The Fabspeed Over‑Axle Link Pipes for the 718 GT4 RS / Spyder RS swap out the restrictive stock over‑axle exhaust plumbing for a freer‑flowing, mandrel‑bent stainless‑steel design — unlocking more power, reducing weight, and giving the flat‑six a deeper, more aggressive exhaust tone. The upgrade increases exhaust flow and reduces back‑pressure while maintaining bolt‑on simplicity. It’s an effective first mod to give your GT4 RS a rawer, more performance‑oriented sound and sharper throttle response without needing a full exhaust overhaul.
Designed to replace factory over‑axle pipes — requires removal of stock pipes and direct bolt‑on installation. No cutting or welding required.
Select either resonated (muffled) or non‑resonated configuration depending on volume preference.
Left and right over‑axle link pipes crafted from mandrel‑bent stainless steel.
Optional resonator (if chosen) — straight‑through mini‑muffler style for reduced drone and smoother sound.
All required mounting hardware and flanges for direct bolt‑on connection to the existing exhaust system.
Material: T‑304L stainless steel, mandrel‑bent tubing — built in-house by Fabspeed.
Power Gain (stock configuration, no tune): +30 HP and +34 ft‑lb torque at ~4750 RPM (≈ +33 HP at the crank) according to Fabspeed dyno results.
Weight Savings: ~ 12 lbs (≈ 5.4 kg) lighter than the stock over‑axle assembly.
Flow Improvement: Tubing is ~ 40% larger than OEM for maximum flow, reducing exhaust restriction.
Heat Shielding: Bi‑layer shielding with a stainless‑steel outer shell and ceramic‑fiber core, rated to handle continuous heat up to approx. 2400°F (1300 °C) — helps protect rear suspension components from heat soak.
Configuration Options: Resonated (quieter) or non‑resonated (louder, more aggressive) versions available.
Fitment Design: CAD‑designed via 3D OEM exhaust scan for perfect bolt‑on fitment with factory mounting points.
Significant Power & Torque Gain — The freer flow and reduced exhaust back‑pressure delivers real-world dyno gains even without tuning, improving mid‑range punch and throttle response.
Weight Reduction & Dynamic Benefit — Shedding roughly 12 lbs from the exhaust helps reduce unsprung/rotating mass, improving throttle feel, suspension response, and overall car agility.
Enhanced Exhaust Tone — The larger flow path and streamlined design give the 4.0 L flat‑six a more aggressive, GT‑inspired exhaust note — deeper and more pronounced than stock.
Improved Heat Management — The heavy-duty heat shielding protects rear suspension components (shocks, bushings) from excessive heat soak, ideal for spirited driving or track use.
Flexible Sound Profile — With the choice between resonated or non‑resonated configurations, the owner can tailor the exhaust character: a mature tone for street use or raw aggression for performance driving.
Bolt‑On, No‑Mod Install — Designed for direct replacement of stock over‑axle pipes — straightforward to install without cutting, welding or special tools.
Paved the Way for Further Upgrades — By improving exhaust flow and reducing restriction before the muffler stage, these link pipes lay the foundation for future exhaust, headers, or tuning modifications.
