Description
Elevate your Porsche 991 Carrera’s performance and sound with the Fabspeed Valvetronic Center Muffler Bypass X-Pipe. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a factory valved exhaust system, this premium exhaust modification delivers an aggressive, sporty exhaust note when the valves are open and a smoother tone with them closed. Experience a dramatic improvement in power, sound, and weight reduction without compromising the stock valved system’s functionality. If your car is not equipped with a factory valved system, you can opt for our valve controller upgrade for added control.
Key Features
- Vehicle Fitment: Compatible with 2012-2016 Porsche 991 Carrera 3.4L and Carrera S 3.8L models with factory valved exhausts. (Note: 2012 was a split model year—ensure your model is a 991 and not a 997.2 before purchase.)

- Optional Upgrade: For non-valved exhaust cars, select the "Standard Exhaust" option, which includes a valve controller kit to add valved functionality.
- Bolt-On Installation: Direct replacement for the factory valved center muffler, ensuring a simple, hassle-free installation.
- Lifetime Warranty: Backed by Fabspeed’s lifetime warranty, guaranteeing long-lasting performance and peace of mind.
How to Identify a Valved Exhaust
To check if your Porsche 991 Carrera is equipped with a factory valved exhaust system, look at the exhaust tips. A valved exhaust will have both an outer and inner pipe, while a non-valved system will feature only a single pipe attached to the tips.
Note: This Valvetronic Muffler Bypass X-Pipe is compatible only with vehicles equipped with a factory valved exhaust system. For cars without a valved system, consider upgrading to Fabspeed’s complete Porsche 991 Carrera Valvetronic Exhaust System with valve controller for full functionality.
Performance & Sound
With the Fabspeed Valvetronic Center Muffler Bypass X-Pipe, you’ll experience a thrilling exhaust note that amplifies your driving experience. Whether cruising with the valves closed or accelerating with them open, the sound is noticeably improved compared to the stock system. This exhaust also boosts performance across the RPM range, providing a significant power increase and a more aggressive driving dynamic.
