Houston We Have Got A Problem

Nothing major and zero emissions testing. Not like any local LEO would do anything about it if there was.

If this does not do the trick then I may do Fisters and piss off my neighborhood.

What was their reasoning for not installing yours?

Ca reg with not tampering with stock exhaust. Two of the shops have already had huge fines.

Not sure date wise what this refers to. I never had this problem before but I never went to crazy with my exhaust beyond cat back’s. This mid pipe was new territory for me but I was trying to get some actual str8 6 sound back from the vacuum cleaner S55.

Forgot to comment on the actual posts you made ... the new steering wheel looks really good, IMO it makes a HUGE difference.

With the exhaust I am interested how you like it when installed ... does your car have the sport exhaust option ?

I don't know if it's possible to include "Houston" and "problem" in the same paragraph in the United States without the connection being drawn. It has just seeped that far into American culture.

Surely we have all got something more meaningful to complain about?

I didn't think you were that new.

Thanks Alan!

Sadly my car does not have PSE, but if it did the Shark Werks center muffler delete, aka cross pipes would be the cherry on top. BTW, PSE can be retrofitted. $2500 plus labor for install.

True…


Ha! Approaching nineteen years this fall. I do take a hiatus every now and then. Life and various drama tend to get in the way occasionally.

Do you have any sound clips of 997’s with it installed?

Most of the ones on YT have PSE. There is one of a .2 base Carrera, but it is short. I will see if I can find it and report back.

Edit: Nevermind, I forgot this car has Fisters on it too. https://youtu.be/aNHIm1Oiol8

Edit 2: Here is a .2 C2S, but uncertain if it has PSE. https://youtu.be/RYjZaPJqy-Q

Not bad… It is the one that would make my neighbors really dislike me. Shark Werks plus Fisters.
