Neat Turbo S Modified @ SharkWerks

This really nicely optioned silver 2011 997.2 Turbo S came into us for a more sport sound upgrade in the form of the Tubi Exhaust as well as a 20mm ride height adjustment via the TechArt lowering spring kit.

In she comes for surgery...


Off comes the rear bumper, tail lights and heat shields:


And then the intercoolers:


Off comes the heavier and quieter/restrictive factory exhaust and cats:


On go the high-flow Tubi cats:


A shot of the complete exhaust system installed (along with a nice 18 pound weight saving):


Over to the rear suspension which is removed:


The TechArt lowering spring kit is installed and works in conjunction with the factory PASM shocks:


The "before" shot with stock ride height:


The "after" shot and lowered a further 20mm:


And ready to go home!

Great work, guys!

The Turbo S is certainly droolworthy in stock form, but even more so after you guys gets your hands on it.

What types of performance gains are you guys able to get a out of the Turbo S so far?

Thank you sir... it's a nicely optioned one too. A great daily driver We can get another 50hp or so from the EVOMSit software and then a bit less lag and 15-20 from the free flowing exhaust/cats. Not too shabby from bolt-ons and 91 octane...
