This thread may be a good primer for info on the conversion.

Jaime, I've asked the mods to delete ALL thread and posts you have made regarding a 996 Turbo so as to protect my wallet from total disposal

I'll get interior photos up this weekend when I have her home and cleaned up

I'll post a few the previous owner sent me here in a sec.

**updated....here's one. As you can see Natural Grey is basically black**

BAWAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest, I am going to take it slow with this one. Especially with the race car already having sucked every last red cent out of the account.

Versus stock, X73 is noticeably stiffer with regard to ride quality (it's a "harder" ride), but all handling aspects of the car are improved. The car is also better planted at higher speed.

Jeff, can you get me some more info on the "exhaust mod"?

Went with the X73 over the PSS10 for a couple reasons. PSS10 are more "soft" than the X73 and I'll take this car to the track from time to time. The other MAJOR reason for me was it is a factory system that was tuned for this car.

As far as cost. Suncoast is selling the kit for ~$2500.

Dell
for the exhaust mod all you have to do is drill a hole on the muffler. Just place the drill into the exhaust tip and proceed to open the hole. I attached the other pics so you can see how the TT exhaust looks inside. There is no need to remove the exhaust from the car
