The owner of this Black on Black 2005 996 Turbo S cabriolet came in for a SharkWerks Stage II performance kit, including the Europipe Stage II exhaust system, the EVOMSit software and Billet Diverter Valves. The owner wanted something that flowed well, had a great sound but _no_ resonance. That's actually a hard combination to achieve. For wheels he went with the HRE P40 Monoblok in sating black.

In comes your classic black on black 05 Turbo S Cab...


There's the stock exhaust shot...


The shipping... that's where it starts with these Belgians. They're no longer known for Chocolate but 996TT exhausts as well. There's even some custom European tools for your trouble:P


Off with the stock exhaust:


We went with the larger diameter Stage II set up as the Turbo S uses K24 turbos:


Nice welds eh?



There she goes... if you look she's got the factory style bellows on there too (not seen this on any other set up). The other thing is that in California where emissions are pretty darned strict she almost looks like a stock unit...



Notice the larger dual tips as well:



The car was also in for some EVOMS diverter valves, bosch plugs and the EVOMSit software calibrated for 91 octane:


The 19 inch HRE P40 Monoblok wheels mounted with new Michelin Pilot Sport rubber:


There she is pepped up and ready to go home

 

I got to get me a few of those customers.. Coming in twice for mods..

LOL...

 

Thought I'd seen this thread before. Now what you REALLY need that customer to do instead of getting the same mods done just 6 months later.......get them to lower that monster truck ride height setting.

 

Hehe yeah but he did come back to the HRE's and the GT610 which is on going I shoulda waited to post till he was finished but it looks great with the HRE's.... At least you stock those Europipe's

Jezzir it came back for more so those things are on the horizon

 

Nice pics Alex. Just saw the Battle of the Supercars episode last week with your creation. NICE JOB!

 

Thanks slant911 that was a lot of fun For those that haven't seen it the entire show is available online via hulu here

seriously...is it AWD or 4WD

 

That Europipe is a work of art. Amazing workmanship.

 

Did Stef change the cat design on the 996tt systems, seems much 'fatter' now, ? heat shields
d I guess. Yes, EP is a work of freakin art!

 

Chris, the design hasn't change. 130mm 100 cell cats wrapped in a seperate enclosure with a resonator prior to the main mufflers. Internally you have 3 tuned resonance tubes with common center mixing chamber.

The 997TT version sports massive CAT's...

 

I have had the Europipe II and Kevin's programming from day 1 on my TTS and it just hummmmmms...

 

I have a different take... Although the EP Q2 is a nice piece, and those wheels are nice, I would spend my money elsewhere and more wisely.

I appreciate that Mike has tested all the exhaust systems for me in advance

 

Dell, F' you... You still owe me a beer...

And you're welcome, Dell.

See you next month, Dell...

Bastard.
