I'm new to speedonline and wanted to ask if anyone has modified there 993 Turbo with TechArt Exhaust, 200 cell cats, PSS9, lower with wheel spacers (using original wheels) and rolling the fenders?

If so, any problems? How does the Exhaust sound? I'm considering keeping the original mufflers and modifying in lieu of replacing with TechArt.

Got a 993TT with the TechArt exhaust. But I'm a newbie so I can't compare against stock. However, the local crew (and dealership) dig the TechArt sound.

Thanks for the welcome and the information. I'll post on Renn Tech boards. I don't have any pictures yet, just bought the car and it's on its way from Houston TX. It should arrive approx one week from tomorrow, I can't wait. I'm having a hard time sleeping and working...I've been looking for this specific Turbo S for about five years know, unfortunately, I always passed because I thought the prices would come down, man was I wrong, they just keep going up and up, so I finally bit the bullet and paid through the nose for this one.

I'll post pictures as soon as I receive the Porsche.

Thanks. Yep, I'm up every night comforting myself with this board and Rennlist. Just heard from Ray over at RPM, and the car was picked up late last night and should be here by Wed or Thur, I'll post pictures as soon as I wash it and throw a coat of wax.

You're correct about the 993 being perfect, however, given this is my second 993, the PSS9, in my opinion, is a must and the exhaust is just way too quite for me.

However, I have been on the fence with making any modifications that I can not reverse, give that it is a Turbo S with such low mileage, but then on the other hand, I do want to enjoy the car and drive it (only on the weekends of course) and with the PSS9, lowering, widen the stance with spacers and exhaust, it just seems to handle so much better than the stock and it looks awesome too.
