Fabspeed Catted Sport X-Pipe for 993 Porsche 911 Carrera / 4 / 4S / RS / S
The Fabspeed Catted Sport X-Pipe replaces the factory mid-pipe on the 993 Porsche 911 Carrera with an investment-cast X-pipe fitted with 200-cell HJS German-made sport catalytic converters. The free-flowing cats and X-pipe design increase exhaust volume while smoothing out the exhaust note of the flat six, giving the car a higher-pitched, sports-car sound without resonance or drone.
Power
Dyno-tested gains of 20hp and 24ft-lbs of torque at the crank, translating to 16whp and 19ft-lbs of torque at the wheels
Features
Includes 200-cell HJS German-imported OBD2 sport catalytic converters
Saves 8lbs from the rear of the vehicle, reducing rear-end inertia
Constructed from CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel
Simple bolt-on installation, no cutting or welding required
Includes all required hardware and gaskets
Fabspeed’s improved design does not require reusing the factory metal exhaust donut
Backed by the Fabspeed lifetime warranty

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this X-pipe include catalytic converters?
Yes. The Catted Sport X-Pipe uses 200-cell HJS German-imported OBD2 sport catalytic converters rather than a straight pipe. This makes it a different product from Fabspeed’s cat-delete Competition Link X-Pipe, which is intended strictly for closed-course and off-road use.
How much power does this X-pipe add?
On an in-house dynojet, the Catted Sport X-Pipe added 20hp and 24ft-lbs of torque at the crank, which translates to roughly 16whp and 19ft-lbs of torque at the wheels, along with an 8lb weight reduction from the rear of the car.
How do I know whether I need Bischoff or Gillet flanges?
Vehicles built from 1994 through mid-1996 require Bischoff style flanges, while vehicles built from mid-1996 through 1998 require Gillet style flanges. Buyers should check the product gallery images against their own vehicle before ordering to confirm the correct flange style.
Which 993 models does this X-pipe fit?
It fits the 1994-1998 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4, the 1996-1998 Carrera 4S, the 1997-1998 Carrera S, and the 1995-1996 Carrera RS. The Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S and Carrera S use the 3.6L flat six, while the Carrera RS uses the 3.8L flat six.
What is included with installation?
The kit includes the investment-cast X-pipe with 200-cell HJS sport catalytic converters, CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing, and all required hardware and gaskets. Installation is a bolt-on job with no cutting or welding required, and the factory ball-joint exhaust clamps are reused.
Is this product covered by a warranty?
Yes. Like all Fabspeed performance products, the Catted Sport X-Pipe is backed by Fabspeed’s lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, covering the X-pipe and catalytic converter housings regardless of which flange style is ordered.

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.
