I purchased a used set of Fabspeed bypass pipes from a Cayenne S owner. The Fabspeed website implies that the same pipes will also fit the Touareg V8, which I own.

Well, not quite true. The pipe bends are the same, but the flanges are different between Porsche and VW. Fabspeed has confirmed that their website is not accurate in this regard.

So, they are for sale again. I paid $350 including shipping, and I'll take $350 for them and cover shipping in the lower 48. Fabspeed charges $595 pluss shipping.

The pipes are in great condition, and come with all the flange bolts, fabspeed stickers, original box, etc. If on the wild chance somebody has a set of Touareg V8 pipes, I'd be happy to trade! They *may* also fit the Turbo, but I'd verify with Fabspeed first.

How long were the pipes on the other car?

3 months.... Here's the link to the classified ad with actual photos: https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale-ads-member-to-member-fs-wtb-free/312872-sold-cayenne-s-tt-fabspeed-cat-bypass-pipes.html

Paul bought them from me in November and is a solid guy to do business with.

If you refer to Kooser's thread. My wife assumed daily driving duties of the CS and preferred the factory exhaust sound. She liked the Fabspeed sound, but liked the more subtle sound of the factory note. I think she was concerned her friends may find out she is a gear-head deep down.

Paul, sorry I haven't responded to your email..... This is the second day I've had to catch my breath after a busy January.

on our website, we say we offer the pipes for the cayenne and touareg. we don't say that they are the same part number.

so that is where the confusion is, because the hardware and flanges are different on all the different models.

we do have everything in stock, but make sure you specify which exact model car you own.

many thanks

Thanks for chiming in, Scott. They really are in nice shape. Slight bluing, but they will still be the prettiest part of your exhaust system save the polished tips!

Jonathan @ Fabspeed. Agreed, your web site doesn't say it's the same part number. But many folks, including both Scott and myself interpreted your website that way anyway.

You list one product (Cayenne S Catbypass Pipes), then list the V8"s" and Touareg. Confusing at *best*.

I'd love for you guys to swap them out for me, or reflange them with Touareg flanges. Whatdoyasay?

Good info. I've been thinking about getting the cat bypasses for my turbo s.
Do the bypasses fit the turbo s as well as the cs?

good hands

fabspeed has great products. strongly recommend them.

I believe they do. The CS and TT should have the same exhaust from the primary cat - back.

I would check with Fabspeed for fitment assurance.

Sage Advice!

interesting, i have the exact opposite problem ... touareg pipes for a cayenne s. let me know if you want to work a trade. the pipes have about 24,000km (about 16,000 miles) on them and were mounted on an 04 touareg. there's a bit of surface rust on the flanges that can be cleaned up and an extra rubber tab was added to stop a vibration noise; no bolts and gaskets are included. see the pic below.

pm me if you want to work a trade.

Is it sold yet ??? Do u accept paypal ??? Any pic of the pipes you've got ???

pfb

m1bbb: Pipes are not sold yet, but I would prefer to work out a trade with golfguy if I can.
If not, you are first in line, and yes paypal would be fine.

Scott, would you mind posting a pic of the pipes in this thread? I can't access the link you posted.
