One of you Houston 996TT owners (and close by out-of-towners), buy yourselves a new TT for Christmas and sell me yours!! An unashamed bump, sorry!

Newb question here, does that exhaust make a significant improvement to HP/Torque or is more of a sound thing to give it a heartier rumble?

996TTs, thanks for posting the car availability on here, I'd be very interested in your car for sure if I could stretch that far fund-wise. My budget is looking like I should be able to pick up a low mileage 2002, CPO hopefully.

TX Gold... tell me more about this Porsche murder in Memorial. I have not heard of it.

Boss351... the TexchArt Exhaust system that I have should add about 15-20 hp as well as giving the car a pure Porsche sound and a very hungry rumble. There is a clip on YouTube with "Techart Straight Pipes." This sound is very similar to mine.

Well, I got my car!! 2003 Turbo X50, Slate Grey as can be seen here!!

It awesome! Was very well kept, passed PPI with flying colours and is now parked in my garage for the night while I study up on some of the manuals (it has plenty of aftermarket audio equipment).

Cheers to all on here that have steered me towards useful contacts etc!

Beautiful car! I had that same color when I had my 996 TT.

I changed the wheels for black ones...it looked hot.

Bring your car by the event this weekend.
