What are the Fabspeed Competition Downpipes made from?

The Competition Downpipes are formed from 3-inch T304L stainless steel and TIG welded by hand from USA components. On the single-turbo 718 the car takes one downpipe, sized to flow far more than the factory unit, and it carries a Fabspeed lifetime warranty.

How much power do they add?

Fabspeed quotes about 25 horsepower over the factory equipment, with gains across the whole rev band, because the 3-inch downpipe frees the flow right at the turbocharger. The biggest gains come from pairing the downpipe with the XperTune tune.

Yes. They fit the 2017 and newer 982 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman in base, S and GTS trims with the 2.0-liter or 2.5-liter turbo flat-four. They do not fit the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter GT4, GTS 4.0 or Spyder.

How is this different from the Competition Link Pipe?

The Competition Downpipes are the larger 3-inch section right off the turbocharger and are the most aggressive, biggest-flowing option, while the Competition Link Pipe is a smaller cat-section pipe. The downpipe makes the most power and sound; both are for off-road use.

No. The Competition Downpipes have no catalytic converter and are intended for closed-course and off-road use only. They are not CARB approved or legal for use on public roads. For a street-legal, emissions-scrubbed option, choose the Fabspeed Sport Cats.

Will they trigger a check-engine light?

They can, because they flow far more freely than the factory downpipe and do not include a catalytic converter. They are a competition part for track and off-road use; plan the fitment and any tuning accordingly.

Description

Fabspeed Competition Downpipes for 982 Porsche 718 Boxster / GTS / S and 718 Cayman / GTS / S

Fabspeed’s Competition Downpipes for the 982 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman are the most aggressive exhaust upgrade for the turbocharged flat-four, freeing the flow right off the turbocharger with a large 3-inch pipe. Designed and TIG welded by hand in-house by Fabspeed Motorsport, an American engineering house crafting exhaust systems for the world’s finest sports cars since 1988, the single-turbo car takes one 3-inch T304L stainless steel downpipe worth about 25 horsepower over the factory equipment, with gains across the whole rev band. Built for closed-course use, it cuts backpressure for stronger flow, sharper throttle response and the hardest sound in the range, a focused track upgrade for the turbocharged 718.

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.
