FYI - I had a brief e-mail exchange with Charles. He is willing to do another group buy if people are interested. We need 5 people to hit the first level of tiered discount. I am down for one, so if there are 4 more out there we can get the discount.

Keep emailing him - he got shut down by RL unless he coughed up sponsorship money
He may do that but until he does he likely will not respond here

Well, I was finally able to go get my car from NolaSport in NO after it's major service. They also installed my new exhaust from Charles as well.

Absolutely Awesome!!!!! Sounds absolutely amazing! I have only driven the car for about 3 hours since I picked it up and 6 different people have commented on how good the car sounds. A neighbor from the next street over(yikes!) walked over to find out what that beautiful sound was. Note to self, keep revs below 4k when driving through the neighborhood....

Anyway, what can I say. The installer was very impressed with the craftsmanship as well as the power gains. We also combined the exhaust with an FVD tune. It softened the mid a tiny bit but man is it a demon up top (butt dyno). Whew! Very happy with the purchase!!!

I am lined up for a track day on the 29th so will try to post a sound clip after that.

Funny you bring up Tor. I went with Tor to purchase his GT3, really nice car. In fact it was in my garage for a few days. He is really happy with the car. I also helped him install a roll bar, seats, and harnesses as well. He didn't waste any time getting it to the track.

Ops....

Last but not least, we also had 85Gold's 996GT3 with RPW side muffler delete kit, 997 Headers and center muffler, and our cup carbon kevlar bumper, with bumperette delete.

Numbers were shocking !!!



No base for comparison

To day the least I was floored by the #'s is putting it mildly. If we hadn't had the 7.2RS on the Dyno before and after I would have questioned the #'s.

The 1st pull was 388rwhp and the 2nd pull was 392rwhp. That is one strong 6.2GT3 with 50k miles.

Well, the exhaust with the tune has really added to the extra snap the car had at the track. Recieved guite a few compliments about the sweet sound that bellows from the exhaust. BUT, unfortunately I experienced some tranny issues that ended my day very early. The car is back at NolaSport for evaluation but it looks like some tranny servicing is in my future. Silver lining is I probably will do some re-gearing on 3rd,4th, & 5th gear for better track work and keep 6th gear stock for economy when driving to and fro the track.

Without derailing this thread, I feel compelled to give some credit and thanks to the NolaSport guys here in New Orleans. Nolasport is a local Porsche specialist shop in New Orleans that is the shop that installed my exhaust recently and also performed a very big service on my car as well. They bring a trailer and huge tent set up to all of the local track days at the local Track here in NO. They offer track support to their customers and any other Porsche folks should they need any help with checking tire pressures, rotating tires, torqueing lug nuts, etc. etc..

As I mentioned before on the 4th lap of the day i experienced a problem with my car on the track. After pulling into the pits, the Nolasport guys immediately jumped on my car without me asking trying to evaluate the problem. Once diagnosed, John the owner offered for me to follow him to his shop where I would leave my car there for further servicing and he handed me the keys to a very nice Porsche Cayenne for me to take home which is 2 hours away. I can't tell you how thankful I am for this gesture and have to say that these guys are a class act. Nolasport has earned themselves a long term customer, that is for sure.

OK, back to the thread. So who is getting there exhaust next?
