That is the set up. Every 964 should have it!

Also just received new Recaro Pole Position Seats, and will be getting them re-upholstered for an "RS like" interior.
And will be adding Yellow Seat Belts to match my door pulls and 12 o clock mark on the Momo steering wheel.
Car feels dialed right now!
Your interior mods will take things to the next level.

I hear you. I haven't heard a 964 with GT3 muffler in person, but from the videos I've heard, I don't feel the urge to rush out and do it. Especially given how nice a 964 can sound with a few bypassed mufflers.

Primary bypass sounds great (like you have), but adding a cat bypass really does take the sound to the next level. Not much louder at all, but definitely a more mechanical sound.

Do you have a drilled airbox?

But only if I follow through with my GT3 muffler conversion.

I don't feel so bad now. I've had my front ducts and middle section sitting in my home office waiting to be painted. Haha. I have the primary and secondary and yeah it's loud. Thankfully my neighbors tolerate me since I drive it mainly on the weekends and usually back in the garage no later than 9:30pm on a weeknight

I was going to ask on your IG post. So i'll ask here which camera did you use? I'm looking at a GoPro fusion but it seems bulky. I prefer smaller form factor for ease of packing.

Yeah, I've also been considering a 200 cel sport cat with the primary delete. we'll see.
No drilled airbox, but I have the EVO Cold Air Intake Tube that uses a K&N cone filter.
Went this route for the sound, and ease of replacing filters...

Haha, get those things painted!!
I use the Rylo 360 camera.
Much easier workflow compared to the GoPro.
Single SD card in the Rylo, so you don't have to navigate merging files.
And you can hook it straight to your phone, edit on your phone, then post.
It's slick.

Hahah I know right! Every time I want to do it something else "preventative" wise comes up. i.e. Short shift kit or some maintenance item....buy a classic they says....it'll be fun they says....LOL

Thanks for the insight on the camera. I'll definitely look into it!

Alright, so I have a big batch of changes coming in the next few weeks:

  • Recaro Pole Position Seats, ABE, Black Leather with/custom inserts
  • Yellow Seat Belts
  • Rennline Universal Extinguisher mount w/ Element Fire Mounts
  • FVD 200 Cell Sport Cat
  • Steve Wong cat/muf bypass 91 oct chip (sport cat)
  • RSA Front Console Cubby (spoiler switch panel delete)
Decided since I would have the seats out to replace with the Recaro, I mind as well get the Steve Wong chip since I'll have access to the ECU.
And since I'd be buying the Steve Wong chip, I mind as well get the cat bypass version, and get a sport cat - which I had been thinking about anyways.
Should have everything installed by Sept. 27th.
Then I leave for a road trip to WI/MN Oct. 4th.
And then to the Ozarks in late October.

"Since I would have the seats out...." ahhh the slippery slope lol

Those are some sweet mods you are adding. I have a Steve Wong chip that I'm waiting to install, you guessed it, when I put my sport seats in. And I only got the chip because I have a cat bypass that came with the car, so I might as well put that on too haha.

Haha, quite slippery.
Put that chip in now!
The seats shouldn't be too much trouble to take in and out.

I've been dying to put it in, just need to find the time as seats are being stored right now. Probably early fall I'll be able to get around to it.

Alright, big update.
Just got back from the first annual Overcrest Rally in Minnesota/Wisconsin.
That was a great time.
Right before that trip, I installed my new seats, FVD 200 cell sport cat and Steve Wong chip.
I honestly didn't notice too much power increase with those changes, but the idle is way better.
And the car sounds perfect right now.

Today is my car's birthday, so there's that.
Here are some photos from the trip and the new seats.

I put over 5,500 miles on the car in the month of October.
Wrapped the month up with a drive to Bentonville Arkansas to bike, and participate in the first annual Drive OZ Rally.
Car was great per usual.
After the Overcrest Rally in early October, I decided to adjust the Recaro seats a little bit.
Putting them in the lowest rear bracket setting.
Effectively putting them lower, and increase the rake.
Everything feels dialed right now.
For those who saw on Instagram, I didn't have a functioning drivers window the whole month...
But that is now fixed too, thanks to a new, straight, regulator.
Over the Winter, I won't be doing that much driving.
But getting the rear interior shelf upholstered on the top to remove the speaker and belt holes.
Also deleting the passenger airbag, and getting the Rennline lower dash delete, and wrapping it in the Tan vinyl to match the rest of my new interior parts.
Next major trip will probably be to Luft 7 in May 2020.
But also planning a 2 week epic bike/car trip to Glacier National, Sun Valley, PNW, Whistler, Banff in August 2020.

With all the time you have put into your 964 I am not surprised that it’s “dialed”. I’m looking forward to seeing the winter upgrades!

So much goodness here!
I love mixing the 964 experience with bikes. Looks like Bentonville is doing a lot of things right. Town and trials.
Nice that you are keeping the interior tan.
I need to get rid of my old roof rack, and get a sea sucker...
