Can I use the Fabspeed Pre-Muffler Pipe for 964 on the street?

No. Fabspeed sells this pipe strictly for closed-course events and off-road use, it is not CARB or EPA certified, and it is not to be driven on public roads. Owners who want a road-legal gain on a 964 should look at the muffler bypass pipes and the Maxflo system instead, which carry no such restriction.

How much power does it add?

Fabspeed's DynoJet testing shows 16 wheel horsepower and 14 lb-ft over the factory component, along with 9 pounds saved. The gains appear throughout the rev range rather than at a single peak, so the practical effect is sharper throttle response everywhere rather than a change only felt near the redline.

Will it throw a check engine light?

Yes. Fitting the pipe will set a check engine light, which is expected rather than a fault with the part. The pipe does include an integrated O2 sensor bung, so the factory fuel injection keeps reading the exhaust and adjusting mixture, idle and part throttle normally.

Does it make the car raspy?

No. The resonator is packed with stainless steel wool, which is what keeps the tone full and throaty rather than sharp and thin. Fabspeed describes the result as a gutsy sports car sound. The packing is stainless rather than fibre, so it will not burn out and turn harsh over the years.

How hard is it to install?

Straightforward by exhaust standards. Five pieces of hardware come out and the same five go back in, with no cutting and no welding required, so the job is within reach of a competent home mechanic with the car safely supported. It is fully reversible if the factory component needs to go back on.

Is it worth buying with the other 964 exhaust parts?

Often, yes. This pipe is one component of the Fabspeed Performance Package for the 964, which adds the Maxflo muffler, CUP airbox and BMC filter and is dyno tested as a combination. Buying the package is the cheaper route when the full combination is the plan.

Description

Fabspeed European Pre-Muffler Pipe for 964 Porsche 911 Carrera

Fabspeed’s Pre-Muffler Pipe for 964 Porsche 911 Carrera is a replica of the component Porsche fitted to cars built for markets outside the United States, and it is the piece that unlocks the front of the 964’s exhaust. In place of the heavy, restrictive factory unit sits a straight-through pipe with a stainless-packed resonator, so gas leaves the engine without being asked to turn corners on the way. Fabspeed records 16 wheel horsepower and 14 lb-ft on a DynoJet, gained across the rev range rather than at one peak, with 9 pounds saved. This is a competition component with the usage restrictions that go with one, and for an owner building a 964 for track work it is the first restriction worth clearing.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
