Here’s a photo of the Lloyd Designs rear carpeted shelf mat with black piping and white deviated stitching for anybody that’s considering it. It's very well made and looks great in the car. It’s too bad Lloyd lost the Porsche licensing. I would’ve loved to have had “PORSCHE” embroidered on the mat.

I should have one today and will post.... I wish IB forum code had better notification section than a PM when tagged. Bimmerpost is so advanced in this regard as one will know when their post was liked, quoted, or replied to in the top left vs here where we have to search our prior posts or threads or check a tag in the PM box ...

Not the best clip as it was shot by techs via an Iphone and the revs are limited (3500 max) but it gives some idea... I hate exhaust videos because they just never capture the true sound.

200 cell cats
TFL Italy Rear Section (Tubi founder spinoff company)
Open Valves all the time (M Engineering)

The car really screams at 5k plus but has that lower end grunt that I wanted that was not prevalent with the OEM restricted 700 cats and huge PSE rear section. Ill get some WOT vids up soon

impressive, thanks. Not bad for an iPhone clip. Any drone at cruising? I assume you also needed the M-Engineering to get rid of CEL with the 200 cats?

Drone is highly subjective as I personally like a bit of engine noise. There is some at low gear cruising around 70'ish but nothing that isnt unpleasant but again highly subjective.

I did code out the CEL but I didnt get any pre coding so its more of an insurance process.

I think in the clip I may have hit 5500 rpm tops ... much left to go In stock format the car is really tame until about 5k, now its all grouchy and angry from 2k on and I still can shut the valves to take the sound down.

Your car sounds and looks fantastic. It's pretty much exactly how I'd option and modify a GTS if I ordered one. Only thing I might suggest is throwing on the GT3 side skirts (looks great without them, but a minor inexpensive touch to add a little more presence in person).

So on my car the side skirts are painted to the car color, So the GT3 ones are in black and would replace mine?

Yes, that’s right. I like how it ties together with the front lip.

I really like your car how it is. The GT3 side skirts look odd on the non-GT 911’s IMHO. The lines of the SD side skirts coincide with the lines of the SD front lip just like the GT3 side skirts coincide with the lines of the front/rear bumpers.

I think you are mirroring my thoughts although I love suggestions and welcome the members opinions here.

Do side skirts actually add any performance value (downforce, etc) or am I to assume that they are just something cosmetic?
