Dont kill me y'all, i tried searching this but got vague results,

The advertised power increase for the Fabspeed Sport cat DP are 21Hp and 36lb Increase (via their website). i asked their live chat if this is with or without tune, which they stated is without.


Are these true statements? im in Southern California (91 octane) and the numbers posted seem impressive but i wonder if they would be the same for those of us stock in California.

Also, can anyone in CA verify that this is fine with emissions testing?

Thanks all!

Pretty sure nothing is actually legal in CA...you aren't supposed to touch emission devices

Now whether they can/will look and whether your car actually goes on the SMOG dyno...that's another story. Also, no SMOG check for the first 5 years for new cars - so the first time you'll get a SMOG request will be in 2022 (2017) or 2023 (2018)

I cant advise you on the CA legality, though I suspect pulling off a piece of emissions equipment and replacing it with the Fabspeed piece wont fly in CA.

I can tell you that the butt dyno confirms the power increase, even without a tune. It's a very noticeable increase. Plus the sound is killer.

The 21/36 figures are the result of using 93. I'd figure about 70-80% of that using 91. Even if the DP didn't provide any power increase, it would still be worth it because of the sound.

It also minimizes turbo lag because of the high flow cat which is also better quality than OEM.

The only negative for me is the 10 second cold start volume. Everything else is aces.
