Not fabspeed but may be a consideration. I put their non x pipe on my '99 and am happy so far.
They claim to pass MOT in the UK and cats are said to be sourced from Austria. I just could not ignore the cost differential. Time will tell.

You will loose some low rpm torque.
However, it works well with other modifications to give you a really long hp/torque band.
Be selective when you choose your headers, long primary 1 piece tubes are a must.
See the smooth power band with no dips attached

How about a quick vid of how they sound

Saw the group buy but haven't seen a lot of posts of people saying they like the tone or not, or videos so we can hear for ourselves. I know they are supposed to lose some low end torque, but every so often I hear a 996 with an x-pipe that sounds almost too good to ignore

I didn't get the x-pipe and I also added some bypasses like the Fister D mod.
The car is put up for the winter months while I do some other work. We have a lot of ice and salt up here in New England at the moment.
I'll try to get something posted after things clear up.
There are some photos (a little grainy-taken with a flip phone) here on this post from a couple weeks back.

This is the system after 3 years of use.
The quick revs, are from other mods
