Default Video of Fabspeed Race Exhaust on a 986S

I've seen a couple of videos highlighting this exhaust but only on 987s.. Finally got around to making a quick clip of what it sounds like on my 986S.

Enjoy!

Sounds pretty good but you were shifting too early. I want more! Do you have the full headers, cats, and muffler setup?

Sounds likes I'm going to have to make a sequel No headers, just the Fabspeed system which comes with secondary cat bypass.

Sounds great!!!

I have the regular Fabspeed set up.

How's the drone with the top down between 2-3000 rpm?

Resonance / drone occurs at approx 2500-3000rpm.. It's a little annoying but nothing unbearable (for me at least)

Ah, yes I think that's key for the sound you have but we probably can't make this modification for street cars in the US. At least not in states like California with bi-annual smog checks. Did the cat bypass cause issues with your check engine light?

No check engine light issues as both the sensors are in the primary cats which are still in place.. The secondary cats are free of oxygen sensors, at least on my model.. I know some of the earlier ones were different..

Man I would get a TON of tickets if my car sounded like that.
