A Quick Look at Fabspeed
Fabspeed information on this page is based on details supplied by the manufacturer or distributor, plus any OE references provided with the parts.
Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche
Where Fabspeed is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.
- Typical reasons people replace these parts include upgrading tired or corroded factory exhaust components, tailoring sound and response for fast-road or track use, and supporting wider tuning packages.
- Common symptoms that lead owners to inspect or change related parts include exhaust leaks, rattles, drone, heat-related fatigue, and loss of performance that may also be linked to boost or vacuum issues.
- After installation, it is sensible to refresh mounts and hardware where worn, and to carry out a careful check for leaks once everything has heat-cycled.
- Consider whether supporting ECU mapping or health checks are appropriate for your Porsche, depending on how extensive your hardware changes are.
Browse by Category
If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.
Engine Tuning — Engine tuning parts and upgrades for Porsche are used to improve drivability, throttle response and power, or to support changes such as intake, exhaust, or forced induction. They are typically chosen once the engine is in good health, as tuning cannot compensate for underlying mechanical faults.
- Before any significant tuning work, check overall engine condition, including compression or leak-down where appropriate, fuel system health, sensor data, and that there are no boost or vacuum leaks.
- Avoid using calibration changes to hide rough running or misfires, as the mechanical root cause still needs to be addressed.
Air Filters — Air filters for Porsche protect the engine from dirt while maintaining the airflow that correct fuelling and performance depend on. Owners often replace or upgrade filters to restore airflow, support tuning work, or improve serviceability while keeping good filtration.
- Service intervals depend on use: dusty environments or frequent track days may justify more frequent inspection and cleaning or replacement.
- If using oiled performance filters, follow the manufacturer’s oiling instructions carefully to avoid contaminating sensitive airflow sensors.
Air Induction Kits — Induction kits for Porsche replace or re-route parts of the intake system to change airflow, response and sound. They are usually part of a wider tuning package and are selected to balance intake temperatures, flow and sensor stability.
- When fitting an induction kit, ensure joints and connections are well sealed to prevent unmetered air entering the engine or causing drivability issues.
- Positioning and heat management are important: shielding from hot engine-bay air helps keep intake temperatures, and therefore performance, more consistent.
Exhausts — Exhaust upgrades for Porsche are commonly chosen to replace corroded or leaking factory systems, refine the car’s sound, reduce weight or improve gas flow as part of a tuning package. The right choice depends on how the car is used and the balance you want between sound, comfort and responsiveness.
- When planning an exhaust change, consider the complete system, including catalytic converters, to keep within your local emissions and noise requirements.
- Replacing aged gaskets, clamps, mounts and rusted fixings at the same time as the exhaust usually improves fitment and reduces the chance of future leaks or rattles.
All Silencers / Mufflers — This category covers a range of Porsche silencer and muffler layouts, from standard-style replacements to sport and valved options. Selection is usually guided by corrosion or damage to existing parts, unwanted noise or drone, or a desire to change the exhaust character while staying within comfort and usage needs.
- To narrow down the correct layout, compare inlet and outlet positions, hanger locations and pipe diameters on your current system against the product details.
- When choosing between standard, sport or switchable systems, think about typical journeys and cabin noise tolerance so you end up with a sound level that suits day-to-day use.

Fits:
- Porsche 964 (911) C2 1989-94
- Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989-94
Inspired by the exhaust arrangement used on Porsche 964 Carrera Cup competition cars, the bypass pipe reduces exhaust restriction, removes substantial weight from the rear of the vehicle and produces a stronger, more aggressive air-cooled flat-six exhaust note.
Unlike a catalytic-converter bypass pipe, this component is installed after the catalytic converter and does not remove the vehicle's catalyst.
What This Product Does:
The standard Porsche 964 exhaust system uses a primary centre muffler to reduce exhaust noise before gases continue towards the secondary rear muffler.
While effective for noise reduction and refinement, the factory primary muffler adds weight and creates additional restriction in the exhaust path.
The Fabspeed Primary Muffler Bypass Pipe replaces this silencer with a freer-flowing straight pipe.
This is designed to:
- Reduce exhaust restriction
- Improve exhaust-gas flow
- Improve throttle response
- Support increased horsepower
- Reduce rear vehicle weight
- Increase exhaust volume
- Enhance the air-cooled flat-six sound
- Create a Carrera Cup-inspired exhaust configuration
Carrera Cup Style Design:
- The bypass pipe is designed as a replica of the type of primary muffler bypass arrangement used in the Porsche Motorsport 964 Carrera Cup racing programme.
- Rather than forcing exhaust gases through the internal chambers of a conventional silencer, the straight-pipe configuration provides a more direct exhaust route.
- This creates a more performance-oriented exhaust system while retaining the vehicle's catalytic converter and secondary rear muffler when used in the standard configuration.
Performance Benefits:
Fabspeed reports approximately:
Crank Horsepower: +12 HP
Wheel Horsepower: +10 WHP
Weight Reduction: Approx. 25 lb

