Thanks to Sharkwerks!

I just had my H&R Sway bars and new Mufflers installed by Sharkwerks! The car sounds and feels great and I'd like to extend my thanks to Alex, James, and Dan for doing such a great job!

The H&R sway bars were really the missing piece of the suspension, and the car feels even more planted now (hard to believe)! They work wonderfully with the Bilstein Damptronics, and definitely smooth out the turns and keep the car flat through those hard turns.

The shop looks clean (with some nice monster 997TT's being worked on), as always, and it was fun passing by again. Once again, thanks for doing great work guys!

I bought a set of used Fabspeed mufflers from another 6speeder. They are slightly louder than stock, not very much (kind of what I was looking for).

I was initially going to get muffler bypass pipes, but backed off since I found these for such a good deal. Ideally, the sound of the Tubi exhaust (with F77 kit) or the factory PSE would have best for me, since I looking for something that screams when pushed, but is muted with regular driving.

I feel that the Fabspeeds are a notch below what I was looking for, but the price was really good

Hey Charles, cheers for the kind words and glad it worked out for you Your car has come a LONG way! It's no "stocker" that's for sure, the RuF bumper really isn't something you see every day....

Head over to Tony's to get a good alignment (that will help!). The sways really help with smoothening the transitions and we usually pair those up.

Thanks Alex. I'll be setting up an appointment soon! I can already feel a difference. Once it's dialed in right, it will be even better! Thanks again for the great work!

Ben! How ya been bro?! How's the new wing?

Definitely feel you on getting the PSE. That was my original choice, but I figured I'd tinker around with these mufflers first since I kind of bumped into them and coincidentally had an appointment with Alex for the sways.

PSE sounds awesome and is ideally what I'm looking for. I'm still reading up on it for the 997. From what I understand, it uses the "sport" button as the on/off switch, but some 6speeders were able to create a separate button for it. An x51 airbox wouldn't be bad either, which is what I have planned next I'll continue to search through the "For sale" section here.

Once I get a few more "mods" done and have the suspension adjusted, I'll take some more pics. Abdullah (Cayenne KSA), above, has a very nice interior in his 997 and has inspired me to start modding in that area. I'll keep you guys posted on the new "upgrades".

I'm selling a PSE that I've had for a little while... make an offer and let's work something out. It's in the for sale section.
