Thumbs up Review after FABSPEED & BMC filter

Hi guys,

Just came back from ESPACE, Done up my fabspeed exhaust(without headers) and BMC filter.

Installation took around 3hrs and wat a great job andy have done,he realli took care to fit the exhaust and time to adjust the exhaust tip to align them. The BMC filter just took 15mins to fit up.

The first time when andy start up my CS, WOW !! i love the deep tone of the exhaust,realli transform the sound of my car.. now my CS sounds like a proper sports car...

Took the car out for a spin,Realli felt the difference straight away. The car pull so much stronger and the exhaust note is so addiciative,makes me wanna rev the car more often.The car pull so much smoother to the redline now.Sadly,i didnt do any dyno test before and after...just my butt feeling.

Would be ordering the Fabspeed Headers soon,was deeply impressed with the build quailty of their product and easy installation. However, i feel that they would improve on the quailty of their tips as they didnt look that nice as supersprint tips.

Next on line will be refleshing the CS's ECU with DMS program, will post a review after the reflesh.

Thanks to andy and Espace for a good job done! They are the place to go for local porsches !

Cheerz!

Any other mods being considered?

How about that GT3 plenum that is being discussed (with or without softtronic)? Seems like a cheap way to free up ponies (abt USD 50) :-)

Where's Espace? Is it the one along Ubi Road 1. Their website says that they specialize only in Japanese cars?

nothing, as i got the first generation and it's far from being loud. based on the judgement of my ears. that's why i decided to upgrade to capristo.

I like the Fabspeed catback but I want to use the OEM Tequipment tips. Do you know whether OEM tips fit?
