Aside from all of the epic things going on in-house on a normal basis, this week was special particularly because a gorgeous 991.2 rolled in first thing on Monday morning.
Wasting no time, it was granted a lift and tear down commenced. We were eager to get acquainted with Porsche's newest Carrera, and we dove right in.
Its intercoolers, intake, and exhaust were thoroughly evaluated and scanned.
Next up is a non-PSE equipped Carrera S for further evaluation, and then its off to the races in giving the new 991.2 our signature treatment.
I'll be keeping a running tab on our development progress so be sure to subscribe and check back for updates.

The Options
SwitchPath™ Exhaust
Our most intricately-designed Porsche application to date, the AWE Tuning SwitchPath™ Exhaust for PSE-equipped 991.2 Carreras provides the perfect sophisticated soundtrack fit for the .2.
Comprised of an integrated x-pipe, balance tube, factory-matched valved and non-valved inlets, and two straight-through mufflers designed specifically for Porsche’s new turbo-powered Carrera, the SwitchPath™ Exhaust proves to be the all-around solution while retaining factory PSE operation.
SwitchPath™ magic
The SwitchPath™ Exhaust will respond to your driving style. Around town cruising is sophisticated and refined. Thanks to the 0.65” wall T304L stainless steel, and the integrated x-pipe and balance bar, the SwitchPath™ Exhaust provides a consistent, deep and refined exotic tone, even with the valves closed.
Once the ECU registers an elevated RPM and opens the valves, the tone produced from the SwitchPath™ ratchets up, increased turbo sound and feedback from downshifts included. And due to there being zero acoustical packing material within the mufflers, the soundtrack emitted from the SwitchPath™ Exhaust will not change over time.
Spool on.
