1986 - owner & founder, Joe Fabiani, purchased his first Porsche, a 1985 911 Carrera Cabriolet, and got involved with SCCA auto-x racing. This lead him to a few stints at Skip Barber racing school and eventually high performance track driving at Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, Lime Rock, Summit Point, and many more courses.
His first dedicated track car, a 1995 993 Carrera, went under the knife for a full RSR Clubsport conversion in 1994. When it came time to choose an exhaust, he was unsatisfied with the selection and quality of the aftermarket exhaust systems available at the time, so he set out to build one for himself.

Word quickly spread and his results at the track spoke for themselves. Other Porsche enthusiasts wanted a piece of the action, and so Joe took the plunge and decided to give up his brokerage desk for his own machine shop. Fabspeed was born.
2000 - Fabspeed goes digital; the first Fabspeed.com site launches
Fabspeed’s first dedicated shop in Ambler, PA began refining the sound and performance of Porsche exhaust systems - notably the 993 Turbo and 930 Turbo - but why stop there? A complete exhaust package was developed for the Ferrari 360, the Lamborghini Gallardo, and soon more supercars filled the shop.

Within a few years, business was booming. Joe had expanded the Fabspeed product line to include hundreds of different performance products for almost every model of Porsche. Within a few short years, that list would also include applications for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Bentley, McLaren, Aston Martin, and more.
