What does the Link Pipe Conversion Kit actually do?

It lets an owner switch an existing Fabspeed 993 X-pipe between two configurations: a Sport Cat setup using HJS high-flow catalytic converters for street driving, and a Race setup using straight link pipes for closed-course use. It bolts on without needing a second full X-pipe.

Is this kit street legal?

The Sport Cat configuration uses catalytic converters and is intended for street driving, though it is not CARB or EPA certified. The Race configuration is strictly for closed-course track and off-road use, is not street legal, and will trigger a check engine light on OBD-II equipped cars.

Does this kit work as a standalone X-pipe?

No. This kit only converts an X-pipe a customer already owns; it requires an existing Fabspeed Sport Cat or Race X-pipe already installed on the vehicle. Customers who don't already have one of those X-pipes should order the full X-pipe instead.

Which 993 models does this kit fit?

It fits the 1994-1998 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4, the 1996-1998 Carrera 4S, and the 1997-1998 Carrera S, all with the 3.6L flat six, provided the vehicle already has a compatible Fabspeed 993 X-pipe installed.

What is included with installation?

The kit includes the CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel components needed to convert the X-pipe, along with the necessary hardware. Installation is a bolt-on job with no cutting or welding required, and the factory ball-joint exhaust clamps are reused rather than replaced.

Is this kit covered by a warranty?

Yes. Like all Fabspeed performance products, the Link Pipe Conversion Kit is backed by Fabspeed's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, covering both the Sport Cat and Race link pipe components.

Description

Fabspeed Link Pipe Conversion Kit for 993 Porsche 911 Carrera / 4 / 4S / S

The Fabspeed Link Pipe Conversion Kit lets owners of an existing Fabspeed 993 X-pipe switch between the Sport Cat configuration, which uses HJS high-flow catalytic converters, and the Race configuration, which uses straight link pipes built for closed-course and off-road use. The kit bolts directly onto an existing Fabspeed Sport Cat or Race X-pipe, so switching between street-driven Sport Cat operation and dedicated track use no longer requires a second full X-pipe.

Features

Sport Cat kit includes German-imported 200-cell HJS tri-metallic catalytic converters for street-driven Sport Cat X-pipes
Race kit includes straight link pipes built for closed-course and off-road use only
CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel, fabricated in-house at Fabspeed Motorsport
Simple bolt-on installation, no cutting or welding required
Fabspeed’s improved design does not require reusing the factory metal exhaust donut
Backed by the Fabspeed lifetime warranty

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.
