Thanks guys,

The plates will be replaced very very soon with some slick black customised numbers....

Options include the Sport Chrono and Home Link...oh and tiptronic s.... I believe the rest of the car is stock with the exception of what I mentioned in the first post... at least here in Oz, the cars come with PCM, Bose, electric seats, sunroof, PASM, xenon headlights...

@jhbrennan - I chose the EP1 on Stef's advice because it's a tiptronic

@sanchezdds - Having just finished my research you will need to do your own, because best is relative... best price? best workmanship? best sound? best flexibility? You need to work out what you want from the exhaust, what type of sound you are comfortable with (and then go and listen to those systems), whether it will be a track car or street car or both.... and then of course how much you want to pay... I chose EP1 because of it's very high reputation, the quality and performance of the catalytic converter, the solid fully welded construction and the OEM finish.... Stef who posted in this thread is the manufacturer so contact him for more info...

@Stef - thanks for making my exhaust and setting it on it's way... I can't wait! How many do you have you shipped to Australia now???

Just spent the day at the track and all I can say is WOW!!! So much fun... the car is so rewarding... The car communicates so well... lift off the accelerator or dab on a bit of brake and the car turns in beautifully... floor it and the turbos launch you into the next corner and the PSM gets you through making you look like a track day hero.... what a blast... thanks Porsche!

Interestingly, I noticed during the drive home afterwards, that the car was a lot peppier... seemed more responsive and the turbo whistle was more noticeable... I noticed the black soot was gone from the tail pipes... any chance that a good flogging on the track cleared out the cats or something and freed things up or is it all in my head??

Alvin I think we share some friends in common.... Nick T (GTR) and Ee Win K (F430)... I'll post my thoughts, but I'm sure if you read all the other reviews you'll pull the trigger anyway like I did....

Its a small world... whilst the photo did scare me, it did convince the wife that it was compatible with a family....