Designed to maintain catalytic emissions treatment while providing a freer-flowing exhaust path, the system combines a modern high-flow catalyst with CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless-steel construction.
Compared with simply removing the catalytic converter, this system provides a performance-oriented solution that retains a functioning catalyst while improving exhaust flow and enhancing the characteristic air-cooled Porsche flat-six exhaust note.
What This Product Does:
A catalytic converter forms part of the vehicle's exhaust and emissions-control system.
Exhaust gases produced during combustion contain pollutants that need to be converted into less harmful compounds before leaving the exhaust.
The catalytic converter performs this emissions-treatment process while allowing exhaust gases to continue towards the rear silencer.
The Fabspeed Sport High-Flow Catalytic Converter performs this fundamental function while using a less restrictive performance-oriented design.
It is designed to provide:
- Catalytic emissions treatment
- Improved exhaust-gas flow
- Reduced exhaust restriction
- Improved engine breathing
- Increased horsepower potential
- Increased torque potential
- Improved throttle response
- Reduced exhaust-system weight
- Enhanced air-cooled flat-six sound
High-Flow Catalyst Design:
- The internal catalyst structure provides a large surface area for the chemical reactions required to process exhaust pollutants.
- A performance catalyst is engineered to achieve this while reducing the restriction placed on exhaust gases.
- This is particularly useful on a performance vehicle, where excessive exhaust backpressure can restrict engine breathing as airflow requirements increase.
- The Fabspeed system therefore provides an alternative to both a restrictive ageing factory catalyst and a catalyst-delete pipe.
Performance Benefits:
Fabspeed reports dyno-tested gains of:
Crank Horsepower: +28 HP
Wheel Horsepower: +24 WHP
Torque: +16 ft-lb
Weight Reduction: Approx. 9 lb
Fabspeed states that the power improvement occurs throughout the RPM range rather than being concentrated solely at maximum engine speed.
These are manufacturer-reported figures from a specific test vehicle and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results for every Porsche 964.
Actual performance can vary according to:
- Engine condition
- Existing exhaust system
- Intake modifications
- ECU calibration
- Fuel quality
- Ambient conditions
- Vehicle specification
- Testing equipment and procedure
Why Upgrading Matters:
The Fabspeed Sport High-Flow Catalytic Converter can also be installed as a performance upgrade even when the original catalyst remains functional.
Potential benefits include:
- Reduced exhaust restriction
- Improved exhaust flow
- Increased horsepower potential
- Increased torque potential
- Improved throttle response

Designed for vehicles fitted with a GT3-style rear bumper featuring a centre exhaust opening, the conversion uses extended exhaust outlets to redirect the tailpipes from the Carrera's conventional exhaust location towards the centre of the rear bumper.
The system retains the original side-mounted muffler layout while changing the location of the visible exhaust outlets, providing a motorsport-inspired appearance without requiring the exhaust mufflers themselves to be relocated.
Manufactured from 14–16 gauge T304 stainless steel, the conversion tips are designed for straightforward bolt-on installation without cutting or welding.
What This Product Does:
- The Fabspeed conversion tips change the location at which the Carrera's exhaust outlets appear at the rear of the vehicle.
- A standard Carrera uses exhaust outlets positioned towards the outer sections of the rear bumper.
- When a GT3-style bumper with a centre exhaust opening is installed, the standard exhaust outlet position no longer corresponds with the bumper design.
- The Fabspeed conversion system solves this by extending the exhaust outlets towards the centre of the vehicle.
- This allows the exhaust gases to exit through the central opening in the GT3-style rear bumper while retaining the side-mounted muffler arrangement.
GT3-Inspired Centre Exhaust Apperance:
The main purpose of this product is to provide the distinctive centre-exit exhaust configuration associated with Porsche's motorsport-inspired GT3 models.

