Xpipe fabspeed

[M3 FRANCE]

Hello

Saddened for the translation, I am FRENCH.

I understand not the explanations on the site, concerning Xpipe FABSPEED for M3 E92.

HE(IT) it to Xpipe FABSPEED, with resonator and the other one without resonator.

Which model will be better to put with an exhaust VANGUARDE.

Thank you for your help(assistant);

Unless specially designed in a different manner, like the Akrapolvic, all the X-pipes should be able to mate with all the axle-backs without much difficulty.

If there is a lot of difficulty in connecting the two, then usually it's the work of a defect. I personally had problems connecting the Riss Racing X-pipe to the Agency Power axle-back. Turns out that both had fitment issues.

If you get Fabspeed or Gintani or AA, it should connect with little difficulty.

From what i know, the fabspeed x-pipe only comes with the resonators now. They no longer offer those without the resonator.

I have the vanguard exhaust, and i pair it with the fabspeed x-pipe and it definitely sounds mean, you can check my video on youtube. You can't go wrong with this set up

Hello

One thank you for your answers.
I have more information at home than by FRANCE.
Francais is afraid of regulations on the road and They make no modification.: Cry:

I think of buying an exhaust VANGUARDE with a xpipe FABSPEED.
But I wait for VORSTEINER for the exit(release) of its TYPE 2.

I again have to choose between VANGUARDE and VORSTEINER??

This material(equipment) is not in France and I has to find a salesman for an expedition in FRANCE;difficult!!!!

Still thank you

We have a few customers in France that we've assisted with this exact piece.

Fabspeed only offers the X-Pipe with the resonators now. They've done this ensure a nice sound without any harsh resonance.

They sound great paired with a whole variety of aftermarket exhaust systems.

You have a PM!

Edward: Any opinions on the Fabspeed x-pipe versus the Challenge x-pipe (street version)?

It looks like both these x-pipes don't have the secondary cats but have the resonators.

I haven't checked out the Challenge pieces, but the Fabspeed products (just like their Porsche line) are absolutely top notch when it comes to materials and craftsmanship.

You can't go wrong with the Fabspeed X-Pipe. They make any exhaust sound delicious!

is this video with x-pipe only or with thier HFC's as well? Where do you see the larger gains when looking at them seperately?

^^^

That video of the E92 M3 is with just their X-pipe installed. With HFCs, the car sounds like a Le Mans prototype car coming down the straights!

The HFCs replace the OE cats with 200-cell Sport Catalysts. You'll definitely have more gains with the Sport Cat setup over just X-pipe.

My first choice would be to run without primary cats, but all these issues I read with CEL's make it not worth the hassle for me. (From what I hear, the car needs to be driven a lot just to clear the CEL from the ECU's history).

I figure the best compromise would be to keep the primary cats and get a Fabspeed or AA x-pipe which don't have the secondary cats. Before inspection, I'd switch the x-pipe back to stock and the tester would never know the difference.

Any holes in this logic?
