A few questions if anyone can help... I have put the rear wing to the max aero setting, easy job, I am told that there are also some front plastic covers to remove as part of this process, can anyone confirm where these are?

Finally, I am going to fit a centre bypass, can this be down without bumper removal?



Beautiful: Is that Miami Blue?
As to the center bypass, yes it can be replaced without bumper removal. I did it with my .1RS. Well, technically my friend who is a Porsche tech did it while I watched.

I think I stimulated a little debate......interesting hearing members thought processes and at the same time getting the benefit of our experienced members.

Wouldn't Porsche warranty cover the OEM exhaust?

These front plastic covers are under the front air vents! (plastic nets)

not if you modified the exhaust. From what I understand, the stock system will EVENTUALLY blow out the center titanium muffler...after thousands of miles of high RPM(track) usage.
But when you replace the stock headers/cats with long tube race headers that FLOW much more, the center will blow out much faster.
I blew out 2...

I received a quote for painting calipers $375 labor and ~ $600 to paint (~ $1000) with a 3 day turnaround time. Sounds a little high.......

Thanks.....

also, to add to the header discussion just spoke with the sales manager of my dealership and they are installing Sharkwerks center muffler deletes for customers and that does not affect the warranty.

Yes they do cover it but it can and will happen again if driven hard. When mine blew up there was a hole in it big enough I could put my fist through it. It had also melted the engine wiring harness and a bunch of other stuff. It was a mess!!

Looks great in MB..Out of interest. why have you increased the rear wing angle?
There are small plastic flaps on the GT4 in front of the front wheel arches which you remove to restore balance to the downforce. I have a new GT3 and AFAIK there aren't any flaps to remove although i'm unsure on this.The RS has front wheel arches louvres which does a far better job than removing these flaps .A word of warning however..! These flaps serve a purpose in preventing the front tyres on shooting a pebble towards the front rads..If they exist on your RS, i would leave them in place to avoid such damage occurring..
But then again i see it rather pointless in increasing the wing angle as it produces more than enough downforce in its default setting......All IMMHO of course.

Another option are the FVD Brombacher (valved) side muffler deletes that can be coupled with their straight thru center delete. I installed (non-valved) side deletes on my .1 GT3 and was very impressed at bang for buck.
They also have a 200 cel cat with side bypass equivalent to the Dundon system you quoted above at $5,500. I'm not trying to start a debate about the quality of one system vs another here just posting options to consider.
