Always state that you were on a closed stretch of road, and it was an authorized run sanctioned by the local LEO's.
X-pipes are good stuff.

Dang it, now I am definitely going to have to X-Pipe the GTS. Just in case I happen upon a closed circuit with a professional driver between destinations.

Just a quick question RKD: How many other 928 's and 928 drivers are at the local PCA gathering? I rest my case.

Is a X-pipe a lot louder than stock exhaust?
