Porsche Boxster 986 with Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust 

The amount of enjoyment I get, when I drive this car now is ridiculous. It. Sounds. So. AWESOME!

Yes, I added spacers front (20 mm) and rear (15 mm). It was not the least expensive option (and not the most expensive), but the end result is exactly what I was looking for….so it was money well spent! 👌🏼 It makes driving the car that much more enjoyable.

@@cbsgarage2274 I installed 25 mm all the way around.Couldnt be happier

@@heinzr579 What are the advantages of 15, 20, or 25mm spaces?

@@mwong987 aperance… can slightly upset geometry though, particularly in the front.

I’m extremely pleased with the new exhaust. I debated between the more aggressive Fabspeed SuperCup, and the Fabspeed Maxflo. The Supercup is quite a bit more aggressive….and it sounds awesome, but I went with the Maxflo, to enhance the sound is really, but still be drivable on longer drives and weekend road trips. The Supercup is more “race car” loud. At lower rpm (under 3,000), the sound is good, but not crazy loud, and does not really have a noticeable drone in my opinion. When you rev engine over 3,000 rpm’s, is when it has the higher pitch, more aggressive note. I highly recommend this option if you want the car to sound as good as the Boxster looks….and sound like a true sports car!

I imagine you’d get a large percentage of the sound even with factory headers. I added the stainless headers, because the set I picked up was very reasonable. Thanks for subscribing! I picked up a ‘69 Triumph GT6+, and will be posting some videos on that, as well as more driving videos of the Boxster.

It overall sounds so much better!! The stock exhaust, even with the top down was very tame and quiet. I now hear the exhaust with top down, and get more induction noise as well…..the air intake on a 986 is right behind the driver’s door. Not sure if that’s because of the stainless headers, or exhaust? I also have a K&N performance filter on it. I am very pleased with the results…I think it’s the perfect balance of a more aggressive,sporty sound, without being obnoxiously loud like some after market exhaust.👌🏻

@@cbsgarage2274 thanks man for the answer! Also you should do like pov driving video, you’re the only one doing video with this kind of exhaust, have a great Christmas time my man!

Thanks! I have intentions of doing more videos, including POV driving. I got a rig to mount GoPro to a couple of different spots….so more to follow. Unfortunately, the weather turned before I got a chance to get the type of video I wanted, on some good roads. I’ll have more in the Spring for sure! I also purchased a ‘69 Triumph GT6+ in the fall, and want to do some video of that car as well. Happy Holidays to you as well!!

The Maxflo is the medium aggressive system from Fabspeed. When I started researching, I found clips of the Supercup exhaust by Fabspeed, and thought it was what I wanted. It sounded AWSOME, but I could tell it was very aggressive and loud, so I compromised, and got the Maxflo instead. I’m very pleased that I did, because it gets loud as you rev at 3,500 rpm and beyond, and also enhances the sound below that rev range. You can cruise top down, and not get overwhelmed with exhaust sounds. I highly suggest it if you want to increase the sporty sound of your flat 6, without sounding obnoxiously loud.

It’s a ‘99 base, so the 2.5 flat 6 engine

@cbsgarage2274 thanks a lot! Any more videos of the exhaust? And how long have you owned it? Has it been reliable?

I purchased with just over 55k miles in July of 2021. I now have about 67k miles on it, and the exhaust truly brought the car to life for me. It was fun before, but the added sound of the exhaust makes running trough the gears that much more enjoyable! I have done oil changes, a coolant flush, and changed the main belt as maintenance. I have fixed a driver side window regulator, and also the headlight switch in dash. I plan on keeping this one, so eventually a new convertible top, and new starter are next projects. 👍🏻

I also added a ‘03 996.2 Carrera today! 👌🏻 More videos to follow on that one as well…..

@@cbsgarage2274 awesome to hear! I have always been fond of these little cars. I want one for a track car that can be driven to and fro.
