Thanks I am thinking 2022 Late no ? Thats a short time away ....

 

The prospect of this move is disappointing to me. Why GPF vehicles that do not require it outside the EU? These cars are already sacrificing a sporty exhaust note due to turbocharging, the thought of further muzzling the sound bums me out. Is the only way to get a 992.2 C2S/C4S that sounds decent going to be aftermarket exhaust through Capristo/Akrapovic/etc.?

 

No, that would be an unusually early release. 2020 was the first model year. The 991.1 ran 2012.5 to 2016 inclusive. The first model year of the 991.2 was 2017. They haven't even announced the 992.1 Targa and GT3 yet.

 

It's about saving the world and climate. VW Group found a lot of religion here and us trying to compensate for its dieselgate sins.
Having a non-GPF PSE equipped 992 C4S, I can say that the cars sound significantly better than the 991.2 Carreras -- it's a big leap. No complaints, at all. It doesn't sound like a dishwasher. If you go with high flow cats, it will sound like a 991.2 GT2RS.

 

The quieter the better for me> I just want the car to go - it doesn't need to wake up the neighbours to make me happy.

 

How early can you put deposit down for a 992.2 ? Fall 2022 ?

 

Completely agree my 992 sounds infinitely better than 991.2 GTS (not that it was a bad sounding car). They've mastered the boxer 6 sound in the 992, I'm afraid to touch my exhaust with any high flow cats for fear of ruining the sound it has now. It's loud but not "look at me from 6 streets away" loud but more so, the rumble, the beat, the crackles, and pops on the overrun - all bang on.

 

Mid-engine option? Just kidding. But it would be awesome.

Also, get rid of all that plastic in the front and rear bumpers (and I don’t mean the current sport design option). Does not fit with a sports car at this price

Likely changes:

30 more HP
changes to rear grill and brake light
Continued gradual improvement in steering
New Headlights
New wheel options
New color options

Hybrid in some models

 

Yes, please. I don't loath the nubbin, but I predict that I will like nearly any design update to the shifter that Porsche could conceive for the .2.

 

I can understand that. I don't want to the car to be especially loud, I just want to here the 6-cylinder boxer doing it's thing as much as possible...within reason.

To that end, my hope is that the North American 992.2 doesn't get OPF'd so that the current sport exhaust sound can be preserved and continue. I'll likely be waiting for the 992.2, so any mods I would make to the exhaust would only be to make it sound as much like the current 992 as possible in the event that it gets muzzled by an OPF here in NA.

 

Yeah, I don't think it's so easy to just put an axle back and call it a day. You'd to remove the OPF and get a tune. That's not something I'd want to do. This may end up being one big advantage of the 992. The car sounds pretty good.

 

Same can you and I find out confirmed .2 dates we can go together to get a deal.

 

I'm going to apologize in advance, because I've read this message several times and I'm not quite sure what you are saying (sincerely). Are you saying that the OPF cannot be removed? If so, yes I agree, that's not going be a great option for the 992.2 if it does have an OPF in NA.

Also, what are you saying will end up being one big advantage of the 992?

Again, apologies for misunderstanding, I'm not intending to troll with my questions.

 

I'm pretty sure you'd need a cat-back exhaust to delete the OPF canister and a tune to prevent a CEL. It's definitely doable -- I just wouldn't want to tune a car under warranty.

If that's the case, then one advantage of the 992.1 would be good sound stock.

 

This describes me pretty well on this one, maybe Id do a middle of the way cat and an x pipe though, that likely would just give it an extra 35 percent tonal boost without messing too much with anything, granted not that it needs it, only car I've left stock off the bat for FOREVER.
