Fabspeed Exhaust

The Fabspeed Porsche 997 GT2 Performance Package is a comprehensive high-performance exhaust, intake and ECU tuning upgrade designed specifically for the Porsche 911 GT2 (997.1), manufactured between 2008 and 2009.

Fits:

• Porsche 997 MK1 GT2 2007-09

Kit Includes:

• Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust (Incl. Sport Cats & Tips)
• Sport Headers
• BMC F1 Air Filter
• XperTune Performance Software

Developed by Fabspeed Motorsport, this package combines several performance-oriented components engineered to improve exhaust gas flow, reduce intake restriction, enhance turbocharger response and deliver a more distinctive sports exhaust sound from the Porsche GT2's twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat-six engine.

The package includes the Fabspeed Supersport 70mm X-Pipe Exhaust System with 200-cell HJS Sport Catalytic Converters and Deluxe GT2 Style Exhaust Tips, together with Fabspeed Sport Headers and a BMC F1 High Performance Air Filter.

Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software with Handheld Tuner, allowing the engine management calibration to be optimised for the vehicle's configuration.

The Supersport X-Pipe exhaust system is designed to improve exhaust gas evacuation while producing a louder, sharper and more engaging exhaust note than the original factory system.

The Sport Headers are engineered to improve the movement of exhaust gases towards the turbochargers, helping support efficient exhaust flow and the engine's performance potential.

The BMC F1 High Performance Air Filter provides an upgraded air filtration solution designed to improve intake airflow while maintaining filtration functionality.

Fabspeed manufactures the stainless steel exhaust components from high-quality 14–16 gauge T304L stainless steel, using CNC mandrel-bent tubing to promote smooth exhaust flow and long-term durability.

The package's 200-cell HJS German sport catalytic converters are designed to provide lower exhaust restriction than conventional factory catalytic converter arrangements.

XperTune Performance Software allows applicable engine management parameters to be recalibrated, helping complement the performance characteristics of the upgraded intake and exhaust components.

The result is a coordinated performance package intended to enhance the Porsche 997 GT2's acceleration, exhaust sound, throttle response and overall driving character.

What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed Porsche 997 GT2 Performance Package upgrades several components involved in the movement of air into the engine and exhaust gases out of it.

By coordinating the intake filter, exhaust manifolds, sport catalytic converters and exhaust system, the package is designed to support more efficient engine breathing and stronger performance characteristics.

Its main functions and benefits include:

• Improved Exhaust Flow: Reduces restriction through the performance headers and Supersport exhaust arrangement.
• Enhanced Turbocharger Response: Supports improved exhaust gas flow conditions around the twin-turbocharged engine.
• Increased Performance Potential: Designed to support greater horsepower and torque in suitable configurations.
• Improved Intake Airflow: The BMC F1 air filter offers a performance-oriented replacement for the original filter.
• Reduced Exhaust Backpressure: High-flow exhaust components are intended to reduce unnecessary exhaust restriction.
• Sportier Exhaust Sound: Produces a stronger and more pronounced GT2 exhaust note.
• High-Flow Sport Catalysts: Uses 200-cell HJS sport catalytic converters.
• Improved Throttle Response: The coordinated hardware and optional ECU software are intended to sharpen engine response.
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Uses T304L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and thermal durability.
• Precision Exhaust Construction: CNC mandrel-bent tubing helps maintain consistent internal pipe geometry.
• Enhanced Rear Appearance: Deluxe GT2 Style Exhaust Tips complement the vehicle's styling.
• Optional ECU Optimisation: XperTune allows a performance calibration to be developed for the vehicle.
• Coordinated Performance Upgrade: Provides complementary intake and exhaust components in one package.
• Bolt-On Installation: The manufacturer describes the system as using direct replacement components without cutting or welding.

However, deterioration of the original exhaust and intake components can also lead owners to investigate replacement options.

• Original exhaust pipes, manifolds, flanges and associated hardware are exposed to repeated heating and cooling, moisture and road contamination.
• Over time, corrosion can weaken metal components and cause damage around joints or mounting points.
• Damaged gaskets, cracked manifolds or corroded exhaust connections can allow gases to escape before reaching the intended exhaust outlets.
• Symptoms may include blowing or ticking noises, visible soot deposits and unusual exhaust smells.
• The exhaust headers experience significant thermal cycling.
• Cracks or damaged welds can affect exhaust integrity and cause leakage.
• An ageing or damaged catalytic converter may develop an internal restriction.
• Significant exhaust restriction can affect engine performance and increase backpressure.
• A suspected catalytic converter fault should be diagnosed before replacing components.
• Internal catalytic converter deterioration can cause rattling or metallic noises.
• These sounds may become more noticeable during acceleration or as engine speed changes.
• Damaged mounting hardware, loose brackets or worn exhaust components can cause unwanted movement and vibration.
• A rattling exhaust may also contact nearby heat shields or bodywork.
• An exhaust restriction or intake fault may contribute to reduced engine output.
• However, power loss can also result from ignition faults, boost leaks, fuel delivery problems or turbocharger issues.
• A heavily contaminated engine air filter may reduce the amount of air entering the intake system.
• Replacing or correctly servicing the filter helps maintain proper airflow and engine protection.
• Cracked intake housings, damaged connections or deteriorated seals can affect filtration and airflow.
• Unmetered air or boost-related leaks may cause driveability problems depending on where the damage occurs.
• Slow or inconsistent boost delivery may indicate exhaust restriction, boost-control faults, intake leaks or worn turbocharger components.
• A performance package cannot repair defective turbochargers or pressure-control components.
• Hesitation may arise from ignition, fuelling, sensor or boost-control faults.
• These issues should be investigated before modifying the engine's performance.
• An illuminated warning light may indicate an emissions, fuelling, ignition or boost-related fault.
• Diagnostic trouble codes should be read and the cause resolved before performance ECU software is installed.
• Unexpectedly loud exhaust noise can indicate a leak or damaged component rather than normal sports exhaust behaviour.
• Thermal expansion, vibration and ageing can contribute to loosening or deterioration of exhaust fasteners.
• Damaged bolts, studs or nuts can affect sealing and component alignment.
• A vehicle fitted with aftermarket engine components may have an unsuitable ECU calibration or incompatible parts.
• Existing modifications should be inspected before adding further upgrades.
• Unusual heat, exhaust fumes or evidence of leakage around the engine compartment may indicate a problem requiring prompt attention.
