Fabspeed Motorsport

Are you looking to increase the sportscar sound and performance of your 997 Carrera?

Fabspeed offers a full line of Dyno proven performance products that is sure to give you exactly what you are looking for, whether you want to concentrate on maximum track-competition performance, street use, or a blend of both.

No matter which direction you go, performance optimization starts with the headers. Our Porsche 997 Carrera Sport Headers improve exhaust flow for a power increase of +15 WHP, +12 ft/lbs. of TQ and significant increase in sports car sound. Our Sport Headers feature a 3-into-1 high velocity Formula 1 Indy car style merge collectors for improved exhaust scavenging and increased exhaust flow. Fabspeed’s 997 headers have been engineered and Dyno tested to verify maximum power and are a direct bolt-on replacement for factory OEM headers with no cutting or welding required.


The Porsche factory catalytic converters on your 997 Carrera are the most restrictive elements of the entire OEM exhaust system. There are four catalytic convertors on each and every 997 out of the factory. Fabspeed’s Porsche 997 Carrera Sport Cat X-Pipe is a simple way to significantly improve sportscar sound, performance and save weight without triggering a CEL. Our Sport Cat X-Pipe directly replaces the restrictive four OEM factory catalytic converters with high-flow, German imported 200 cell HJS catalytic cores which flow 93-95% of a straight pipe, with NO CEL! It increases WHP by +18, TQ by +22 ft/lbs. and saves 4 lbs. compared to the dense, 700 CPSI factory cores. Constructed from high-quality .065" thick C.N.C. mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel for optimum flow and maximum durability, our X-Pipe provides a significant improvement to sound, with a throatier, deeper exhaust note; a perfect exhaust upgrade for your Carrera.

For those who want maximum performance gains on a track-only build, our X-Pipe is also available in a catbypass version which adds +33 WHP, +41 ft/lbs. of TQ, and saves 7 lbs. from the rear of any 997.

We offer two options to replace the restrictive, factory 997 mufflers; the world famous Maxflo Performance Exhaust and our much more aggressive Supercup Performance Exhaust.

The Maxflo Performance Exhaust System is a catback system which improves the exhaust flow and the overall power while providing a deep and throaty sports car sound throughout the RPM range. Like most Fabspeed exhaust products, this system is constructed from high-quality 14-16ga CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel for optimum flow and maximum durability and adds performance gains of +12 WHP and +12 ft/lbs. of TQ compared to OEM.


For those who want a lightweight and more aggressive sounding system, we have our Supercup Performance Exhaust, which adds +8 WHP, +16 ft/lbs. of TQ, and saves 14 lbs. off the rear of the vehicle compared to the bulky factory mufflers. The Supercup system replaces the restrictive factory mufflers with a free-flowing resonated design, dramatically reducing backpressure and significantly adding sports car sound. Just like our Maxflo option, the Supercup is constructed using T304L stainless steel for optimal durability and is backed by our Fabspeed Limited Lifetime Warranty.


Lastly, the restrictive 997 Carrera factory airbox should be replaced by Fabspeed's Carbon Fiber Competition Intake System which increases air flow into the engine for better power and it sounds AMAZING! The competition air intake fits all 997 Carreras.

Now that you have more exhaust gasses leaving the engine, you need to get more air in! The OEM 997 Carrera airbox is good, but Porsche intentionally made it quiet and restrictive. Imagine breathing through your nose when it’s clogged.

Our Porsche 997 Carrera Carbon Fiber Competition Air Intake System opens the engine up by greatly increasing the surface area of air filter with our unique duel inlet system. This improves cold air induction into the engine which increases power and sound throughout the rpm range. Constructed with genuine carbon fiber for strength and durability, our Intake system adds +19 WHP, +21 ft/lbs. of TQ, and saves 4 lbs. This is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory air inbox; specify if you have the Tiptronic Transmission or X51 Models as they include an additional breather filter and hose for the factory PCV connection.

