Hello all,
I have an opportunity to pick up a Fabspeed muffler for the TT for next to nuthin'!!. I dont have specifics on which model yet but heard the car and love the sound. Would love to hear your experiences and opinions on Fabspeeb please.
TIA,

3 words: Res-O-Nance - there's a reason why so many can be had cheaply. if you truly can get it for next to nothing though, why not go ahead and try it??? it may just "work" for you!

good luck in your search

Fabspeeds are absolutely excellent. I have had sets on both my 993s and my 996.

You get what you pay for. Caviet emptor!!!

I have a fabspeed quiet. It does resonate between 1800 and 2600 rpm. It also sounds great at full throttle. You can hear the turbos spool up and it has a wonderful burble when you lift off the throttle. It is a lot lighter than the stock pipes.

If you can get it for $1k or less, go ahead....you can always flip it later.

How can you say you get what you pay for? I have almost 50K miles on mine and it hasn't had a single issue. That is not without serious use either. Over 200 dynos on it, several trips, rain, snow, heat. It still produces the gains it orginally did even after this much use. Looks like hell but is fine. I would say that is a pretty good testament to its worth.

the price sounds good, and their quality seems good. when someone
gives you a testamonial becuase they had it on their non-turbo cars it
unfortunately has no relevance, hell, I loved my fabspeed 993tt muffs!
Most people complain of "some resonance" with their fabspeeds but
you really must hear them first. considering many of us paid $4-$5k for
our exhuast systems (usually after hearing several and in my case trying
more than one), this is a good deal and could be sold easily if YOU
didnt like the sound.

Fabspeed are not for everyone but should be easy to sell since many people dig 'em. Well you can always have my GHL for $1500... LOL

NAO

Why don't you like the GHL?

BigCarrot

That is absolutely rediculous! Do you REALIZE how over priced EVERY exhaust system is for a 996tt? The Fabspeed is a small muffler, a couple of small cats, and a few feet of pipe. FOR $3,600!!! They don't even include the freakin tips! The other systems are even more of a rip off! 5, 6, 10 thousand dollars??? Gimme a break! Aside from the fact that they screwed me in the butt on the $$$, my Fabspeed is great! It sounds great, makes more power than most, and the quality is awesome!

Mine has been perfect for 30,000 miles.

Thanks as always guys. Carrot, JP, Wood, Rider and Stephen, great to hear from you guys on your positive experiences.

Gunther, is your application on a TT?

Lizard, thanks for the heads up on the rez. I'll update you all again once I take a ride in the car next week. Thanks again and keep the opinions coming

LOUD! SO LOUD IT YOU CAN FEEL IT RESONATE INTO OTHER VEHICLES IF YOU ARE ANY WHERE NEAR IT.

BigCarrot

It is NOT that loud!! Have you guys ever owned anything other that 4 or 6 cylinders???? Try a Viper or a Vette with straight pipes, and then tell me that a 911 with a Fabspeed is loud! You guys almost scared me away from buying my Fabspeed because I thought it was going to kill my ears. When I started my car after the install, I broke out laughing because it was so quiet!
