981 Product Innovation: Metal Cast X-Pipes

Innovation is a key part of our success.

We recently updated several of our Boxster/Cayman products, including our 981 Boxster/Cayman Maxflo Performance Exhaust System, replacing independent dual outlets with a cast X-Pipe.

A lot has changed since 2005, when Fabspeed first designed and fabricated an exhaust system for the 987. We have been advancing rapidly as a company and so has the technology available to us. We are excited to have more metal casting capabilities than ever before, allowing us to feature full cast x-pipe sections on a wider range of products. The X-Pipe configuration creates a scavenging effect, which pulls exhaust through faster, substantially increasing air flow throughout the entire system and creating a more exotic exhaust tone. This new setup is even better than our previous one, and absolutely blows Porsche’s OEM t-outlet muffler out of the water.

This system adds +38 WHP and +30 ft/lbs. of TQ in the middle of the rev range, as you can see in the Dyno Chart below. On top of these great performance gains, the system adds a fantastic, exotic exhaust note and saves 9 lbs. off the rear of the vehicle.

How is the drone? I have your catless headers and Cobb tune on my Cayman S (installed a year or so back when John Gaydos was the rep after I met him at NJMP). A touch more HP can't hurt, but a more exotic sound would be nice so long as it wouldn't be annoying in-car and out. I currently just have the stock Porsche exhaust (not PSE) for comparison.

Thanks for the update Phillip, with a 38HP increase you would not have been able to keep them in stock! ;)

+13HP for this upgrade sounds much more realistic...
