Porsche 997.1 Tubi Mufflers, FabSpeed X-Pipe and Tips installed by G Rides

This project happened in stages. Started with just the Tubi Mufflers, very good improvement in sound. Then FabSpeed X-Pipe was installed and really made the exhaust note of this Porsche aggressive but not obnoxious, a very nice sound without interior drone. Tips were added last.































Stock Tips






Have to use supplied shims




New Tips

Nice! Thanks for the pics. Now when I remove my rear bumper (which I will be doing soon for a new mod) I know where to put it so it does not get damaged....saw horses!!

How was the fitment with the FSpeed X-Pipe ?

Smart install with the 02 sensors---pulling them out first, connecting and then back into the connector boxes. Nice job.

To each their own, but I think that is an opinion that many have regurgitated on the internet without hearing it for themselves.

For reference, my favorite exhaust sounds are late-model ferraris, porsche carrera GT and GT3. Having said that, I love the way the tubis sound in combo with the sport cat x-pipe. Not saying it sounds like a ferrari, but it does sound very good.

When I first had the tubi mufflers put on, I loved the tone/sound, but wanted more of it. So I put on the fabspeed sport cat x-pipe. Basically, it tripled the tubi sound and give it a little more raw edge to it.

Its definitely louder, but not "**** your neighbors off" loud. Unless I redlined the car while driving down my street. Then they would def hear it.
