I do not have one, but others here have bought the ones off ebay and they said they look and work fine.

Just think, for about half the cost you could get a silver gas cap!

about any aftermarket exhaust will do it. I have iPE and LOVE it.

A lot of 991 owners have gone with Soul Performance and if you search this forum you can information on all that are available, and there are countless sound clips online to get an idea of what they sound like on your type of car.

(And, yes - I'm one who fell for the feel-goods and bought one.) I actually caved on this "upgrade" when I had my Cayman 981... it was one of the few parts that I pulled off when I sold the Cayman and installed on my 911. The struggle is real, but I can't deny that it does make me smile when I fill up the tank.

We all drink a little koolaid here and there. The key for me is being self-aware of when I do it.
Well, if you think about it, we bought the WHOLE CAR to make us smile...so that means the gas cap upgrade is just as functional as the launch control 😂😂😂...well maybe not quite, but in the same building hahaha

how was the fitment of your IPE?

I’m leaning heavily toward that system...love the titanium inconel sound and the weight savings

but IPE isn’t the mainstream choice here...I’m cool with going off the beaten path for a really good result though.

Default Bought the rest of the rear

Badge

the 911 Turbo S part from Titanium Works

they have the PORSCHE logo on their website but not the 911 Turbo S bit

turns out the guys their own their own TTS and have a lot of Titanium parts available that aren’t on their main website...call to ask for stuff kinda deal lol


Doesn’t work on a lot of colors but with my blue it looks kinda trick...on gloss black cars it looks amazing in my opinion.

It isn't mainstream here.... but it gets the most questions and compliments at every event, including GT3's. Fitment was perfect - bolted right up and needed no "muscle" to "make" it fit... call Wheels boutique, they sell a ton of them. The construction is better than the mainstream American products by a lot and the sound is actually very special. I prefer the sound to Akropovic even and there is no drone with the valves closed. Just a little with it open

Along the stupid things like a gas cap, I added carbon fiber rear deck hinges. They save, wait for it, 2lbs!!!!!
They also cost about as much as the factory silver plastic gas cap.

And I keep teaching my son: “Almost is never enough.”

And yeah...for me that IPE is the best sounding exhaust out there bar none, and the weight savings are great...I was only worried about the fitment but if it fits well then I’m sold...do you have their headers too?
