Sam,
It is nice that the tide appears to be changing from waiting for our cars and being upset with PAG/PCNA to actually enjoying and admiring these amazing automobiles...glad we have turned that corner! Enjoy and have a great, safe weekend.

I wonder if it will pass the 90-92dB at Laguna Seca?

LOL! No way. A 981 boxster with sport exhaust doesn't pass.

Thanks for posting the vid, Sam. Sounds fantastic!

Great vid Sam, thanks! From your comment it sounds like your screens are installed. Maybe I missed it but have you posted a pic of them? Would love to have something to show my service department to validate that US cars are actually getting them, in case they give me any chit about it.

Question/s - How much louder and different does the car sound with the Cargraphic added? In other words; I am going to just get the Bypass. Is it close t what you just displayed w/o the Cargraphc addition?
Thank you for your kind words. The difference, while noticeable, is small. Stock exhaust is already sublime and with the SW, it's really all you need. I just wanted "louder".

Thanks. Audiotechnica. Lesser quality than yours and it's a bit of a pain as it requires a battery. Its main advantages are the small size and the very long cord.

I knew this was gonna happen and in a few more months, there will be less naysayers and the 997 GT3 RS prices will drop, a lot.

Not yet, Mike. I was talking about the stock screens in front of the radiators. They won't give you any flack because the campaign is already in the system. They just cannot order the screens (back of radiators), as PAG will send them automatically but as has been the case, the timing is anyone's guess!

Default Almost done breaking in.

Note total mileage on car. Trip counter underneath shows mileage since new engine (528). Past 50 miles drove up to 8,000 RPM. The beast is truely unleashing and the "push" you get with upshifting does not happen until after 8,000 RPM. About 50 more miles with RPM to 8,500 then she's ready. Sorry, Mike, I failed to succumb to good peer pressure or continue to exercise self restraint. I do give myself credit, though, as it took me 150-200 miles more this time around.

Hi guys:

Have now a little more than 1000 mls on the clock.

Tried yesterday the first time to reach 9 k rpm. I stopped a few hundred rpm shy of it - it sounds so mad - so angry that i personally find it tought to go all the way to the red line! Incredible - it needs to get used to it - at least for me as an mechancial enigneer who always has sympathy for the mechanical stuff ....

Noise wise this enigne is monster and goes like hell

Peter
