Hands down.... best mod (of MANY!) on my GT3 was the Shark Werks soundtrack... Hoping to one day liven up the hairdryer soundtrack!!

Haha am I ever And don't you worry about those hair dryers... The blow some mean air on the straights that's for sure! I seriously can't believe how fast they've gotten. I had two 996tt's back in the day.... Feels like to 100mph the new one is so much faster than anything else eh?

I'm ahead of you in years Alex so as a very young boy I was able to watch the show with RM in it, driving a Volvo of all things (omg!)..which was very trendy and cool back then and way before Volvo got the stigma it has nowadays. Pretty cool show though. Can't recall the guy driving the XJS... I think I must have lost interest like a lot of folks when they changed actors....and cars.
It does suit you actually! You're a good egg.... I'm pushing into the big 4 zero this year so I'm no spring chicken. The actor was about as good as the XJS- completely ****e basically

Behaving?... meh, highly over-rated!
Absolutely crazy straight line stuff from the TT! Just wish it sounded half as good as my GT3 with your stuff!!
My cornering G force fix has been taken over with a Formula Renault. Different animal but it's a ton of fun on the learning curve!!

Did this thread arrive at a consensus? And forgive me, I can't seem to figure out what an EP exhaust is? Thanks.

Exhausts are so variable, you can't ever reach a group consensus. Sound clips are marginally useful, but there are too many variables when recording. If at all possible try and hear it installed in person before buying.

Hi, the consensus I was looking for was how many owners are satisfied with their stock system to the point where they won't change it at all. Also, those that do intend changing what they had heard so far that really did it for them.

Agree AM systems are variable where it comes to exterior and interior volumes and, the actual sound produced. And it is those aspects that determine the difference between a good system and a brilliant system..

No, but I found this on 6:

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...st-info-2.html
I note Stef quotes more torque and refers to a change in shift points due to the gain and makes reference to back pressure being significantly lowered but in so far as official dyno gains I haven't seen it stated at this stage. That said from my past experience with his system on my 997tt the gains were clearly felt so I imagine it would be the same case with the new 991tt system.

Trigger pulled, I said you would be first to know! Now what's all this popping a fuse over being called "doc" doc? I've always called you that and never a problem so what gives now? Plus I asked what you preferred but you never replied.

PS. Sure hope you aren't like this with your patients....or is it just a bad day?

Yes I am a doctor, how I am with my patients is none of your f'ing business.
You can call me by my name, not doc. Got it?
Enjoy your aftermarket exhaust, I'm sure it will be fine.

As a fellow physician, I can tell you that physicians hate being called doc. I don't like it either.
