Fabspeed Porsche 992 Carrera Cat Bypass Race Pipes

The Fabspeed Porsche 992 Carrera Cat Bypass Race Competition Pipes (2020+) are a track-focused exhaust component designed for the Porsche 992 Carrera, Carrera S and Dakar with the 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine.

The system replaces the restrictive factory catalytic converters with free-flowing straight pipes, reducing exhaust restriction and maximizing exhaust flow for off-road racing and closed-course competition applications.

Fabspeed's dyno data lists a maximum gain of 25 hp, while the manufacturer currently lists torque as TBA. Actual performance results can vary depending on vehicle specification, supporting modifications and testing conditions.

The Race Competition Pipes use CNC-machined T304L stainless-steel billet inlet flanges hand TIG welded to 70 mm (2.75-inch) CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless-steel tubing. The large, smooth-flowing race cones are engineered to minimize restriction and support maximum exhaust flow.

Removing the factory catalytic converters also produces a significantly more aggressive and pronounced exhaust character. Fabspeed describes the system as its most aggressive race-style sound enhancement for the 992 Carrera, while retaining compatibility with both the factory Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE) and standard rear exhaust systems.

The pipes are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, with Fabspeed stating that installation can be completed in less than two hours. The system can also be removed and the vehicle returned to its original emissions configuration when required.

Because the product removes the OEM catalytic converters, Fabspeed explicitly specifies these Race Competition Pipes for off-road and closed-course racing use only. The manufacturer also warns that the system is not EPA or CARB certified and can trigger a Check Engine Light on OBD2-equipped vehicles.

For the Porsche 992 Carrera, these Fabspeed Race Competition Pipes are intended for drivers seeking maximum exhaust flow and a highly aggressive motorsport-oriented exhaust character in dedicated track and competition applications.
