Stainless, used from another reenlister and yes I'm sure the ECU is adjusting to the change. Quieter because only the headers were changed and the equal length smooths out the pulses.
Today just blended fuel for the weekend. Not quite today but starting late April and ending Wednesday IPD, CSF, BMC, SOUL cat deletes, BBi tune, Symposer delete, swapped out my Tubi Style for SOUL X pipe and the other day painted, clear bra'd (is that a word?) and installed 991.2 GT2/3 RS rocker moldings. Liked the sound of the Tubi with cats on but with cat deletes the backfires seemed harsh (ringy) to me. The workmanship on SOUL's cat deletes and their customer service impressed me so thought I'd give their X pipe a whirl. I really like the sound of this exhaust and for the money is a great value...more turbo whine, more snap (don't throw rocks but "more Italian"?) and generally 4-5db louder (using my trusty Radio Shack decibel meter) at idle in cold start and warmed both in sport mode (3db is about what the human ear discerns as a change in volume so not a ton). Also, according to my friends, this exhaust is quite a bit louder on the power if you happen to be driving next to me with your window down. The round exhaust tips are a fun look and a friend is going to 3D print some snap-in pieces for the lower outside and upper inside of the exhaust openings to make them oval. The rocker moldings are an acquired taste and at first I didn't like them as much as I thought I would. From some angles (especially the rear quartering view) the straight line detracted from the slender waist and organic lines of the car but they've grown on me. On the other hand they do protect the sides a bit... My city has insisted on watering one of the streets in my town on and off the last couple of weeks. Weekend before last I was forced to drive through about 3 feet of wet road and there was water on the leading edge of the rear fenders but the other day with the new rocker moldings there wasn't. That's all I've got for show and tell today. Have a great weekend!
Oh crap! Got to edit! Forgot to mention one of my favorite mods! The other day I installed the DSC controller and that thing ROCKS! Can a lowered 991 TTS running 21"s ride plush yet controlled? I think it can! On "Normal chassis" it's really a great ride. The DSC takes the harshness out of expansion joints and such without making it feel soft and on "Sport Chassis" it's really taught without making you grit your teeth. I'll do a little more in depth review when I get a chance to wring it out a bit!

Love the wheels! Can you post details about them and the tires? Most interested in wheel dimensions and tire models/specs front and rear. Thanks!

Thank you for the compliment! The wheels are Champion Motorsports RG5 with 245/30R21 Front and 305/25R21 rears. Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sports but as that tire is out of production I’ll be replacing these soon with the same size Michelin pilot 4S. I can’t remember the offset on the rims but Champion can hook you up.
