If your buying for example a 40K-70K mile 2001-2004 than anything fairly reversible will have little or no impact on value as long as you reverse it before sale.

Might as well make it yours assuming you haven't bought what you think is a collector car you wouldn't want to put miles on anyway... Carplay radio, tune, exhaust, suspension, tint, wheels/tires and drive the wheels off of it!

By the way, congrat's! Your going to love it! What color/year/options?

I do have to pass smog here. Will the exhausts with the 200 cell cats not pass in Denver? Obviously the best bang for the buck mod out there is the tune but I do like a throaty exhaust. If I have to take it off to pass emissions tho, I won't bother with it tho.

All all-wheel-drive 911s 1989 and newer are exempt from the dyno rolling road smog testing in Colorado, so you only need to pass the visual and OBD plug-in test. They will never actually sniff your exhaust.

Will they notice and flag an aftermarket exhaust with or without cats on the visual? Not sure, might depend on the day, location, and technician.

Aftermarket exhaust are legal here, as long as they have cats. So as long as the readiness monitors are set, it should pass fine with an aftermarket exhaust. How much is a used Tubi exhaust worth?

Cool! I see you are already proving that yes, the kids can fit in the back seat... ;-)

Bring it to the Parker Cars & Coffee this Saturday?
