    Fabspeed Exhaust & EVO headers

    Suncoast Motorsports in Sarasota installed the Fabspeed Exhaust & EVO headers on my 997TT. The car sounds so much better now, like it should stock.

    I noticed that the oil temp seems to get warmed up slightly quicker now, anyone else see this, or am I just "seeing" things?

    Very happy with this setup at this stage, later I'll do the GIAC flash.

    Re: Fabspeed Exhaust & EVO headers

    See Phil at Suncoast Motorsports, Fl. This is where I got the car and had the exhaust and headers done (mod friendly Porsche dealer and highly recommended). The Fabspeed is the Maxflo Motorsport exhaust and EVO F1 style headers.

    One of the drawbacks of the 997TT is the exhaust note and the "feel" of speed. I can say first hand that the exhaust mod makes all the difference in the world, the feel is there because you can hear it!!! Some of the "feel" of speed is hearing the exhaust growl. The car sounds so wicked, not overbearing loud, just plain wicked like a Porsche should sound, especially the Turbo. It now sounds like it should!! I don't think any mod could be more satisfying than the exhaust, even the GIAC ECU tune alone can't compensate for the lack of exhaust note. I get a smile everytime I start the car up. When cold and backing out of the garage with the note echoing off the walls with that gurgling growl....pure music!!

    Outlaw----I don't see any higher oil temps just seems to warm up quicker, did you notice this?

    I agree on every word you said, most important mod is an exhaust for the Turbo..

    No i didn't notice oil temp warming up quicker but what I noticed is that when the I start the car and the RPM is as the car is already warmed up, doesn't hang above 2000 for a while as it was before, this doesnt happend all the time, some times, so i dont know if this is from the exhaust or the temprature outside ?!

    Scott,

    Nice setup, I'm waiting for the warranty to run out (or I get more bold) before the GIAC flash. I really like the FS and Evo header setup, the sound is intoxicating...still!! Also the car seems to wake up the more miles you have (I'm at 5K), others have mentioned this and it's true. I think all the turbos are like this modded or not. The turbos seem to spool up faster with the FS exhaust, probably because of less back pressure. Keep me posted on your progress.

    You might consider that you can do the GIAC flashloader now which places both the stock and performance maps on the ECu. You then switch between the 2 via a dongle you connect to the OBD II plug. One button push and you are back to stock for the dealer visits. Should be invisible if you keep the stock redline.
