Porsche 911 header install, Fabspeed Supercup mufflers Porsche 996 

I will make a new video using two different cameras to see which one I think sounds like the actual car.

Did you feel any difference performance wise?

You can use the headers with the stock set up if you want. They will fit! I just bought the X pipe first to eliminate the cats. I live in FL so they don't smog check cars here. But if you put on an X pipe to eliminate the cats you could swap it back to get your car checked every year. It is easy to put on and take off fast.

Ya I think they make the car look so much better. I added 12mm spacers to theses rims and they make the car have a nice wide stance.

Ordered headers and free flow cats from Soul…,I like the C2II wheels on the 997 in gunmetal on the darker 997’s, but your right the 997 Turbo and lobster forks do look better on the 996

Thank you!

No I have not dune an ECU tune yet. I am debating on weather to do it or not. I would like to dine a dyno near me first and run it on this set up first.

I have been looking for a place close to me that I can do some pulls on a Dyno and possibly swap out parts to see the gains or loss. I agree some of these things may lower HP.

I’d say don’t get all crazy over the IMS bearing, my car has 75k miles on it now.

Good luck with your search, if you can add a little more money and find a 996 turbo that is even better. I knew the original owner of my car and it was spotless for the money, so I went for it.

@@surftribe2404 I think a 996 turbo will cost to much to keep up with maintenance. I want my first 911 to be Carrera 996 and I will see what happens.

I did not notice any power gain, but it did add a more hollow sound and made the exhaust a little louder. It may add more power that would show on a dyno but like I said I can’t feel any more power.

No in FL. they do not check for smog or sound levels. It is loud! But I like it.

Thanks! I try to keep it clean.

I clean it with Dawn dish soap to cut the grease and a brush then use a water base coating on the rubber hoses to make them look nice.

@@surftribe2404 thanks!

They are 245 35 19 front and 295 30 19 rear I also have 10mm wheel spacer on front and 12mm on the rear

Thank you! I will do more soon with the set of Fabspeed Maxflo mufflers.

Ya I agree!

Headers, X pipe, supercup muffles, tips, carbon fiber intake all total new is about $5,850.00 ya crazy I know! I probably paid all together $1000.00 searching for them used and I had to fix the intake. For the age of my car I wasn’t about to drop $6k on parts for it.

I have more videos I am working on!

You get what you pay for! You have a great sounding Porsche!

@@surftribe2404 - thats the quote i have from fabspeed on my 1999 996 - and i'm thinking the same way not speding too much - on a 1999 since i'm gonna sell it anyway, knowing i would not be able to get all the money i put in. - don't you agree?

​@@M40753 I agree if you are going to sell it. If I had bought this car new or only a year or two old I would buy the new stuff. But Fabspeed is well made and I was able to clean up the used parts I bought to look almost new.

I'm not 100% sure I bought them used, I was told they were Fabspeed but they don't look like it to me. They came with the Fabspeed Maxflow mufflers I have not put on the car yet to try. I have the supercup mufflers on the car in this video. To be honest they look like the ones sold on ebay! They are stainless steel for sure because I hade to polish them up before I put them on.

You don’t have to do a tune on the car after these mods for the car to run good but if you did it will give you a little more power. I did not do any tune to the car so far. If you want a better sound, then you can change the just the mufflers and it will open up the sound and a better flow of the exhaust. From what I hear from some Porsche mechanics is the stock headers are not to bad. It did sound even better when I put the headers on.

@@surftribe2404- thank you man for the info!! I will do more research !! but i know i will go ahead and get all like what you have on your car -- I have the K&N intake now -- but i change that i think to the fabspeed. Mahalos- bubba!!

@@M40753 Do you live in Hawaii?

@@surftribe2404 yes sir , Hawaii

@@M40753 I am in Hawaii every Dec. 8th -20th for the Pipe Masters. This may be the first time in 15 years I may not go du to Covid.

Wish the audio was better. I think it actually sounds better in person then in these videos. I have a RODE mic and it still not sounding accurate.

Yes and no. I have a daily driver so when I drive the 996 I drive it like it was built to be driven, RPS over 6k so no drone if I had to drive in traffic all the time at 35 mph and low rpm's then ya it is has some. On the highway after about 30 minutes at a steady 80 mph it is a little annoying to some but it doesn’t bother me.

Great job ! & sounds amazing ! Im about to change the headers on my 996 also, i just purchased RD headers, cant wait to put them in and see whats the result. Aloha - Bubba

Love the wheels. Wanted those but couldn't find them in my price range. Settled for the BBS Sport Classic IIs.

I’m not 100% sure I was told they were Fabspeed but they do not have the logo on them and they don’t look like the Fabspeed ones on online. I bought them used off a race 996 with the Fabspeed Supercup mufflers. They look more like ones from Racing Dynamics or IPE Headers

@@surftribe2404 Sweet, still awesome!!!

Thanks! It is loud!
