Fabspeed Cat By-Pass Pipes. Porsche 997.2 Turbo / Turbo S 2010-12  ❭  FSPOR9972TCB

Fabspeed Cat By-Pass Pipes.
The Fabspeed Cat Bypass Pipes are high-performance straight-through exhaust pipes developed for the Porsche 997.2 Turbo and Turbo S from 2010–2012.

Fits:

Designed specifically for track and off-road applications, these pipes replace the restrictive factory catalytic converters with a freer-flowing exhaust path. Removing the catalyst section reduces exhaust restriction after the turbochargers, allowing exhaust gases to exit more freely while producing a significantly louder and more aggressive exhaust note.  

What This Product Does:

The factory exhaust system uses catalytic converters to treat exhaust gases before they leave the vehicle.

Although catalytic converters perform an important emissions-control function, they also create some resistance to exhaust flow.

The Fabspeed Cat Bypass Pipes remove this catalyst section entirely and replace it with straight-through stainless-steel tubing.

Their purpose is to provide:

• Increased exhaust flow
• Reduced exhaust restriction
• Improved throttle response
• Increased performance potential
• Reduced exhaust-system weight
• Increased exhaust volume
• More noticeable turbocharger spool
• More aggressive flat-six exhaust sound

These characteristics make the pipes primarily suited to track and competition vehicles where maximum exhaust flow is prioritised over road-going emissions compliance.

When Might Cat By-Pass Pipes Be Considered:
These pipes are not conventional replacement catalytic converters.

They are a track-focused performance modification intended to remove the catalytic-converter section completely.

They may be considered when:

• Building a closed-course track vehicle
• Maximum exhaust flow is desired
• A more aggressive exhaust note is wanted
• Increased turbo spool sound is desired
• Reduced exhaust-system weight is important
• The vehicle is being modified for competition use
• Other compatible performance upgrades are being installed

For a road-going vehicle, catalytic converters should not simply be removed as a replacement for failed components.

Why Replacement Matters:
A damaged or internally collapsed catalytic converter can restrict exhaust flow.

This can lead to:

• Reduced engine performance
• Poor throttle response
• Increased exhaust backpressure
• Excessive exhaust temperatures
• Engine-management faults
• Poor acceleration

On a road-going vehicle, the correct solution is normally to diagnose the cause and replace a failed catalytic converter with an appropriate emissions-compliant component.

For a dedicated track or off-road vehicle, Fabspeed Cat Bypass Pipes provide an alternative performance configuration that removes the catalysts and maximises exhaust flow.
