Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I hope to make a run on the Dragon sometime this fall while the Pcar is in western NC.

Tim, what's your driving impression going from a 996C4S to a 'real' porsche, just wondering bc I'm doing the same. I test drove a silver 993tt for my brother recently, amazing car, made my C4S feel like a cadillac.

Chris:

More raw, rough etc. Drives like a banshee compared to the C4S. Still feels "heavy" like the C4S but turns in real nice. Lots of noise and feedback from the car. It is a bit un-nerving at first.

Mine needs more noise though Has BB exhaust but I think I want bypass pipes

Tim,

Waldo has a B&B exhaust, and it was way too quiet for my taste. I went with muffler bypasses and love them. There is lots of different opinions on this, with some people saying they drone. While mine never did, see if there is some way you can try before you buy... its a really simple installation, even for a doofus like me.

Another one I looked at had them and they were great. I will have my local shop make me a pair and integrate the big slant cut tips so it looks better

Gotta watch that getting into a Grove; no fun at all. (-%
