Cargraphic exhaust ? Which model/sound level?

It's the kit 6, but I've never bothered to measure the sound level. It sounds really great and exotic (not just loud for the sake of being loud like some other systems I've heard), but it's not very wife friendly and it's surely gets the attention of the law whenever full throttle gets applied. They have a kit 5 too which is an even louder version. If I do switch back, I know I'll miss its note so I'm waivering.

agree
car is great as a DD if leave it stock.
cargraphic exhaust, LWFW etc.. all harm the balance that it comes out with.

i have the cargrahic race exhaust but it was too loud.
ended up putting the stock centre section back on and left cargraphic headers.

Have an 04 GT3 that I bought in Fall 07 with 2100 miles on it. Was not supposed to be a DD; but is just too much fun to leave in the garage. Just rolled 35K miles and other than normal issues; it has not been costly to drive. Okay; I'm on my 4th spoiler lip - they are designed to tear off. Keep spares in the garage - cars are meant to be driven.

I guess the "go slow" won't be much better with an M3, no?

Did you have a normal carrera before?

Oh yeah, let me add that it wouldn't be for the daily commute. I use the train to go to work.
Is the nose lift option anywhere on the Porsche configurator? I couldn't find it.

Not yet available on the USA configurator. Apparently the first run of cars won't have it here.

I heard you will have to wait till September to see the nose lift to be on the option list.

I use it as DD and rotate with my other rides. My question is how many of you use 'PASM' & 'Sport' as DD? I am finding myself driving with these two buttons on all the time...

I use the sports button most of the times but it's rare that I touch the PASM.

I don't really know what my mechanic has done to attach the lip spoiler to the bumper, but I have accidentally hit the driveway entrance of parking lots a bit too hard and the lip has thankfully stayed on. So obviously there is a way to avoid ripping it off, depending how it is mounted. My GT3 has the stock ride height.