Now that you have more air entering and exhaust gases exiting the 997 flat six, all of these upgrades are then optimized by the Fabspeed ECU Tune which re-maps the timing, air-fuel ratios, and more to take full advantage of the upgraded components. Fabspeed Motorsport offers an alternative tuning method for vehicles equipped with ECU's that traditionally required bench flashing. No longer do you need to remove your Carrera's ECU and mail it in for a tune. We offer a MyGenius handheld device that interfaces with the OBD-II port on your Carrera and your computer to complete the tuning process right at home. With just our ECU tune alone, you can expect maximum power gains of 24 whp and 20 ft-lbs of torque at 6300 RPM without sacrificing drivability! ECU Tune is highly recommended if you get the Catbypass X-Pipe option.



Take a peek at the options and feel free to reach out for forum pricing!!

Porsche 997 Carrera 997 Maxflo's in stock ready to ship!!

Two more killer builds coming out of Fabspeed, check out one of our customer videos of the Maxflo set up, and I hope everyone has a safe holiday!!

Pardon me for my ignorance, but let me know if I am reading your original post correctly.

So on my 2009 Carrera 4S if I were to get sport headers, the catbypass x pipe, the maxflo exhaust, fabspeed intake and an ECU tune, I would be seeing a gain of 103hp and 106 ft/lbs of torque? Would be great if you could share the dyno charts showing 100hp gains for intake/exhaust/ECU only.

Thanks!

It just so happens that I have fabspeed headers, cat xpipe, older single cone intake, and maxflo mufflers. I'm pretty...no completely...sure those numbers are not cumulative. It sounds great though.

Fabspeed Motorsport

Correct, you cannot stack HP numbers to get one cumulative total. That would be sweet though!

Super old-school video here, but nothing has changed! Take a look at this break down of our set up for the 997 Carrera's

I have a full set. purchased about a year ago, the whole shipping and cs experience still haunt me. and the finshing on the tip is coming off already.

Fabspeed Motorsport

I'm terribly sorry to hear this, please shoot me an email directly at Scott.Keating@Fabspeed.com I would love to help out where I can!

alvinl

lol. dont bother... i am not going tip less for 2 months.

quote from email
"And just a note on the tips. We make the tips in house from stainless, we don't have a powdercoating and ceramic coating setup in house. We ship them in batches to be done in chrome or black chrome, or just black. Usually they are perfect but when it takes them two weeks to do all our tips plus three days to send them back and a day to inspect, only to find out they needed to be sent back due to inconsistent finish, it makes giving accurate completion dates to the end user. That could have been communicated better on our part and I apologize for that."

if i send it back. this will be the third time you do the tip. coz the second time failed months ago, so dont even bother, waste time and money on shipping.

myw

if its the 3rd time - the vendor should pay for shipping and associated charges.

I sent you a PM, I would love to help out personally.

There is a lot of debate about aftermarket air intake on this forum so I thought I'd relay my first-hand experience. Earlier this year I bought a 2008 Carrera S with 23k miles. Absolutely beautiful, pristine, even all the ***** on the dash and door are perfect. It came with Fabspeed Competition air intake and Maxflo exhaust already installed. Unfortunately I do not know whether it had the ECU mapping performed. I cannot compare "before" power to "after" so I do not know if there has been a power increase, but I can say the car is fast as hell. I drive in stop-and-go Atlanta traffic in 97 degree weather and the car runs great. There are so many air intake haters and purists on here that I raise the rear spoiler when driving in slow traffic, but the car runs great either way. The one difference which I know is absolutely attributable to the FS system is the exhaust note. In city driving, it is quiet and composed. At high revs, it is absolutely glorious. Deep and powerful, how a supercar should sound. Stock Porsche exhaust sounds harsh and mechanical. FS exhaust sounds beautiful. For whatever reason, people on the internet love to be a hater. There is probably not a single modification you can do to your Porsche which someone on some forum won't hate on. Yet, if we gave a **** what other people think, we wouldn't have bought a Porsche in the first place. F the haters, do your Porsche your way.

pcaskey57

I second that!!! I purchased the full Fabspeed setup and ECU Tune and would do it all over again. The sound alone was worth the money but the increased hp and knowing the engine is breathing easier is just a no brainer!

Fabspeed Motorsport

Great to hear it! Let us know if we can help with any future performance needs.
