Does the Fabspeed Sport Cat X-Pipe fit the 2005-2010 V8 Vantage?

Yes. The Fabspeed Sport Cat X-Pipe fits the Aston Martin V8 Vantage built from 2005 to 2010 with the naturally aspirated 4.3L or 4.7L V8. It replaces the factory mid-section as a bolt-on with no cutting or welding, so it fits the car with the factory rear exhaust in place.

How much power does the Sport Cat X-Pipe add?

On the dyno, Fabspeed measures up to 39 wheel horsepower and 41 ft-lbs of torque, along with a 20-pound weight reduction. The gains come from the 200-cell HJS sport catalysts and the investment-cast X-pipe opening up the restrictive factory mid-section in comparison to the Factory Equipment, while the sport cats keep catalytic function.

Will the Sport Cat X-Pipe set a check engine light, and is it street legal?

No check engine light. Fabspeed guarantees it, because the 200-cell HJS sport catalysts keep full catalytic function, so the car reads them cleanly. It keeps the V8 Vantage emissions-functional, though Fabspeed lists it as not CARB certified, so it is not for sale in California. Outside CARB states it runs clean and code-free.

What is the Fabspeed Sport Cat X-Pipe made from?

It is built from 14 to 16 gauge CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel, with genuine 200-cell HJS sport catalysts and Fabspeed's signature investment-cast X-pipe. Everything is fabricated in-house at Fabspeed, so the mid-section flows freely, handles the heat of the V8, and fits precisely in place of the factory parts.

How does it change the sound?

It deepens and enriches the V8 Vantage's voice, bringing out a fuller, more resonant note from the naturally aspirated V8 without turning harsh. The investment-cast X-pipe balances the exhaust pulses between the banks, which is what gives the sound its richer character, and the sport cats keep it refined enough for the street.

Is installation a bolt-on job?

Yes. The Sport Cat X-Pipe is a direct bolt-on that replaces the factory mid-section with no cutting or welding. It is a DIY-friendly job for a capable owner, though because it sits under the car many owners have it fitted by a shop. It keeps the factory rear exhaust in place.

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.
