Product Information
Fabspeed 2nd Link Comp Pipes.
The Fabspeed Porsche 986 Boxster Secondary Cat Bypass Pipes are a competition-focused exhaust upgrade designed to replace the heavy and restrictive factory secondary catalytic converters fitted to 2000–2004 Porsche 986 Boxster and Boxster S models.

Fits:
  • Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L 2000-02
  • Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L 2000-02
  • Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L 2003-04
  • Porsche Boxster S 986 3.2L 2003-04  

Manufactured from T304L stainless steel with CNC mandrel-bent tubing, the bypass pipes replace the original secondary catalysts with freer-flowing straight-through exhaust sections. This reduces exhaust restriction and weight while producing a more pronounced flat-six exhaust note and improved throttle response.

Fabspeed reports an increase of 8 wheel horsepower together with a substantial 25 lb (approximately 11.3 kg) weight reduction compared with the factory secondary catalytic converters. These are manufacturer-reported figures, and actual results can vary according to vehicle condition, specification and testing conditions.

These pipes are designed for use with the factory OEM-style muffler and install as a bolt-on replacement without cutting or welding.

What This Product Does:
The factory secondary catalytic converters form part of the Porsche 986 exhaust system and create a degree of restriction as exhaust gases pass through their internal catalyst substrates.

The Fabspeed Secondary Cat Bypass Pipes remove these secondary catalysts and replace them with straight-through exhaust tubing.

This creates a less restrictive path for exhaust gases travelling from the engine toward the rear muffler.

The upgrade is designed to provide:

  • Reduced exhaust restriction
  • Reduced backpressure
  • Improved exhaust flow
  • Improved throttle response
  • Increased horsepower potential
  • Reduced exhaust-system weight
  • More aggressive exhaust sound
  • Improved flat-six exhaust character

Removes The Factory Secondary Catalytic Converters:
  • The principal function of this product is to replace the original secondary catalytic converters.
  • Instead of forcing exhaust gases through the catalyst substrates, the bypass pipes provide a direct, straight-through path.
  • This makes the system less restrictive and substantially lighter than the original catalyst assemblies.
  • Because the secondary catalytic converters are removed completely, these pipes are intended for competition, closed-course and off-road applications rather than normal emissions-controlled road use.

Why Upgrading Matters:
The factory secondary catalytic converters do not need to have failed before installing this product.

These bypass pipes are primarily a performance, weight-saving and sound upgrade for competition-oriented vehicles.

Reasons for upgrading include:

  • Removes restrictive secondary catalytic converters
  • Straight-through exhaust path
  • Reduced exhaust backpressure
  • Improved exhaust flow
  • Manufacturer-reported +8 WHP
  • Improved throttle response
  • Approximately 25 lb weight reduction
  • Enhanced flat-six exhaust note
  • T304L stainless-steel construction
  • CNC mandrel-bent tubing
  • Bolt-on installation
  • No cutting or welding required
  • Designed specifically for 2000–2004 Porsche 986 models

NOTE: In the United Kingdom, sports catalytic converters and bypass pipes do not have type approval and are not legally permitted for use on vehicles manufactured after 1st March 2001. They are not MOT compliant and cannot be used on public roads. These components are intended solely for race and track use.

For vehicles manufactured before 1st March 2001, a non-type approved sports catalytic converter may be fitted, provided it offers comparable performance to the original and the vehicle continues to meet the applicable emissions standards for its age. The vehicle must still pass an MOT test.

If you are located outside the UK, please check your local laws and regulations to ensure compliance.

Standard Replacement Exhaust Catalytic Converter for Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L / 3.2L 400 Cell

PORSCHE BOXSTER 2.7L & 3.2L S Replacement Type Approved Petrol Cats made in grade 409 stainless steel. Recommend to change in a pair

Fits:
Porsche Boxster 986 2.7L / 3.2L

A catalytic converter is an emissions control device to stop harmful exhaust gasses from entering the atmosphere. In 1993, they became legality in the UK as part of the Euro Emissions standards. The aim of them is to improve air quality. As emissions standards have become more stringent the number of cats on a vehicle has increased. Many vehicles now have two or more to enable them to meet the Euro Emissions standards.

