Curious on the specs. Looks like its a V-band connection to the cats. Does it come with cats or delete pipes? Any pics of it installed? I'm curious if it can be seen from behind the car. Lastly, is there a reason this has only 2 resonators, and the ones offered on the Fabspeed website have 4? 70mm? Thanks.

Won't get much louder unless you go with high flow cats or test pipes.

louder!?

i had straight pipes and the drone was just too much.

the buyer will need the Fabspeed cats to run these, and their stock tips...

these sound great, the 2 resonator ones are a little deeper sounding versus 4... if i still had my EVT670 i would have this on it..

OP, Tuned exhaust systems are a lot better than straight pipes...for sounds and performance.

On a turbo application you want the most free flowing exhaust for best performance, so as much of a straight pipe as you can get. A tuned exhaust will sound better.

Turbocharged cars have a tremendous amount of back pressure generated by the turbocharger which is up stream of the muffler. So unless you are making a lot of horsepower and feeding the car a lot of fuel and perhaps have upgraded to a larger turbine, the straight pipe only makes noise. If you are making other changes to the car, then sure - get rid of the mufflers, upgrade to headers, go to larger diameter ID exhaust, and upgrade the turbine and compressor...

So I don't know the details here...

Agree, there is a limit to back pressure reduction and power gains in the stock configuration unless the ecu, at least, is addressed.
Straight pipes are loud as sh$t and drone like a ******, sure you want that?
Lt1, can u put up a video, would love to hear it!

This is for a 997.1

I went with the 2 resonator option because the 4 sounds like the super sports exhaust.

Louder, yes. I had them make me a new x pipe with NO resonators.

Does anyone know how bad the drone is with the sport exhaust? I assume that's the V3? Thanks!
