Product details

The Competition X-pipe removes the Porsche 996 Carrera catalytic-converter assemblies and substitutes a direct-flow crossover for a competition exhaust build. It produces a much louder note and is intended for the manufacturer’s closed-course application. Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, is home to Fabspeed Motorsport. The company engineers sports-car exhaust systems, air intakes and ECU tuning, including Porsche applications, with product development involving dyno, road and racetrack evaluation.

  • The manufacturer notes a possible low-rpm torque loss compared with the catalyst-equipped alternative.
