Default New around these parts….

Hey all,

Im a longtime porsche owner and usually hang on "The Other" forum but ventured over here due to the wealth of knowledge from enthusiasts. I picked up a speed yellow 996 last night and figured I'd make an introduction.

Planning a simple tune (EPL) and exhaust (Tubi). Thats about it. (we'll see how long that lasts)

Located in Northern, NJ.

Before you buy a tune, try Kevin at UMW. he is on here all the time. Has exhaust and tune, and great to work with and has lots of knowledge! Check out this thread!

Congrats on your new 996!

Have you considered any Fabspeed products at all? We make some impressive piping for the 996. I just did a Highlight on our 996 Sport Cat / Cat Bypass X-Pipe and Maxflo Exhaust System.

Feel free to email me or PM me for more information or pricing!

The car is really clean: All OEM paint (verified with meter), 6 speed, deviated yellow stitching, yellow seat belts, etc. My man Phil at Detailers Domain picked it up today for the full treatment. After that comes the tune and exhaust.
Truth be told, I also own a 997.2 Turbo S. I have always wanted a 996 and decided to jump on this one. =)

Oh…trailer is a 2014, 17 foot Featherlite. This was my first time towing a vehicle with her. The combo of V10 TDI touareg and Featherlite trailer is unreal.
