What about extending the length exhaust pipe after the x pipe like Emilia Hartford did. They claim more power better sound? This should be fast and easy.

 

Thanks, Rob!

We should have the above Carbon option available this week! The Titanium set is still being developed, but hopefully, we can get you a sneak peek here shortly! Stay tuned

 

Chevrolet doesn’t offer a carbon fiber exhaust tip option, so we set out to fix that.

Our tips are designed to fit the stock rear bumper and will work with most aftermarket exhaust systems that use the factory exhaust tips. Made from T304 stainless steel and real matte carbon fiber these tips are designed to stand up to the abuse any tracked Z06 can throw at them.





FEATURES:

• Fits all Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 2023+ models with center exit exhaust
• Direct replacement bolt-on tips to replace the factory Chevy tips
• Floating style tips work with OEM and many different aftermarket exhausts
• Crafted from T304 stainless steel and real Matte Carbon fiber
• Matte carbon fiber tips are "intercooled" so they last under intense heat
• Bolt-on installation, no cutting or welding required
• All Fabspeed performance products are backed by the Fabspeed Lifetime Warranty

 

Nice. Are these available now? Also, any updates on the Ti version? Is that version still in the plans?

Thanks!

 

They are indeed!

The Ti version is still in the works, hoping to have it finalized in the next couple of weeks!

For those that do not follow us on social media, or just haven't heard, we finally took delivery of our shop Z and are excited to continue R&D. I encourage everyone to stay tuned, as we have a TON of products on the horizon!

 

This is Joe Fabiani President and founder of Fabspeed Motorsport USA- I bought the mighty Z06.

Pearlescent white 70th anniversary Z06.

Going in for PPF, carbon flash roof, and other continual improvement long term product development

1st DYNO proven , race track autobahn durable modifications to be installed are :
HJS German imported Emitec 200 cell TRi-metallic racing catalytic converters . HJS all metal catalytic converters flow the equivalent of 90 to 93% of a straight pipe . All this with NO CEL , check engine lights. HJS German Emitec catalytic converters are European Homologated Euro 5/6 certified.

2nd Fabspeed Motorsport valvetronic X pipe. A true X pipe that combines both Right and Left V8 exhaust banks to give a high maximum pitched flat plane crank sound. Fabspeed employed the same Dyno proven design from our Ferrari 458 experience of over 14 years developing X pipes for V8, V10, V12 , Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and other exotics. Lots of companies “slap together X pipes or pseudo X pipe or simple sets of pipes and market it all with Maximum Hype……..dont assume everything isn the same and beware of Fan Boys.

The X pipe is difficult to properly engineer, design for maximum power and spectacular sports car sound. The Ferrari 458 Italia came out in 2009 and 14 years of continual improvement was applied to all C8 Z51 and C8 Z06 exhausts at Fabspeed USA.

The Fabspeed C8Z06 valvetronic will soon be completed and will USE the Worlds finest electronic plug and play exhaust valves from Helical limited Great Britain. It took a lot of extra effort BUT finally an aerospace quality exhaust valve for the mighty 670+HP Z06 . No cheap Chinese Asian mongrel exhaust valves. Helical ISO certified exhaust valves are used by Tier 1 OEM like Ferrari, MClaren, Pagani, Koe****segg, Porsche GT and other hypercars. When the valves must never ever fail a helical delivers Inconel 321SS proven exhaust valves.

Other developments: Quad titanium tips for stock C8Z06 and aftermarket exhaust systems. Titanium lightweight X pipe valved Helical valves and non-valved.

Cruise over and feel free to check out the Z06 and Ferrari 296 GTB and take a tour. Always a lot going on and we will always show anyone our equipment and technology as we design, engineer, dyno develop our systems and dont simply sell stuff.

Pearlescent at nite.

They are getting along which is good. Python Green and pearl white spider.

Kerry Hughes Criswell Corvette - thank you.

