Fabspeed or Porsche Exhaust... Help Please
Discussion
Im thinking of getting one of these exhausts fitted to my 996.
Because I do quite a few track days, I was wondering if anyone who has one has had the noise level checked and what Db output were they getting.
Would like the Fabspeed because it sounds better IMO but I dont want to be too loud for somewhere like Bedford autodrome.(101/102 db)
Help appreciated.

Peter..have a look at www.rennlist.com I don't know about the Carrera, but there is certainly a comprehensive test on 996TT exhausts in the turbo thread, complete with DB levels & this included Fabspeed.It would at least give you an idea.Best of luck.
I went through this lark when i had my 996..
The Porsche exhaust is probably the best way to go in terms of resale etc...
After market you can fit the exhaust ok,but there is a seperate wiring loom for the sports noise on / off switch.
I am led to beleive a sports exhaust can be fitted in 2 hours,apparently the switch wiring etc takes 10 hours!!...Work that one out at the labour rate used by your OPC.
I looked hard at fabspeed,,i got leads from Rennlist as Grant mentioned.
I was put off of the fabspeed as i got the impression that the quality was no where near that of the porsche item you are replacing,also there seem to be quite a few cases of resonance and boom at different rev levels.
I have seen a couple of used fabspeed for sale in the UK,on both occasions I missed them they were sold.However,when I asked the sellers what they thought,they were both selling as they didn't like/need the sound and occasional vibration.
I sold the car before i fitted an exhaust,but i would either go with Porsche sports without the wiring loom or a RUF.
I sold the car before i had the chance to fit a sports e
