Hmmm...must have skipped right over my sound clip

Fabspeed is very popular for a reason. I'm sure you will like it, great improvement over those stock cans (a huge and unexpected disappointment for me).

Haven't heard much about Schnell. Seems reasonably priced and look about the same as Fabspeed.

good choice ^^. order the SS clamps while you are at it, makes install a whole bunch easier.

^+100. I just installed my fabspeed mufflers and it's fantastic. I would also recommend that you order the clamps as it will make your life a lot easier.

In my case, I luckily had access to an Oxy/ Acetylene torch to convince a very stuborn exhaust tip clamp nut to back out.

You'll love the Fabspeed and find yourself flooring it more to hear the sound LOL. I think my fuel economy dropped ever since I installed them.

Just another happy Fabspeed muffler-only customer chiming in. Way nicer than stock without being annoying. As mentioned above, get the stainless clamps.

Hi Drifter12:
I used my stock tips. There are almost no options around for a C4S as the tips are a little different (at least I only found 1 after a lot of searching). Should be several choices for a C2 version.

Hope you get a more expert reply from someone! I would think that any tips designed to replace the stock tips with a C2 should work with the Fabspeed, since Fabspeed works also with the stock tips . . .

I found a used pair of fab speed mufflers on this site. Installed them yesterday using my old clamps without any problems. Very nice deep throaty sound.

I've always had Fabspeed on my P-cars. I went with Agency through Vivid Racing for my 05 997. I will not they are better than Fabspeed but I'm very happy with the quality, sound and performance.

Hey, has anyone ever put some type of x-pipe on one of these cars? A friend of mine just put one on his 928 and gained some hp...I have heard of my neighbor (old school type of hot rods) speaking of these pipes.
