Fabspeed Exhaust
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.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible symptoms include:
- 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.
Why Replacement Matters:
Replacing a restricted or failed factory catalyst helps restore:
- 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.
