2.9L V6 Macan S/GTS - High Flow Cats!

Fabspeed's Sport Catalytic Converters replace the restrictive factory cats with high-performance German-imported 200-cell HJS catalytic converters for significantly improved performance and sound. These Sport Cats flow 93 - 95% the rate of a straight pipe. Fabspeed Motorsport invested a lot of time and resources into developing the best possible downpipes and we're now proud to offer you this latest and greatest solution.

SOUND:

The new 2.9l “hot V” V6 is a great sounding engine but unfortunately the restrictive OEM catalytic converters choke the sound. These Sport Cats flow 93-95% of a straight pipe and really let this engine sing. Expect a significant increase in exhaust growl and turbo sounds. Pops, bangs and crackles will be much louder and sharper. Best of all, there is no interior drone whatsoever.

Thanks - tired eyes missed that. Wonder how easy to swap out when emission test time comes?

Extraordinarily easy, we can swap them in under a couple of hours! (They also meet all federal emissions standards, but will fail California's mandated visual inspection obviously)

So just noise - nothing more - they do look nice though!

PSA - any "high flow" cat will never be carb legal.

On the other side of things, CAI and short ram, possibly can be carb legal, but those intakes do nothing but give you the pseudo woosh sound.

Good thing the engine cover will hide them!

Do you have the install instructions?