Designed for Porsche Boxster and Cayman models from 1997–2024>>, the jack point mounts towards the rear of the vehicle and allows the car to be lifted from the strong transmission-area mounting location. This is particularly useful for servicing, wheel changes and track-day preparation where quick access to both rear wheels is desirable.
Manufactured from high-strength billet aluminium with a distinctive red anodised finish, the Fabspeed jack point uses a simple bolt-on installation and reuses factory Porsche hardware.
What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed Rear Jack Point provides a dedicated location from which the rear of the Porsche can be raised using an appropriate floor jack.
Its purpose is to make rear lifting more straightforward by providing an accessible and repeatable contact point.
Once installed, it can be particularly useful when carrying out:
- Rear wheel removal
- Wheel and tyre changes
- Brake servicing
- Suspension inspection
- Track-day preparation
- Underbody inspection
- Routine workshop maintenance
- Cleaning and detailing around the wheel arches
For owners who frequently work on their vehicle, having a permanently installed lifting point can make maintenance considerably more convenient.
Allows Access To Both Rear Wheels:
One of the key benefits of the Fabspeed Rear Jack Point is the ability to raise the rear of the vehicle from a central rear lifting location.
This can allow both rear wheels to be raised for removal, which is particularly useful during track events or workshop servicing.
This can make tasks such as changing wheels, inspecting tyres or servicing rear brakes faster and more convenient than lifting one corner at a time.
Why Install A Dedicated Rear Jack Point:
The Fabspeed Rear Jack Point is primarily a workshop and track-day convenience upgrade, rather than a replacement for a component that normally wears out.
Owners may install it to provide:
- A permanent rear lifting location
- Easier floor-jack positioning
- Faster wheel changes
- Convenient access during track events
- Easier brake servicing
- Easier suspension inspection
- More convenient workshop maintenance
- A repeatable lifting location
This can be particularly valuable for vehicles that regularly undergo tyre, wheel, brake or suspension work.

The Fabspeed Porsche 981 Boxster/Cayman Rear Tie Downs are heavy-duty vehicle securing points designed for 2013–2016 Porsche 981 Boxster and Cayman models.
Fits:
- Porsche Boxster 981 2.7L 2013-16
- Porsche Boxster 981 S / GTS 3.4L 2013-16
- Porsche Cayman 2.7L 981 2013-16
- Porsche Cayman S / GTS 3.4L 981 2013-16
Designed for Porsche owners who regularly transport their vehicle on a trailer or transporter, these rear tie-downs provide dedicated attachment points for suitable vehicle securing straps. They are particularly useful for track-day, motorsport and enthusiast vehicles where convenient and repeatable securing points are required.
Precision engineered from high-strength Domex steel, the tie-downs feature a durable red powder-coated finish and use a straightforward bolt-on installation.
What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed rear tie-downs provide dedicated attachment points at the rear of the Porsche 981 for securing the vehicle during transportation.
When a car is transported on a suitable trailer or vehicle transporter, correctly rated straps must be attached to appropriate securing points to prevent unwanted vehicle movement.
These tie-downs provide convenient rear mounting points for this purpose.
They are particularly useful for:
- Track-day vehicle transportation
- Motorsport use
- Race-car trailering
- Long-distance vehicle transport
- Workshop transportation
- Daily-driven vehicles requiring occasional transport
- Owners who regularly trailer their Porsche
- Vehicles requiring easily accessible securing points
Why Dedicated Tie Downs Matter:
Using dedicated tie-down points makes securing the vehicle more straightforward and repeatable.
Without appropriate attachment points, straps may be incorrectly routed around suspension, chassis or other components that were not intended to be used in that manner.
Dedicated rear tie-downs provide a defined attachment location for suitable transport equipment, helping simplify the loading and securing process.
Correct vehicle restraint remains dependent on the complete transport system, including the trailer, straps, anchor points and loading method.
Why Install Rear Tie Downs:
These components are primarily a vehicle transportation accessory, rather than a routine replacement part.
Owners may install them to provide:
- Convenient rear securing points
- Easier trailer preparation
- Repeatable strap attachment locations
- Improved access when securing the vehicle
- A dedicated solution for track-day transportation
- A permanent transport accessory for frequently trailered cars
When combined with suitable front tie-down points and correctly rated transport equipment, they can make securing a Porsche 981 for transportation considerably more straightforward.

The Fabspeed Porsche 991 Carrera Deluxe Quad-Style Tips are a premium exhaust styling upgrade designed for 2012–2016 Porsche 991 Carrera NON-S models without Porsche Sport Exhaust (NON-PSE).
Fits:
- Porsche 991.1 Carrera C2 3.4L (350 Bhp) 2012-16
- Porsche 991.1 Carrera C4 3.4L (350 Bhp) 2012-16
Designed to replace the standard factory exhaust tips, these quad-style outlets give the rear of the Porsche 991 Carrera a wider, more aggressive appearance while retaining compatibility with the factory OEM mufflers.
Manufactured from high-quality T304 stainless steel, each outlet measures 3.5 inches / 90 mm in diameter.
Unlike a complete exhaust system, these tips primarily provide a visual exhaust upgrade. They do not replace the mufflers or catalytic converters and should not be treated as a significant engine-performance modification.
What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed Deluxe Quad-Style Tips replace the standard exhaust outlets at the rear of the Porsche 991 Carrera.
Their primary function is to provide a larger and more distinctive exhaust outlet design.
The quad-tip arrangement creates the appearance of four exhaust outlets across the rear of the vehicle, giving the Carrera a more purposeful performance-inspired look.
They provide:
- More aggressive rear styling
- Quad-outlet exhaust appearance
- Larger 90 mm outlets
- A premium stainless-steel finish
- Improved visual integration with the rear bumper
- A straightforward alternative to the standard factory tips
- Compatibility with factory NON-PSE mufflers

