Hey guys, can anyone recommend a place to remove the opf in SoCal? Preferably in East LA or San Gabriel area. Thanks

Funny, you don't strike me as the type of owner that would do this. In full disclosure, I'm NOT doing this either. Car sounds great as-is.

Interesting... I did the full Fabspeed GT420 package on my 981 Spyder.

I haven't touched the 992 TTS because I'm probably trading it back to the dealer when the Touring arrives and didn't want to have any issues, as they can't CPO the car if it was tuned.

Good to know the car sounds great, though

For the ones who removed the OPF in US/Canada, did a CEL light come on?

Car sounds wonderful. Reminds me the sound of 991.1 GT3!

No CEL. This is a must.

I'll try to remember to get a cold start video soon. But as we all know an iphone video of an exhaust seldom gives you the true sound.

just did the opf delete yesterday and went for a drive this morning…amazing! The cold start was not that different tbh. You really notice it as you get going in the lower RPMs and obviously as you lean into it. I’m most surprised by the added throttle response and potential power bump. Maybe in my head but the butt dyno never lies, hah. I feel like this is a must do mod, especially ppl w aftermarket exhausts.

Did you just chip the substrate out of the housing or did you replace the exhaust etc?

OPF removal + valve controller is a magical combo

Is it safe to go to any exhaust shop for OPF delete?
