Fabspeed Center Muffler Delete X-Pipe Kit for Porsche 991.1 Carrera (2012–2016)

Description

The Fabspeed Center Muffler Bypass X-Pipe eliminates the restrictive factory center muffler on 2012–2016 Porsche 991 Carrera (non-valved models) to unlock a more aggressive exhaust character, improved power delivery, and reduced weight. By replacing the stock center section with a lightweight, high-flow X-pipe, this upgrade increases exhaust evacuation, sharpens throttle response, and amplifies the natural flat-six sound — giving your 991 a more visceral presence without altering the side mufflers. Constructed from CNC mandrel-bent 304 L stainless steel, it’s designed for direct bolt-on installation and durable long-term use. This non-valved X-pipe is ideal for Carrera owners seeking a performance-oriented mid-section upgrade that complements street or track setups.
