The SpeedTech 996TT X-cellerator cross-flow/X-Flow exhaust was designed to offer the discerning Porsche enthusiast the ultimate exhaust system with a number of performance and sound options in one modular platform.
CROSSFLOW or X-FLOW DESIGN - By combining the exhaust pulses from both sides of the Porsche boxer motor with an "True-X" at the center of the muffler (internal crossflow design), we have developed a unique, exotic sound that has to be heard to be appreciated. Our trademark sound is well known and highly respected throughout the industry.
DESIGN OPTIONS - The X-cellerator system includes catalytic converter bypass pipe and muffler bypass pipe options resulting in four possible exhaust configurations:
PERFORMANCE - The SpeedTech X-cellerator cross-flow system eliminates approximately 25 pounds of weight (full system w/ cats) compared to the Porsche OEM exhaust. Additional weight savings can be realized with use of the off road configurations. Whether lap times or straight line speed is your goal, the weight savings will help yield quicker track times. Faster track and ¼ mile times, better everyday performance and the pronounced engine note will provide an enhanced driving experience for all types of uses.
Our free flowing, straight through design, along with proprietary Hi-Flow 100 cell “Hi-Flow” catalytic converters will improve the performance of your Porsche 996TT. Our 100 cell catalytic converters offer the extremely quick turbo spool, along with increased torque, higher horsepower and much crisper throttle response vs. OEM or even 200 cell aftermarket cats!
All components are constructed of T304 stainless steel and our
mufflers are packed with stainless steel wool for years of trouble
free performance, even under extreme use conditions. This is a
very well built, top of the line exhaust system for the discriminating enthusiast and very fitting for the Porsche turbo.
TIPS - We offer several tip options to appeal to a variety of tastes. Each tip option is pictured to the right. They include:
2.5 - Our 2.5 "quiet" version is extremely quiet in the cabin while cruising at low RPM’s and allows for easy cell phone usage, conversation and music enjoyment. Yet under acceleration it emits a very sporty, wonderful, high-end tuned sound. The perfect combination and aggressive enough for the majority of turbo owners! When optioned with the muffler bypass pipes, the 2.5 becomes a lightweight, full 3” straight pipe system for track use! A competition 2.5 X-Pipe can also be fitted for a loud exotic sound with no drone.
3.0 - If you desire a loud, aggressive sounding system, the 3.0
version is for you. The assertive tone on start-up is followed by a
dominant cup car like wail at WOT. A true race car sound for the
street. The full 3” design will provide unrestricted flow, even on
the most powerful built cars, as well as a stock car. The 3.0 X-cellerator muffler is deeper in tone and the 3.0 X-Pipe provides a high pitched Italian exotic style wail.
Please take a moment and listen to our videos below and hear
all systems for yourself.
We offer a lifetime warranty of manufacturing defects for the
original owner. The SpeedTech X-cellerator is designed, tested and manufactured in the USA .

It is important to understand that not all “X-Flow”designs are the same - We tested all forms of "X" design exhausts on the 996TT during our 996TTproduct development , including:
This represents all common X-Flow designs. After extensive testing, we chose our internal “True-X” design as offering the best quality sound on the 996TT, the goal being to eliminate unwanted resonance and achieve a desirable exotic type sport sound. Our proprietary "X" design produces a more refined, tuned quality and was best at eliminating unwanted resonance (drone). SpeedTech has made the "X" design famous for offering a fantastic sound on twin turbo Porsches and we feel that with our innovative and unique internal “X” design, we have developed the finest sound available for the 996TT. Our X-cellerator system has been chosen by many customers over several competitors in direct testing, some systems costing almost twice as much. We found that by mixing the two banks of exhaust gasses inside the muffler, as well as, at the "X", we achieved the best possible sound from the 996TT. This design is exclusive to SpeedTech, which allows us to reach a pitch that the other designs can not match, resulting in what many claim to be the best sounding system on the market.
As part of our R&D, we extensively tested numerous tip designs to produce the perfect exhaust note. Our final SpeedTech "Sound Engineered" tip design was developed to provide the most refined exterior note combined with unprecedented interior comfort for a performance exhaust. There is no substitute for this type of extensive R&D with exhaust design. It takes more than fabricating a good looking exhaust to achieve the proper sound. The combination of our internal "X" cross-flow muffler with our sound engineered tips results in a unique sound and comfort that our competitors simply can not match. We do offer an OEM tip option as a base system, but we recommend our SpeedTech tips as they are harmonically engineered to provide the best possible sound from our "X-cellerator" systems.
There are many companies copying the SpeedTech X-design principal today, yet none have achieved the unique exotic sound or the quality of the SpeedTech exhaust sound. Often they use poor fitting, improperly sized or off the shelf mufflers & components, combined with untested X-designs that drone, hang too low and/or utilize inferior muffler packing materials. The SpeedTech X-Flow muffler is a complete, ground up, in-house design that emerged from extensive developmental testing, while seeking to design the best possible exhaust system for the Porsche 996TT. You will never find a SpeedTech 996TT X-cellerator muffler or muffler component selling under another name because we produce every system from scratch and none of the components are “off the shelf” or available anywhere else. Even our catalytic converters are hand made in house and are not "off the shelf" units. Many of our competitors exhausts end up for sale very quickly after purchase and often the decision is then made to purchase a SpeedTech. We have seen this repeatedly and our advice is to "make the right decision the first time and don’t waste your time and money on a questionable product"....only to end up with buyer remorse and replacing it a few months later. When you purchase a SpeedTech system, you are purchasing a one of a kind, superior sounding and performing exhaust, designed by long time Porsche enthusiasts. We strongly feel there is no better choice. And we guarantee it! (see sound guarantee for details)

996TT Customer Comments
996TTS - 2.5 Quiet
I recently bought my 996 Turbo S and saw a few posts by John on Rennlist. I sent him a message to simply inquire about the benefits of changing my stock exhaust to a Speedtech. John responded immediately and was both extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We spoke generally about upgrades and it was helpful that John had a TT and has invested in many upgrades. It was really a pleasure to speak to John and to ultimately do business with a small American fabrication company. I decided on the 2.5" quiet exhaust based on John's recommendations for my needs. I am very pleased with the new sound and openness that my Porsche now possesses. It is a very different car and much more throaty and responsive. My IPS installer said that he has installed several competitive exhausts ranging from $3K - $10K and that this exhaust was as well made as any he had seen, easy to install, and sounded great! I highly recommend Speedtech to anyone considering this upgrade. If you have any questions, John can assist you. During the decision and purchase process, John often responded to my messages well into the evening EST. Highly recommended!

996TT 2.5 "quiet" -
Having purchased and installed my 2.5" quiet system from John in May 2010, I could not be more satisfied with both the product and the service from John and company. On the sales side, John was patient in answering my apprehensive questions (having unfavorable 993 drone experiences with other aftermarket products). During my install, when a question arose, John returned my call on the weekend (how many vendors do that??).
The product receives unsolicited comments on its sound quality from even non-Porsche owners (the most recent just a few weeks back). The spooling whoosh is cool to hear, the WOT invigorating, and the butt-dyno gives two thumbs up as well (but not up the butt ).If you are on the fence about this product, pull the trigger and move forward; you will be sorry you waited so long...Thanks John !!

996TT 2.5 "quiet" - John, You guys have created one sweet-sweet sounding exhaust, my man. I mean sweet!!! Its about as close to a GT-3 as you could possibly get. And like you said - no drone. You can clearly hear the turbos when its not screaming at WOT. Either way - it sounds glorious. Thanks a bunch. It truly sounds better than I thought it would.
