Yeah - the fronts could be more aggressive. I’m debating whether to add 5mm spacers myself. Running 235/40 and 285/30 Conti ECS’.

More than "dirty" they were baked-in grimy to the point that they almost looked painted a charcoal color. So I didn't expect much when I bought some tough "industrial" style cleaner and grabbed a rough shop rag ...maybe I can just take off some of the nastiness. Wow. Just wow! Why in blazes did I live with that ugliness for so stupid-long (well the answer is simple green didn't do much to improve it so I figured that was that). Anyway, here is what I did today. I waxed it up, of course.
Oh, and I tried to capture the reflections to see the edges of the stoneguard:



Suffice it to say, I no longer need to consider replacing em any time soon!

I replace the old cracked black with new black because my 993 is black. I feel a little safer every I drive.

New Michelin Pilot Sport 2s, plus no-heat Fabspeed headers installed. They sound wonderful with the stock cat and Fister IIIs.

I gotta get my audio recorder and GoPro charged up and I can get a recording sometime next week. Had my first tunnel 2nd gear pull this morning and I am really happy with the ruckus.



Installation shot of the no-heat headers.

Fister IIIs, just freshly installed a couple of weeks ago. Coupled with the headers, the sound is just wonderful. Not sure that I need MORE sound for now, to be honest. There's always tomorrow, tho.

I am already eyeing the Fabspeed or Soul 200 cells.

Love it! Couple of questions: How did you get the insert out? Where did you get the new insert?
