Does this X-pipe include catalytic converters?

No. The Competition Link X-Pipe is a straight-through design that does not include catalytic converters. It is built for closed-course track and off-road use rather than street driving, and is not CARB or EPA certified.

Is this X-pipe street legal?

No. It is strictly intended for closed-course track and off-road use and is not legal for use on public roads. It is not CARB or EPA certified, and it will trigger a check engine light on OBD-II equipped vehicles.

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.

How much power does this X-pipe add?

On an in-house dynojet, the Competition Link X-Pipe added 18whp and 19ft-lbs of torque over the factory exhaust on the Carrera, along with an 11lb weight reduction from the rear of the car.

What is included with installation?

The kit includes the investment-cast X-pipe, 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 Competition Link X-Pipe is backed by Fabspeed's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. This covers the investment-cast X-pipe and stainless tubing regardless of which flange style — Bischoff or Gillet — is ordered.

Description

Fabspeed Competition Link X-Pipe for 993 Porsche 911 Carrera / 4 / 4S / S

The Fabspeed Competition Link X-Pipe is a straight-through, high-flow X-pipe for the 993 Porsche 911 Carrera that replaces the factory mid-pipe section with an investment-cast X-pipe and mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel tubing. The design increases exhaust flow and reduces weight over the factory setup, and produces a noticeably louder, more aggressive exhaust note at higher rpm. This X-pipe does not include catalytic converters and is built for closed-course track and off-road use.

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.
