Removing the primary cats is what trips a cell.

Good grief. Some one needs to wake up and embrace the 21st century. I love it, have buddies with air cooled 911s and others with 4 bbl carbeurated C2 Corvettes and they have the same mentality. Have fun guys. Seriously get a life. LOL.

As long as you keep the downpipes stock or use ones that do not throw a CEL engine light, you won't have any issues.

This exhaust keeps stock downpipes, no CEL.

That's how much the other brands are charging too but you have to cut the exhaust atleast with this one it's plug and play anyone with a wrench can do it.

The exhaust is not expensive for a catback.
Since they use HJS cats, the downpipes are almost as much as the entire exhaust.

You can get the exhaust and keep the stock downpipes; no cutting is needed.

Or you can get the exhaust with the Fabspeed downpipes for the most sound.

In a way, this is a similar design to the active autowerke catback with their GESI cats downpipes

Unfortunately the only video they have of their X-Pipe / Mid-Pipe is poorly recorded so I can't take a chance going this route yet...

Tough supporting fabspeed knowing they created fake Google accounts and left negative reviews on SOUL's review page. They didn't even do a good job of it lmao, these accounts had genetic profile pictures (many of which were attractive females that purportedly bought GT3's!) and had only one other review under their belt - a 5 star review of fabspeed

That being said, it doesn't look like anything special.

I agree the video you say is not up to par. The other videos with clips of the cat back exhaust I think are really good and better than alot of the other companies tries. I also think it's a really good sounding exhaust.

That's to bad if this is true as I thought they were a pretty good company. Not good when companies resort to these tactics.

Yeah that's how I feel about this one and the r44 titanium exhaust.. I don't want to cut any piping either. So far I keep coming back to Remus but it could be the schmee video was just recorded really well. Although with Remus you don't get the same setup as that video and there's cutting involved.

I actually like this one. There's videos from their other exhaust without an upgraded DP.
https://www.fabspeed.com/fabspeed-bm...t-system-2021/

I don't plan on swapping the DP's and this sounds pretty good from the outside. Just looking for a clip of how the inside sounds like.

I prefer the exhaust better without the downpipes. You are replacing the stock midpipe (2 cats and a resonator) with a straight x-pipe and upgrading to a smaller axle back.

It's a significant sound upgrade as is; adding downpipes might be too much for daily drivers.