296 GTB hybrid 830HP total gas and electric combined

296 OEM V6 Twin Turbo OEM exhaust system. Ceramic 700 cell cats and BIG Gasoline particulate filters foreground. HELICAL LIMITED OEM ELECTRIC exhaust valves imported from United Kingdom. No cheap lousy Asian pacific rim valves for Z06 , Ferrari, Mclaren, Porsche , BMW, Mercedes G63 , Lamborghini and other supercars!

Last weeks line up……dont hate …….lots of C8 Z06 and C8 Z51 have been lined up . We like and respect all great sports cars.

 

Looking forward for your developments.

 

Joe, Can you further explain how the cats being Euro 5/6 certified is relevant to us in the States? I'm not trying to be a wise ***. I want to upgrade the sound and volume on my Z06 and from what I've seen and heard, a cat back exhaust isn't going to accomplish what I want. I will need sport cats. However, I'm very leery of voiding my warranty, or even having the hassle of proving that a cat replacement didn't cause a problem with any other component. I will lose that argument with GM. So, are your sport cats 50 state certified and can you say unequivocally that they won't void the warranty?

 

People are getting CEL with these cats, I don't think they'll meet your expectations

 

According to the Fabspeed web site, they guarantee no CELs on their Z06 Sport Cat setup.

 

Yes, that's why they charge such a premium too, but quite a few reports of CELs

Maybe we'll get clarification here

 

By not answering, should I derive my own answer to the question?

 

FYI, unless the number of cats and their exact location is retained, there is no such thing as “50 state legal.”

A catalytic converter by itself can be EPA approved (pretty sure HJS isn’t), but again, unless the same number of cats and their OE location are retained, it doesn’t matter if the cat used is EPA approved.

For example, in this case, the warm up cats are being removed, so this product as a whole isn’t EPA (and by definition 50 state) legal.

I never got an answer for him either when I asked about what valves he was using when he released his Z06 system over a year ago, if now he is using his super duper aerospace “non-mongrel” (what the heck does that even mean) valves.

Seems that he likes to cut corners on anything and everything until the customer complaints overwhelm him and then he finally uses a quality part and claims he’s the only one in the world doing it. Same thing he always did in the Porsche forums.

 

He’s definitely ignoring you. He just posted another typical plug for his cats in another thread 2.5 hours ago…. So I asked him there too.

 

WARNING post from a Porsche troll.

Honestly if you don’t want to deal with CEL’s just keep the car stock.

 

I just got up and noticed these posts. I’ll do my best to answer all your questions . My personal email is joe@fabspeed.com and also add john@fabspeed.com in case you have additional questions and feel free to cruise over to our facility if you can at any time too.

HJS Emitec catalytic converters are imported from Germany by Fabspeed. Emitec a tier 1 global OEM supplier manufacturers the metal matric catalytic converter core and external catalytic converter shell. These TRi-metallic 200 cell catalytic converters are stainless steel brazed cores with a heavy proprietary wash-coat of Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium. 200 cell catalytic converters are 300% stronger than 100 cell cores (same size ) and work. HJS strongly recommends against 100 cell cats unless its a consumable item for racing as the extra 3% to 4% enhanced flow is insignificant over 90%+ of there 200 cell cats and 300% stronger cores and 100 cell virtually GUARANTEES a check engine light on all OBD2 applications.

HJS Emitec catalytic converters are European Union certified and European homologated to meet emissions standards of European Union countries. These are mandatory emissions certifications that require testing in both laboratories and rear world 3rd party testing and aging of the catalytic converters.

Fabspeed Motorsport USA was appointed by HJS Germany to directly import all their catalytic converters and emissions systems for all of North & South America. So you and or any potential buyer of HJS catalytic converters for their car (we also sell weld-on do it yourself cores) can have confidence that you are receiving the Worlds very best race endurance proven ultra high flow racing catalytic converters bar none.

Faulty check engine lights can occasionally occur as new cars are released as there is no historical data nor testing data for designing, testing and applying HJS catalytic converters to new engines. At Fabspeed we choose the highest rated European certified/homologated catakytic converter that’s will fit the application. We consult with the German engineers about maximum RPM , maximum power and evaluate the OEM catalytic converters size and position.

