Great Color matching Tim,

They look like P1 with Memory foam too??

How do you find your Roma?? They are a bit tail happy and playful?

@STALKER99 Yes Maritime Blue

@Condor Man Yes P1 Memory Foam. Roma very comfy and fast, I have not tracked it to comment on actual performance, mainly just driving around town. More roomy than 911. Trunk can swallow a big luggage which none of 911 can do.

Got around to installing the inserts.
Overall think it turned out well with the car’s interior/exterior combination. It brightens the interior which is what I was looking for.

The memory foam definitely changes how you sit in the car, not sure if I like it yet but the inserts should mould further to my body with some seat time. I will reserve judgment till after that happens.

They look great and also I feel that they are more comfortable than the OEM leather which felt flat to me. Having stated this, I have only driving short distances with the new seats.

I am taking my for a 55 Mile drive tomorrow for its new GMG Titanium exhaust.... So I will let you know what I think of an actual long drive in the seats.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on both items.

I find that the seats are far more supportive than the stock leather seats. So that is a tick.

And now the car is officially uncorked. I ended up going with the titanium GMG Centre delete valved exhaust. The sound is quite a bit louder however definitely not obnoxious or droney.

I could not go back to the stock exhaust. Also the Titanium saves a heap of weight, the car is more free revving and therefore it not only sounds better, it actually feels faster!

I honestly couldn’t believe how different and muted the Speedster sounds compared to my stock 992 GT3 Touring. I think that this has something to do with the roof system sitting on top of the engine.

Here are some photos from today.

Congrats on the exhaust.
Did GMG adopt the 992 GT3 exhaust for the Speedster for the valves, they initially were not going to do a valved version. They made that statement on another exhaust thread on RL. Personally I would want to retain the valves. The 992 GT3 is def much louder, a good friend of mine owns both a Touring and a Speedie like you yourself. Nice combo BTW.

Any drone with the exhaust?


P1 inserts with memory foam def have much more lower back support.

Yes you can see the valve section on the exhaust.

The sound is overall just louder across the whole range. Just feels like it has been uncorked.

There is no noticeable drone like you would get in a turbo Porsche when you put an exhaust on it.

I still think the 991.1 or 991.2 GT3 sound much cleaner and pure. That OPF has a lot to answer for!!

Sorry, I didn't see another Speedster thread and I would thought I would ask. I am about to pull the trigger on one, and wanted to ask: what options are necessary and what modifications would you recommend...it looks like inserts are number 1.

Honestly, the Speedster is one car you have to do nothing. It’s really making it personal to you and what you like, and you can’t go wrong with and adds. The beauty of this thread it’s only one, and all the owners are cool no ADM stuff, no how should you drive you car. Congrats on the soon to be add just enjoy it. For me I wanted three things full leather, PTS and bucket seats very comfortable to me and it sets off the car.
