What are the Fabspeed Sport Cats for 997 Porsche made from?

The Sport Cats for 997 Porsche 911 GT2 use an HJS German 200-cell high-flow substrate in a 14 to 16 gauge T304 stainless steel housing, CNC mandrel bent. HJS units are EMITEC certified and imported directly by Fabspeed, the exclusive HJS distributor for North and South America.

Do they fit the 997 GT2?

Yes. They are a direct bolt-on fit for the 2008-2009 997 Porsche 911 GT2 and its 3.6L twin-turbo flat-six. They install in place of the Factory Equipment and need no cutting or fabrication.

Are they street legal?

In 49 states, yes. They are emissions compliant in 49 states and carry a guaranteed no check-engine light, which makes them a strong choice for a street-driven 997 GT2. They are not legal for sale or use in California or other states that require CARB certification.

Will they trigger a check-engine light?

No. Fabspeed guarantees no check-engine light on a correctly installed set, because the HJS high-flow substrate keeps the O2 sensors reading within spec. This is a key advantage over off-road pipes, which can set a light.

How much do they improve performance?

The Sport Cats flow up to 90 to 93 percent of a straight pipe in most applications, which reduces backpressure and frees the twin-turbo flat-six for more power, quicker throttle response and a fuller sound than the Factory Equipment. The biggest gains come from pairing them with a supporting XperTune calibration.

How hard are they to install?

Not hard. This is a direct bolt-on job rated Level-1 for install difficulty that most owners can do at home with hand tools. The Sport Cats fit in place of the Factory Equipment, and no tuning changes are required for the car to run correctly, though a matching tune unlocks more.

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.
