Fabspeed RACE Exhaust Performance Package WITH ECU Upgrade, Polished Stainless Steel Tips.
The Fabspeed Porsche 997 Carrera Performance Package is a comprehensive intake, exhaust and ECU upgrade developed for Porsche 997 Carrera models from 2005–2008.

Fits:

• Porsche 997 MK1 Carrera 2S 3.8L 2005-08
• Porsche 997 MK1 Carrera 4S 3.8L 2005-08  

Rather than upgrading one component in isolation, the package improves the complete airflow path through the naturally aspirated flat-six engine. It replaces restrictive factory intake and exhaust components with freer-flowing Fabspeed hardware.

Package Includes:

• Fabspeed Sport Headers
• Cat Bypass X-Pipe
• Maxflo Performance Mufflers
• Deluxe Quad-Style Exhaust Tips
• Carbon Fiber Competition Air Intake System
• Fabspeed ECU Tune with MyGenius handheld device

What This Product Does:
The Performance Package is designed to improve how efficiently air enters the engine and how quickly exhaust gases leave it.

The upgraded intake reduces restriction before the engine, while the headers, X-pipe and mufflers provide a freer-flowing exhaust path.

The ECU calibration then adjusts engine-management parameters to take advantage of the increased airflow.

The package is designed to:

• Increase horsepower
• Increase torque
• Improve throttle response
• Improve engine breathing
• Increase cold-air intake flow
• Reduce exhaust restriction
• Improve performance throughout the RPM range
• Produce a deeper and more aggressive exhaust note
• Increase induction sound
• Reduce overall component weight

For a mechanically healthy standard car, this package is primarily a performance, sound and response upgrade, rather than a maintenance replacement.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
The original exhaust components on a 2005–2008 Porsche 997 may deteriorate through age, heat cycling, corrosion and mileage.

Possible symptoms include:

• Exhaust blowing or ticking
• Hissing from leaking joints
• Black soot around exhaust connections
• Cracked welds
• Corroded pipes
• Loose heat shields
• Internal muffler rattling
• Catalyst rattling
• Reduced high-RPM performance
• Excessive exhaust heat
• Damaged exhaust brackets
• Poor exhaust-tip alignment
• Check Engine Light from catalyst-efficiency faults

A rattling or restricted catalyst may significantly affect engine performance even if the outer catalyst housing appears intact.

Why Replacement / Upgrading Matters:
If the original intake or exhaust components are worn or damaged, replacement can help restore:

• Correct exhaust sealing
• Reliable intake airflow
• Proper engine breathing
• Correct exhaust routing
• Secure mounting
• Consistent throttle response

A leaking exhaust or damaged catalyst can reduce performance and create excessive heat around surrounding components.

A cracked intake component can allow unmetered air into the engine, potentially causing poor running or fault codes.

However, where the factory components remain serviceable, the Fabspeed Performance Package is primarily an upgrade intended to increase airflow, performance, sound and driver response.
