Will post pictures tomorrow of my M&K muffler/headers - heat delete I have been working on for over a month. Yes I am slow but so are the parts. I took it out for a test drive last night and I was impressed. I also had the car (thanks Darren) leaned out quite a bit.
What I had, based on conversations with knowledgeable Porsche parts experts and fabricators, was a custom built SS set up. There was, what appeared to me to be, B&B SSI and a two in one out muffler. It growled and popped and woke the neighbors....nice.
It also was making me more deaf with the windows down on the freeway. I thought I could simply order a Sport muffler from Brian and it would bolt right up....... Come to find out that the set up I had shifted the muffler over to one side.
Dual exhaust are cool but having the pipes not centered was simply unplanned. So off came the heat and I had Brian build me a set of his fabulous headers. I never use the heat in my car or the a/c. Living in Texas I can live with my hot rod not having either, but I'm keeping the a/c.
The sound is great certainly more quite then what I had. If I want louder I'll remove the baffled tips. The additional weight savings is about 40 lb maybe more. I haven't figured out the lower rear valence or even if I am going to run one. I bought one from Brian to cut up and try.
I do love being able to see the flat six in it's entirety when I open the hood...... having the blower removed is great. I bought the left side fan opening cover from Patrick Motorsports. It fit perfectly. The round hole in the engine bay floor that feeds the blower motor is plugged
with a custom piece.
Was able to do a bunch more cleaning this go around so the underside of the motor is more tidy.

Hi mate, did you have to do much with the suspension or roll/widen the guards to get that combo to fit? Am debating if I go 16 or 17 fifteen52 wheels.
Thanks

While I did refresh all of the suspension components I did my wheel measurements prior to them. There is zero rubbing and I did not have to roll the fenders/guards. These wheels were built to my specs and the et I have listed work great with the tires I listed.
Trunk mat finished today. I just couldn't get the diamond stitching to lay down.
This is a woven look embossed leather. I used a convertible top binding material
it doesn't bunch up like the binding I previously used. I also made a piece for the
right side of the Brake Booster to match the Rennline cover. Sort of finishes off
the back.
