Fabspeed Primary Sport Catalytic Converter Downpipe. Porsche 971 Panamera V6 (2017+)  ›  FSPOR971V6SCDP

The Fabspeed Primary Sport Catalytic Converter Downpipe is a high-performance replacement for the restrictive factory catalytic-converter downpipe fitted to the Porsche 971 Panamera Base V6 single-turbo model from 2017 onward.

Fits:

• Porsche 971.1 Panamera V6 3.0L 2WD (330 Hp) 2017-20
• Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4 V6 3.0L 4WD (330 Hp) 2017-20
• Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4 V6 3.0L 4WD Executive 2017-20
• Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4 3.0L Turbocharged V6 Sport Turismo 2017-20
• Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4S V6 3.0L 4WD (440 Hp) 2017-20
• Porsche 971.1 Panamera 4S V6 3.0L 4WD Executive 2017-20  

Designed to improve exhaust flow immediately downstream of the turbocharger, the system replaces the original catalyst section with a freer-flowing German HJS 200-cell tri-metallic high-performance catalytic converter.

The lower-density catalyst allows exhaust gases to pass through with significantly less restriction while still retaining catalytic exhaust treatment. This can help reduce post-turbo backpressure, improve throttle response, sharpen turbo response and produce a more pronounced performance exhaust note.

Fabspeed constructs the downpipe from 14–16 gauge CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel, providing strong corrosion resistance, high-temperature durability and a smooth exhaust path.

What This Product Does:
The primary catalytic converter downpipe connects the turbocharger outlet to the remainder of the exhaust system.

It is designed to:

• Carry exhaust gases away from the turbocharger.
• Reduce restriction compared with the factory catalyst.
• Reduce post-turbo exhaust backpressure.
• Improve exhaust gas evacuation.
• Support quicker turbocharger response.
• Improve throttle response.
• Support increased horsepower and torque.
• Produce a stronger performance exhaust note.
• Retain catalytic exhaust treatment.
• Replace a damaged, restricted or deteriorated factory catalytic converter.
• Provide a durable stainless-steel exhaust upgrade.

• Check Engine Light.
• Catalyst-efficiency fault codes.
• Reduced engine performance.
• Sluggish acceleration.
• Slower turbo response.
• Loss of power at higher engine speeds.
• Increased exhaust backpressure.
• Metallic rattling from the catalytic converter.
• Unusual exhaust smell.
• Excessive catalyst temperature.
• Poor fuel economy.
• Failed emissions testing.
• Internal catalyst material breaking apart.
• Melted or collapsed catalyst substrate.

• Correct exhaust gas flow.
• Turbocharger efficiency.
• Engine performance.
• Proper catalytic operation.
• Exhaust-system sealing.
• Reliable emissions-system operation.

Upgrading to the Fabspeed sport catalyst additionally provides:

• Reduced exhaust restriction.
• Improved throttle response.
• Increased performance potential.
• Stronger exhaust sound.
• Durable stainless-steel construction.
