You guys are going to love the race exhaust system, I put it on my 06 CS and love it more and more each day. Wait until you get in a parking garage. Can you say smile from ear to ear?

:dance: Woo Hoo! Just heard from JB at Fabspeed. My exhaust and jack point are on the way. I know what I am doing next week! Pics to follow after installation. Although, I am worried about the upcoming DE at Atlanta Motorsport's Park in July. They have a noise limit of 98 db. Why would you build a new race track that has noise restrictions? It's a freaking racetrack!!! Anyone run there yet? Are they enforcing the noise restrictions?

I can see that Joey mentioned that these exhausts are "Safe for emissions". I was just wondering if anyone has first hand experience of going through an emissions test with these exhaust. I assume the Maxflo would not be a problem but wondered about the race.
 
#92 ·
Someone can probably confirm this, but from my understanding the catback systems only eliminate the "secondary cats," which help reduce cold start emissions when the OEM primary cats haven't warmed up.

If you're worried, you can make sure your car is warmed up before a smog check.

Not so sure about the aftermarket Fabspeed exhaust headers, which come with aftermarket primary cats.

Just installed the Race exhaust today and all I can say is that it is very loud in a cup car way. i love it. Your driving style has to adapt a bit to compromise the drone of this exhaust. I went the good old noob way and torqued of the bolts on the headers... thanks to a local shop all is good now. If you drive your car as a daily driver I would go for the more conservative version. It is up the same alley as my M6 with RPI Race exhaust. All in all a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, insane sound and quality!

Yea thats what i want!!
My car was a daily driver until 6mos ago, but it is my
Weekend stress reliever now.
I love my current exhaust but want something that can sound more exotic now.
I really would love to hear it in person, before i buy..
Had bought and installed my borla new only six mos ago with a good amt of money invested already, so i want to make sure . Haha
 
#104 ·
Can anyone comment on how the Borla exhaust compares to the two Fabspeed exhausts. To my ears from listening to video only, it seems the Borla is louder than the Maxflo and obviously quiter than the race? I guess my question is is the Borla more aggressive compared to the Maxflo? Thanks
 
#112 ·
I too would be very interested to hear people's anecdotes regarding the Maxflo catback compared to other similar exhausts--volume, tone and details of sound, etc.

I know the Race catback is far too loud for a 2.7 Cayman like mine, so I am only considering the Maxflo.

I want to thank all of the Planet-9 members who have taken part in the Fabspeed Group Buy! Many systems have been shipped and there are still more being built to fulfill orders. If there are any messages that I have not answered, please either email ( joey@fabspeed.com ) or shoot me a P.M. I will answer the most recent posts starting from today:




Thank you Preetham I have all of your information noted.

Joey,

Think I am in but need some representative DB levels. Key track in AZ is AMP and there is a DB level limit. I will have to get re-tested if I switch exhausts.
The Race Exhaust will exceed this limit. The Maxflo Muffler is about 96 db's from 20 feet away. Depending on how/where they sound test both solutions may not work with the DB limit. We have a 987.2 Boxster S coming in on Thursday for an ECU upgrade, but the vehicle is already equipped with the Mufflers and the technician just purchased a new DB reader. I will update with the results on Thursday.

Ag_Boxster I have your billing/shipping information along with phone number. Just need the credit card details for the Maxflo Muffler with 200 cell Sportcats.

Joey, are the long tube race headers available in this GB? Or just the race exhaust?
The Group Buy is just for the cat-back exhaust components. I will PM the Planet-9 price for the Long-Tube Race Headers.

Joey, How much to ship a Race exhaust to 92562? Is it difficult to install for an average mechanically inclined person? If not, what can I expect to pay for installation?
FedEx Ground service to Murrieta will cost $30 and take 2 business days. Installation will take roughly 2-3 hours and this is a direct replacement with no cutting or welding. Average mechanic will be able to install with no problems, but having a helper will shave much time off the install.

I hate to say this, but today is the final day for the exhaust Group Buy. Place your orders before the end of the day to take advantage of this discount! I want to thank all of the Planet-9 members who took part in this GB and especially thank Ken Smiley for his dedication and courtesy. Just to recap: all orders that were placed before May 16th have shipped. If you placed your order after this date, we will need at least 3-4 weeks to finalize the build as the fabrication department is again working overtime. If you have any questions, or I did not answer your question, please PM or email ( Joey@fabspeed.com ).



Firefish shipping the Race Exhaust via FedEx Ground to SoCal will cost $35.

Id also like to know the price on the headers. I already have a Remus exhaust.
UDPride I will send a PM for the headers.

If you haven't got your FS race exhaust yet... you don't know what your missing!

Just got mine installed and its just evil.

Thanks Joey :thanks:
Paul thank you for the compliments.

I am interested in the Maxflo Muffler system for my 2006 2.7 Boxster. I am concerned about the level of sound. I would like more than stock but don't want it so loud that my wife will not want to be in the car on long trips. Don't want to go back to the CRV for the long trips.
Howard the Maxflo Muffler is a perfect system for the daily driver as the interior sound is less aggressive than the Race Exhaust. That being said if you "lug" the engine at 65-70MPH in a tall gear you will still get a bit of drone inside the cabin.
