Default Fabspeed Components...

Just picked up Fabspeed mufflers and Fabspeed Comp. Air Intake, and was seriously considering also picking up headers and sport cats from them as well.

Now I am hearing horror stories about build quality and warranty issues. I am not here to slander, just would like some input from members that actually have experience with the products.

Outstanding experience- I had the intake and primary bypass and secondary maxflow mufflers from them. I've had great customer service support in placing the orders and for the install... and then had no quality /fitment /build issues at all.
On my current car I just have the intake.

i have fabspeed 200 cell cats and no issues. i'm not sure where all the negative talk/comments are, i haven't really heard them myself. that's the only fabspeed piece i run, but there seem to be many happy customers here also. no affiliation with fabspeed, etc.

Fabspeed has great mufflers and headers. Stay away from the air intake...it's not a true cold air intake. The stock air box is true cold air and flows plenty of air even with moderate mod's.

i have on TT

fabspeed 200 cell cats
straight pipes
also have a set of mufflers
their intake
their clubsport intercoolers

have had several other of their products before...

no qualms moreso than other companies... everything you buy for a car has a chance of not being perfectly how you want it, but their stuff lines up and installs as it should, the only qualm is how analytical do you wanna get with it.. and what do you really expect out of it.

the intake wont add 100hp.. it will heatsoak at stand still and breathe better otherwise...
their headers are good, their cats are good.. i only got one CEL but i think it was a fluke cause it reset itself.. i think something w/ bad gas/etc.

I would talk to Sharkwerks.com or GMGRacing.com Between those 2 you should get the right answer.
I like to talk to Alex at Sharkwerks or Fabryce at GMG.

i will note, my only qualm is their intake systems... i would prefer them be aluminum instead of carbon.. just makes more sense to me as carbon can be damaged easier and flakes off versus aluminum that would last forever..

exhaust wise=great products and never had any issues... i have their intake but using it for air flow necessity and my upgraded IC's cool down the temps versus worrying about true "cold air" intake.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I have headers and maxflo mufflers arriving early next week. If all goes well I will get the x-pipe too.

I live close to their shop and keep wondering whether I should stop in with my 996 Carrera sometime and see what they suggest.
