The OEM tips also look pretty good to me.

The only phrase that comes to mind is that we are "***** deep" in the R&D process of aftermarket performance parts for the Porsche 991 Turbo. We have completed the exhaust system with high flow catalytic converters and thought we would do a sneak peak sound clip. The exhaust system, as described here in our previous article, will be tested on the dyno as well as reviewed for driving characteristics on the road. The exhaust will be tested in stages as muffler with factory cats, OEM muffler with high flow cats, and muffler with high flow cats. In addition to the exhaust, we also have tubular manifolds in the works and several turbo/intake components.


One of the new parts we are working on is the "charge" pipe or Y-Pipe that goes into the throttlebody. We have been very successful in the past with Y-Pipes on the Panamera Turbo, 996 Turbo, and 997.2 Turbo gaining proven horsepower on the dyno and quicker turbo spool for normal driving characteristics. The amount of air flow you can get into the throttlebody is more important (IMO) than what happens after the throttlebody. The increased airflow simply yields more power and performance. On the 991 Turbo, the factory pipe from the intercoolers to the throttlebody is 2inch diameter and then merges fairly early. To improve upon this design, we have increased the diameter of the piping to 2.5inch and maintained separate pipes as close to the throttlebody as we could to eliminate any unecessary turbulence. The piping is designed to still work with the factory airbox and maybe (insert Dr. Evil pinky face) a new cold air intake. Stepping up our Agency Power game is this nice CNC machined AP logo brace in the center. Of course non of this is important unless it makes power and improves driveability so stay tuned for those tests!

991 Turbo Header Design

So excited to see how things are coming along on our Porsche 991 Turbo here at Vivid Racing. Taking things 1 step at a time, we have been developing some nice products that really show off what the Agency Power brand can do. With individual product testing schedule for this week, our last product is a set of 3 into 1 header manifolds that the 991 TT does need. Unlike the 996 and 997 Turbo, these headers just dont look like a great design. With a clam shell stamped design, the flow looks like it could be greatly improved. That is why they call it R&D though! So our fab team here at Vivid Racing has come up with these beautiful tubular stainless steel headers. The schedule 10 304 stainless steel headers feature 3/8" thick flanges that have been water jet cut to perfection. The header tube diameter has been slightly increased and with a well designed merge collector, the 991 Turbos should be spooling up a lot faster. Stay tuned for test results and view all our Project 991 Turbo pictures here.

Been driving with the full exhaust system and high flow cats with our headers now for a week. The turbos spool up so fast and the power is noticeable on the butt dyno. There really is not any drone which is nice especially since without Sport Mode on, the car will run in 7th gear at 1700rpm at 40mph!

Been playing with some other carbon fiber stuff here. Here is a first article carbon fiber exhaust surrounds. Thoughts?

I would hope for a full carbon diffuser... on the Turbo S the pipes are dark and the carbon fiber gets lost (small piece)

+1! A full carbon diffuser would be the way to go!

Got 2 updates to share... 1 is here having to do with a OBD2 flash - https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-new-post.html

The other is with the roll bar. We had built this bolt-in harness/roll bar for the 991 Carrera back in September 2013 (Read Here) gambling that like the 997 and 996, fitment would be the same for the Carrera and Turbo. Well, we were right So we did a test fit of the production bar unpowdercoated in our 991 Turbo. The bar was designed to be in sections for easy install with or without removing the seats. For prototype reasons, we took the seats out since this was the first fit in the 991 Turbo. So stay tuned as we have a nice white one coming for our car!







Here it is in the 991 Carrera finished
