Fabspeed Race X-Pipe Exhaust for Porsche 997.2 GT3 & GT3 RS (2006–2012)

Description

The Fabspeed Competition Race X-Pipe delivers a no-compromise catback exhaust upgrade for 997-series GT3 and GT3 RS — shedding roughly 54 lbs off the rear end to improve handling and acceleration, while unleashing the flat-six’s full raw exhaust tone. Crafted from full 3″ mandrel-bent stainless tubing with a tuned center X crossover, this system replaces the bulky OEM mufflers and side cans, giving sharp throttle response, aggressive exhaust note, and track-ready performance. It’s ideal for drivers seeking maximum sound and performance with bolt-on installation.

Fitment Notes

• Compatible with Porsche 997.1 / 997.2 GT3 & GT3 RS — model years 2006–2011 worldwide.

• Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for factory cat-back exhaust (center muffler + side mufflers) — works with OEM catalytic converters. 

• May not be ideal for drivers needing low cabin volume — this is a high-decibel, straight-pipe–oriented exhaust suited for track use or aggressive street builds.

Included

• Full stainless-steel cat-back exhaust system (rear section) with 3″ (76 mm) tubing and tuned X-pipe. 

• Choice of tail-pipe finishes: 4″ Carbon Fiber, Brushed Stainless Steel or Titanium tips. 

• Optional 90-degree turn-down tips (track-use tip option) for alternate exhaust exit configuration. 

• All mounting hardware and flanges required for direct bolt-on install — no cutting or welding needed

Product Specs

• Material: Mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel, 3″ (76 mm) main tubing. 

• Weight Savings: ≈ 54 lbs (24 kg) removed vs. stock rear exhaust assembly. 

• Outlet Diameter: Tuned center X-pipe merging to 70 mm outlets, with 4″ (≈ 102 mm) tail-pipe tips.

Product Features

• Significant Weight Reduction & Improved Dynamics — Removing approx. 54 lbs from the rear helps reduce unsprung mass, improving handling, braking, and throttle response.

• Straight-Pipe, Race-Inspired Sound — Free-flowing X-pipe and full stainless design give the GT3 an aggressive exhaust note with deep tone and raw, unfiltered character — ideal for track or performance-focused builds.

• Bolt-On, No-Cut Installation — Designed to drop directly into place of factory components using OEM mounting points, simplifying installation and reducing shop time.

• High-Flow Design for Maximum Power & Flow — Large 3″ tubing and optimized X-pipe layout minimize back-pressure, allowing the flat-six to breathe and rev more freely under load.

• Customizable Exhaust Exit — Choice of carbon-fiber or brushed-stainless tips, plus optional 90° turn-down tips for track use or alternate exhaust aesthetic / sound profile.

• Durable, Track-Ready Construction — Built from premium materials (T304L stainless), TIG-welded, and engineered for repeated heat cycles and aggressive driving — making it a strong foundation for a performance-oriented GT3 build.
