Previously Owned Exhaust

[Clifton Turbo]

Thinking of buying used Fabspeed cats & mufflers for my 2001 TT.

Any negatives or items I should be looking for before committing to purchase?

Would appreciate any advice including recommendations for alternative set-ups.

Thanks,

Charles.

I did a ton of research on exhaust systems for my 03 turbo. I found that Fabspeed was consistantly rated the best exhaust system for the money. If you haven't already, you should ck out their website to see and hear all their clips on the turbos.

Thanks for the feedback. I drew the same conclusion.

I was watching a used Fabspeed exhaust/cats on eBay that ultimately sold for $1600 and change. I decided to pay the difference and buy new. Now just need to decide to go with quiet or loud version. Decisions decisions!

LOUD!!!!! :)

I haven't heard either, but that would be my preference anyway.

If you get this, I would be EXTREMELY appreciative if you posted a quality video link w/ sound or a quality sound file to hear the Turbo at WOT or idle or both w/ the new exhaust. It's hard to find good quality sounds of it.

Dock has Europipe loud and swears by it. I'll get ot hear it when I get out to Atlanta this weekend.

Many have said that Fabspeed is too loud.

I have a set of loud Fabspeeds with tips I am selling. I think the droning noise at 2400-2800 is pretty bad.

I take it that you mean "resonance". I had some resonance in the 2700 - 3000 rpm range on my 996 C Fabspeed mufflers. Just bought a 996 TT and would possibly consider upgrading the exhaust later on. Europipe (www.europipe.be) close to my place here in Belgium seems to offer very nice gear for TT's as well.

I'd listen to someone's setup first before you commit so you know what it sounds like. At a min, listen to the sound clip and compare that w stock or PSE.