Exhaust Styling Upgrade:
Exhaust tips are one of the most visible components of the exhaust system.
Because they sit directly beneath the rear bumper, changing their size, shape and finish can substantially alter the appearance of the vehicle without replacing the complete exhaust system.
The Fabspeed quad-style arrangement gives the 991 Carrera a broader and more performance-oriented appearance while maintaining a design appropriate for the shape of the factory rear bumper.
Why Upgrading Matters:
These Fabspeed tips are primarily an appearance upgrade rather than a conventional wear replacement or major performance component.
Owners may choose them even when the original tips remain serviceable.
Reasons for upgrading include:
- More aggressive quad-tip styling
- Larger 90 mm exhaust outlets
- Premium T304 stainless-steel construction
- Improved rear-end appearance
- Compatibility with OEM mufflers
- Compatibility with Fabspeed exhaust systems
- Straightforward bolt-on installation
This makes them suitable for owners who want to change the appearance of their Porsche without replacing the complete rear exhaust system.

The Fabspeed Porsche 981 Boxster/Cayman Front Tie Downs are heavy-duty vehicle securing points designed specifically for Porsche 981 Boxster and Cayman models from 2013–2016.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Minor modification to vehicle under-tray is required!
Fits:
Designed for owners who transport their Porsche on a trailer or vehicle transporter, these tie-downs provide dedicated front attachment points for securing the car with suitable transport straps. They mount at the forward area of the front suspension and allow tow straps to be attached without wrapping them around or contacting the front wheels.
Manufactured from 3/16-inch high-strength structural steel, the tie-downs feature a highly visible red powder-coated finish for durability and easy identification underneath the vehicle.
What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed front tie-downs provide dedicated attachment points for securing a Porsche 981 during transportation.
When loading a performance car onto a trailer, suitable tie-down straps must be attached to secure locations capable of handling the loads generated during transport.
These tie-downs provide accessible mounting points for the front of the vehicle, helping avoid the need to route straps around the wheels.
They are particularly useful for:
- Track-day vehicle transportation
- Race-car trailering
- Long-distance vehicle transport
- Car transporter use
- Workshop transportation
- Owners who regularly trailer their Porsche
- Vehicles where convenient, repeatable tie-down points are desirable
Why Dedicated Tie Down Points Matter:
Using a dedicated tie-down point makes the process of securing the vehicle more straightforward and repeatable.
Fabspeed specifically designed these front mounts so that tow straps can be installed without contacting the front wheels.
This is important because incorrectly positioned straps can interfere with:
- Wheels
- Tyres
- Suspension components
- Brake components
- Bodywork
- Underbody components
Dedicated attachment points provide a more accessible location for connecting suitable transport straps.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Tie-downs are not conventional wear components and do not require replacement at a fixed service interval.
However, because they can be subjected to significant loads during vehicle transportation, they should be inspected regularly.
Signs that inspection or replacement may be required include:
- Visible bending
- Distortion
- Cracks
- Elongated attachment openings
- Damaged mounting points
- Loose mounting hardware
- Missing mounting hardware
- Severe corrosion
- Deep surface damage
- Significant impact damage
- Damaged or heavily worn strap-contact areas
- Movement at the mounting point
- Damage following an incorrectly secured transport event
- Damage following excessive loading
Any tie-down that has become visibly distorted or structurally damaged should not continue to be relied upon for securing the vehicle.
Why Replacement Matters:
A tie-down is only useful if it remains structurally secure.
Replacing a confirmed bent, cracked, severely corroded or otherwise damaged tie-down helps:
- Maintain a dependable vehicle securing point
- Provide secure attachment for suitable transport straps
- Maintain correct tie-down geometry
- Reduce the risk of attachment-point failure
- Avoid relying on damaged hardware during transportation
- Maintain convenient access when loading the vehicle
- Protect the vehicle during trailer transportation
A visibly damaged tie-down should not be treated as merely cosmetic because it may be subjected to substantial forces while the vehicle is being transported.
