996FLT6

Just want to tell everyone the fabspped unit came in today and just looking at the instructions looks fairly easy to do. I'll will install it later tonite and let u guys know if ne difference. If it makes the sound better thats enough for me if a little power gain is icing on the cake : ). Joe from Fabspped stated just from airbox alone u mite realize 8-10 hp. The transaction ran quite well though a bit delayed but he kept me up to date and all. take care

I installed it yesterday.
I could not here any difference in sound.
Maybe because of the fabspeed muffler,
which has already a great sound.:-)
But the throttle response is recognizable.

Hi Gang,
Well I put mine on last Fri. Good quality stuff. Nice touch doing it in carbon fiber.

Maybe you can feel it maybe you can't. Sometimes I'm just happy to have added something that helps and I think I feel it.

You can hear it if you pay attention, it starts around 4,200 RPM. It has a little more intake sound. Has to help, just by removing the expansion chamber that took up about 25% of the air box to begin with!!!
And taking out the plastic screen has to help as well.

Best part ...no check engine light!!!

(Joe next time get the hoses in Yellow :-) )

Maybe i could not hear any difference because i am to excited over 4200 rpm.
My car gets better and better.
The next will be the RoW MO30,
is already on the way. And than my first DE in Jan.

All - I just installed the fabspeed intake on my 2000 996. Already has the fabspeed exhaust. I'm taking it to the racers group next week to get a Unichip installed and dyno tuned where they'll do an "as is" dyno run with the exhaust and intake and a "post unichip" dyno run. I'll post the dyno curves when I get them.

I forgot to mention my 996 also has an Autothority chip installed in the DME (new flash chip re-soldered in place of the stock one). Racers Group expects 10-20HP on top of that chip. Should be interesting!

Mark, Do you feel any differnces with the chip ? Perry

Can anyone explain the difference in performance from the Fabspeed unit vs. the BMC replacement filter?

I would like to look into either of them.

What are the trade offs?

996FLT6

Hello guys who love to modify just heard styx's soundbite on his fabspeed exhaust. Its totally awesome soundwise. By the way styx where did u purchase your mo30 suspension. I been thinking about that as well but first gotta tinker inot that fabspped exhaust. Sounds pretty awesome!!!!

Graham

Err, none since they both work together ... I have the BMC F1 and the modified airbox/air hose/MAF mask delete.

996FLT6:
I orderd the MO30 from this web site :
www.carnewal.com

Graham:
Do you know what MAF means ?

Thanks styx on the mo30 info. I think MAF stands for "Mass Air Flow"later

OrisChrono

Graham,

Do you feel a bigger difference by using the 2 units together than to use just either one of them?

Dennis

Hi all, I just got mine today as well. Not much to it for $200 plus dollars. Anyway, there were no intructions in the box, did anyone else get them? It appears pretty straight forward, how hard can three pieces be to figure out.

Thanks, I look forward to the dyno results you produce.

You can look on the web site the before and after picture tell you all you need to know.

1) Remove air box
2) Open airbox
3) remove expansion chamber
4) install plug where chamber was
5) remove thick plastic grill.
6) Install "Smoothing" ring (I glued mine in place)
7) hook up red hose (loose)
8) Put air box back in hooked to red hose.
9) go drive and enjoy your new "go fast" parts!