Our cat is made up of the following components:
• Ceramic monolith of a honeycomb design to allow free air flow and maximum surface area, coated with precious metals to enable the conversion of gasses that pass through it
• Interam matting to hold the monolith in place. The matting expands when exposed to heat to supply the pressure needed to keep the monolith secure
• A grade 409 stainless steel can (or housing) to provide protection and enable the cat to be built into the exhaust system. 409 grade can contain upto 90% iron and will be prone to rust. It still has higher rust-resistant properties than mild steel.

About Catalyst / Bypass

Exhaust Catalytic Converters & Bypass Pipes – Performance, Efficiency & Flow Control

The catalytic converter plays a crucial role in your Porsche’s exhaust system, reducing harmful emissions while maintaining optimal exhaust flow. Positioned between the exhaust manifold and silencer, it converts toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful emissions before they exit the tailpipe.

At Design911, we offer a complete range of catalytic converters and bypass pipes for Porsche vehicles. Our manufacturer-quality converters ensure reliable emission control and long-term performance, while our bypass options are designed for track or performance use, optimising exhaust flow for maximum power and throttle response.

Whether you’re maintaining your Porsche to meet emissions standards or upgrading for improved exhaust performance, our selection includes both direct-fit converters and performance bypass kits built from high-grade stainless steel for strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

What Do Catalytic Converters & Bypass Pipes Do?

A catalytic converter uses a fine mesh of precious metals to trigger chemical reactions that break down pollutants. The bypass alternative eliminates restriction in the exhaust flow, improving performance in non-emissions-controlled environments such as track driving.

Core Functions:

  • Converts toxic exhaust gases into environmentally friendly emissions.
  • Maintains exhaust back pressure for engine efficiency.
  • Reduces harmful NOx, CO, and HC emissions.
  • Supports smoother engine performance and throttle control.
  • Bypass versions enhance exhaust flow and improve power output for track cars.

Upgrading to a performance-grade system ensures your Porsche continues to meet emission requirements — or achieves greater flow and responsiveness for motorsport applications.

Why Do Catalytic Converters Fail?

Catalytic converters are exposed to extreme heat, unburnt fuel, and contaminants — all of which can degrade their performance over time.

Common Causes of Failure Include:

  • Carbon or oil buildup blocking the internal honeycomb.
  • Thermal damage from overheating or rich fuel mixtures.
  • Physical damage from road debris or misfiring engines.
  • Corrosion due to moisture and exhaust condensation.
  • Age-related wear reducing catalytic efficiency.

A failing converter can cause reduced engine power, poor fuel economy, rattling sounds, or a check-engine light. Replacing it restores emissions compliance, performance, and exhaust efficiency.

Why Replace or Upgrade with Precision-Engineered Components?

Replacing a failing converter or upgrading to a bypass pipe ensures your Porsche maintains peak performance and reliability.

Key Benefits:

  • Restores optimal emissions performance and efficiency.
  • Improves exhaust flow and throttle response.
  • Reduces engine stress and fuel consumption.
  • Durable stainless-steel construction for longevity.
  • Direct-fit compatibility for Porsche 911, Cayman, Boxster, Panamera, Macan and more.
  • Performance bypass options available for track and tuning applications.

Whether you want emissions compliance or maximum flow for competition use, our parts deliver reliability, precision, and performance.

Highlights:

  • Direct-fit catalytic converters and bypass pipes for Porsche models.
  • Precision-engineered for optimal flow and reduced emissions.
  • Built from heat-resistant stainless steel for durability.
  • Bypass pipes for performance tuning and track applications.
  • Restores power, efficiency, and exhaust sound balance.
  • Available for classic and modern Porsche vehicles.
