Fabspeed Performance X-Pipe Kit Featuring Sport Cats for Porsche 996 Carrera (1999–2004)

Description

The Fabspeed Sport Catalytic Converter X-Pipe for the Porsche 911 (996) Carrera / Carrera 4 (1999–2004) is a performance-focused mid-section exhaust upgrade that replaces the restrictive factory crossover section with a mandrel-bent stainless steel X-pipe featuring integrated high-flow sport catalysts. Designed to enhance exhaust gas scavenging while maintaining emissions-capable catalytic function, this X-pipe improves midrange torque, throttle response, and overall exhaust tone. Its balanced design helps reduce backpressure and encourages smoother pulse flow from both banks of the flat-six, resulting in a more engaging driving experience with more power where you feel it most — without sacrificing everyday usability.