We applied this criteria for the C8Z51 / C8 1st generation corvettes with success. From time to time there have been a few fault codes initially but in long term no issues no problems.

On the much higher horsepower C8Z06 an even larger diameter - larger surface area HJS catalytic converter was chosen and tested . Ultimately, the Fabspeed Motorsport C8 Z06 HJS catalytic converters are working for many C8Z06 owners and are installed by new car Chevrolet corvette dealers and Corvette tuning shops.

I sincerely hope I answered any and all questions . Each time a new car debuts we go through the same decision engineering cycle at fabspeed motorsport usa. There is NO advice nor empiracle data to rely on. We reply on over 30+ years of designing, engineering, street and race track developing and testing catalytic converters for sports cars. As I mentioned the default decision is to select the largest highest rated (Euro 5/Euro6) HJS German catalytic converter for the vehicle and test and test and consult. It works as these are simply internal combustion engines and we simply apply logic. Waiting for the Mclaren Artura and 992.2 GT2RS and C8ZR1 when these monsters are released we will develop bolt-on replacement HJS cats.

Ferrari 296 GTB in for development right now. Feel free to come by for a tour. Have a great week!

Ferrari 296 GTB factory OEM exhaust far left and right . Fabspeed even larger that stock 296 HJS cats insulated with 2000 stainless ceramic material in the center. TWIN TURBOs are attached by V band clamps

Bella maccina. Car starts ONLY in electric mode and switches to Engine power if you dip into throttle. Interior is beyond beautiful.

 

Joe did you perform as a politician at an earlier stage in your life because you never answered the question if it is carb certified 50 states. Ty.

 

No company has CARB certification for any C8 corvette aftermarket systems. That being said Fabspeed Cat-back exhaust systems are CARB approved since no company needs carb approvals for catback or exhaust tips.

Fabspeed HJS German imported European homolgated European certified catalytic converters are EPA approved and are the worlds very best catalytic converters. No Im not a politician but a car enthusiast that has over 25 years of Road racing all along many road courses from Sebring to Mosport park Canada. I was a consumer and given lousy crappy Porsche parts I developed and created a company with now currently over 30 years design engineering experience dyno developing performance parts and systems for Sportscars. There are lots of companies “selling shiny objects “ and Fabspeed does not simply sell shiny parts that don’t work .

 

Fabspeed Motorsport Development update: C8Z06 valvetronic design approved for volume production. We finally completed durability endurance testing and can report that Helical Limited U.K. Aerospace quality electronic exhaust valves have been thoroughly developed for Corvette C8Z06. Fabspeed took extra time to develop super premium lightweight electric Plug-in & Play exhaust valves for the 670HP 8600 RPM brute . Helical exhaust valves are used by Tier 1 OEM sports car and HYpercar manufacturers as the valves are 321 stainless steel, 625 Inconel with silicon carbide actuation points that never fail under extreme heat.

Fabspeed exclusively uses Helical British imported premium exhaust valves vacuum actuated and electrically actuated for Porsche Mclaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW M, Mercedes G Wagen, and C8Z06 cars. NO Cheap Chinese or questionable mongrel exhaust valves 100% guaranteed to rattle, break or fail and vibrate constantly .

John and I will send VIDEOS and Photos. We also released for sale carbon fiber “anti wind buffeting deflectors” that attach with 3M tape at the mirrors that eliminate wind buffeting vibrational noise and they look great. A pair of simple do it yourself pieces.

Almost completed simple front underside bolt-on HMPE , high molecular poly ethylene, Scrape protection kit. 3 piece CAD designed pieces that are simply installed wirh existing and supplied hardware , no cutting no drilling - removable/replaceable, that will protect the underside of the C8Z06 front spoiler for sharp severa Driveway entries and exits. Pictures soon and preorders accepted.

Looking for a C8Z06 Z07 package local car for complimentary AERO enhancement

C8 Z06 Quad carbon fiber bolt-on tips are available and soon Titanium Quad tips for visual upgrades for all C8Z06 coupes and spiders .

 

Congratulations! Very excited to see and hear this system! Looking forward to the videos!
