I took an aftermarket exhaust system that had blown apart over to our fabricator to have a new custom setup made out of it. New setup is going to be Turbo/Aftermarket Cats/Tips doing away with any cross over or muffler.

Just not sure if I am going to use standard or X50 Tips but we will see, the car is way to damn quiet right now for me. Just put the factory exhaust back on the shelf along with all the other factory parts.

I mean, you can't let this girl be so incredibly quiet! Also it will hide a bit of the gear chatter from the SRE clutch setup which isn't very bad.

if you dont have them handy? i found these from 911mike ( old 6spd thread ) to be invaluable in re-bleeding. i'm about to hit mine for the 2nd time in 4 years. it works, when all parts are still in working order.

i also used a 50/50 mix of stop leak and pentosin.

1. Open rear deck-lid with spoiler in down position
2. Put towels/plastic over the engine to keep fluids from dripping onto engine or body parts.
3. Remove approx. one dozen bolts that retain shroud/fan to deck-lid
4. Loosen and remove 4 retaining acorn style nuts that hold pump onto shroud
5. Cut tie wraps that retain electrical wires and hydralic lines so pump can be removed
6. Lift pump off shroud, loosen and remove banjo fittings on driver's side of pump watch for fluid to leak out and catch in a paper towel or rag. I held pump with channel locks for a good hold while loosening
7. Remove the positiive and negative wires on the opposite end of the pump.
8. Unplug sensors on passenger side ram carefully as they are sensitive. They are under a plastic cover that pulls off
9. Turn pump upside down in proper waste recepticle to empty the fluid remaining
10. With 12 volt power source, connect positive and negative to pump connectors. You will feel the torque and hear the pump motor turning, have a towel ready to catch any remaining fluids
11. With pump in hand, slowly add fluid. The Lucas product has a snout that you can cut and place into recpticle. This took approx. 20 minutes of adding, waiting for it to seep into pump, add more, wait, add more, etc...until bubbles stop coming up. Pump should then be full
12. Carefully attach banjo fittings with pump held upright. A small amount of fluid will seep when attaching banjo bolts
13. Torque the banjo bolts snug
14. Place pump onto shroud, tighten acorn nuts and connect wires
15. Connect sensors to ram (I used a tie wrap to hold sensors in place)
16. Place shroud in position on deck lid and snug up the dozen bolts
17. Tie wrap the electrical wires to the shroud
18. Actuate spoiler from dash with key on to see if you get the warning light

I have actuated my spoiler several times by button and driving and works great. Good luck!

Default What did you do to your 996TT today?

I replaced my rear rotors and pads. The rotors were shot but the pads still had some life left. The stock pads were marked brembo, but made by textar. I replaced them with textar pads and zimmerman coated rotors. The new rotors look great, but now i want to paint the fronts. I replaced my front pads a few weeks ago and the car stops as good as new.
