I'll only believe i't's broken if if I see something in writing. Too many rumors and opinions on break in. This would be a great relief if true. Hopefully they did it as an extra precaution just in case some character wanted to drive it at 9k out of the lot..

 

All Cat A owners (ESP in the US--as it seems the break in suggestions from PAG are somehow more strict in the US...), please report back with info on break in from your dealers when you get your cars back...

...that is, if you remember, since you'll likely be driving non stop once the cars are back!

 

There is no campaign for that in the US, at least not yet. The fact that Porsche has issued a campaign in the ROW would make replacing a radiator under warranty in the US a straight forward process, if it gets damaged by a rock.

 

Campaign in other markets is WE21. Nothing in US as of yet, but just for your future reference.

 

I have the bypass and if sport exhaust is off, it dosen't sound too dissimilar from stock. With PSE on, it makes a nicely noticeable difference from 3,000-6 or 7,000 RPM. After 7,000 I don't think there is much of a discernible (there might be, I just can't tell) difference and the stock sound in that zone is phenomenal already. Below 3,000, the baffles are closed and while the bypass lowers the exhaust tone, it is still similar sounding to a regular Carrera. That is why I had my mechanic cap off the vacuum line to the sort exhaust so it is now on all the time. That, together with the Cargraphic low flow (200 cell cats) manifolds, the car sounds incredible. Revving it at the dealership last pm made me not sleep last night. Stupid stickers.

 

Thanks. I was going to have a jerry rig with honeycomb steel wire until then but decided to wait.

 

Will do. Hopefully SOON. Car was sent to RI 3 weeks ago.. Time flying It's June 22. Should be CLOSE. I might order the Sharkwerks and have it sent to dealer so they can install when car comes back. -- Save another trip (Or. maybe it's back and waiting for stickers. . HaHa.. ). Hear they aren't suppose to call you till it's ready do drive away??

-- BTW.. I'll be thrilled if I can officially do 9k rpm after 100 miles.. Had car for 1,000 mi in Jan and never hit over 7k..

 

Sam, your engine already replaced and back to the dealer?

If so, what dates did Porsche initial estimate for your engine replacement and back to the dealer?

 

Yes, it arrived Saturday. Initial estimate, if I recall correctly, was first week of July.

 

I picked up my car in Santa Barbara since I got number 1 on the list. But San Diego is my shop. I just lucky, well I guess ;-) getting the first shipment in the US.

I am going to call Sharkwerks tomorrow. I would love it to be a little louder.

 

Can you post a clip so we can hear this car?

 

Jimmy I agree. What sginsburg saw should be good enough for all of us. Plus I am supposed to get my car tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I am planning to ask the question and confirm to all of you what I was told. Mark

 

Thanks, Mark!

 

Congratulations Sam. So your car is all done and just waiting for the stickers like mine?
Again congratulations bro. Mark

 

If they're not putting screens over the radiators, with as sticky as the sport cups are, there will be a rash of radiator leaks.

Mine was trashed when I pulled it out to fix the actual leak. It should have had 10 holes after looking at it close.

Dissapointing news after all this, but not surprising. Wait and see how many track days are now ruined from radiator issues...
