My 997.2 Turbo Project

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the Guys at Barrier Motors and the Guys at GMG racing for the great work that they did on my car the last couple of weeks. As you guys know I have a 2010 PDK turbo and I had to make a few modifications to get it just right for me. We started with Painting the Center locks Black with the stock rim color. But after looking at them I realized I wanted them all black so we took them off again and painted them Satan Black. But then those grey center caps did not look very good. So Jeff from Barrier said that the new 2010 GT3 RS had Black Center Caps. He ordered a set of those and they match perfectly. The ride height was a little high for my liking so I wanted to get it back to ROW ride height, H&R makes many of the springs for Porsche so that seemed like a natural choice. So the wheels are right, the ride height is right and there was just one more thing I was not fond of, The exhaust. Jeff said the Fabryce and the guys at GMG racing made a really nice Exhaust for the 09 TT. But when we called they had not fabricated one yet. So we took my exhaust including CAT’s and sent it down to GMG. What they sent back is a thing of Art and frankly I hated to reinstall the rear bumper cover. Sounds great under load, great at Idle and no droneing. Love my car. THANK YOU GUYS

But no fair! Where are the pix of the GMG exhaust? The finished car? Sound clips?
C'mon man! Feed the hungry!

Edit: Thanks for adding the other pix. That's just breathtaking.
Good choice, Great taste. Well done!
One wish remaining: Sound clip of the GMG exhaust.

The GMG exhaust hooks up to the OEM cats?

GMG makes CAT's as well, Just thought since it was new I would stay with Stock CAT's at least for a while!

I see.
Do you know if when you change 'em out, whenever you're ready that is, you'll get more power/sound?

I suspect but Fabryce from GMG would be the guy to ask.

You should consider changing the cats to 200 or 100 cell units (100 cell may require reprogramming the ECU.) Stock OEM cats are 600 cells units, which dramatically impede flow and increase IAT's.

Your flat black wheels look great, BTW.
