade for some fisters and not need to go stock and send them off. I know it's a long shot but I would trade for those or maybe stock plus some cash? I'm open on this.

Just wait until you get the Tubi bill?

I am guessing they are maxflows from their website description. I have no idea how old they are or why the driver's side tip is welded on and the passenger side is not. Anyone interested? They were put on by the previous owner and I have no information on them unfortunately. I am actively trying to sort this car out and its full of surprises. Sorry for the size. IM me and I can send the originals.

My experience with Fabspeed is fitment and droning issues. Then, you get Joe's BS excuses.

I'd go with Fisters, hands down. I've heard of NO QC issues.

Two time Fabspeed owner here. I actually like the periodic droning I'm not positive but I have heard that Fister can modify the maxflow's.
