i would be very suspect of those. No heat sinks and price is almost to good to be true, at least for a high quality product. I bought the ones from Suncoast that project the “Porsche “ name. Installation was less than 5 minutes each side.

I bought her 45 minutes on the PIWIS to reprogram the wing for Sport Design ducktail.

Finally got my car in for its first year service. The local dealer wouldn’t take it two months early but I managed to get in one month early. As soon as I got home I added some goodies

Year? Model?

How much did he charge you? Was it the 10K oil change?

What are the goodies (specifically)?

For some reason, those photos threw me back to the FRG, circa 1976, changing the engine out in my '66 VW beetle. The '66 is one where the engine lid supposedly was designed by Porsche to look like the Führer--a hidden insult that only Ferdinand himself would dare.

Its a 2019 GTS, the first service is complimentary, it’s only an oil, filter and inspection.

This phase of mods = Vektor headers, Soul 200cel cats, Soul 4” slash cut tips and Akra CF diffuser. All the parts were top notch in quality. I also painted my back box black so I don’t have the shiny stainless popping behind the diffuser.

Car at sounds great now.

I was not disappointed with the sound, to be honest it surpassed my expectations and I am not sure I would want it any louder. The biggest surprise was the performance bonus! I wasn’t expecting to notice too much, however forget butt dyno the rear wheels are breaking away much easier than when stock. Not exactly what I wanted but proof that it’s punching out more torque and Bhp. Tuned cars must be quite entertaining..

The Akra CF diffuser is beautifully fabricated and fits well.



I opted for larger 4” slash cut tips from SOUL to better fill the openings in the diffuser.

Yesterday added a Max 360 with a blendmount and mirror tap. Also added a JL 10” powered sub box. With the Musicar tweeter upgrade I’m almost satisfied with the audio sound. Still need some sound deadening in the doors. I wish there was a plug and play speaker upgrade for the doors and rear. I hate the restrictions of the MOST platform. But on a positive note it has kept me from blowing a huge wad of cash on new system as I did in my ZR1.

Waiting on some leather dash upgrades from Exclusive Option. I have the CF chrono cover from DB Carbon waiting to install when I get the dash pieces.
