Let me know your experience with the longtubes if you get them! I would love to hear some before/after sound clips.
I've only heard my car once from the outside, but didnt notice anything sounding out of place from the outside through the rev range. Luckily the only time I spend in my 2-3k range is the first few mins of the drive as I wait for the car to warm up, no need going under 3k after that as all the power is over 3k.

Congrats on the Porsche, I also got my first one this summer, and would have gone for Guards Red if I'd found the right one too!

Congrats! Such a cool spec too. You so rarely see the painted seat backs. Enjoy it!

I ended up going with satin black for the wheels and vents to match the LED spars and I couldn’t be happier.

I also swapped out the all the interior lights for LEDs. So much better now and feels a little more modern. Has anyone had any luck replacing the license plate lights with LEDs?
