I too recently changed my exhaust for something a little less loud. It's so much better, and sounds amazing. I do miss the old sound a bit, but it gets old at times driving all day.

Would match up nicely with my rear end.

I bought a red Porsche flag off eBay as well. The real deal is too rich for my blood.

Smoke test just to make sure everything is tight. I do that and boost leak checks pretty frequently on any turbo car. No leaks. I recommend these cheap smoke testers on Amazon to anyone who doesn’t have one. Basically a paint can filled with mineral oil that you light on fire with a battery.

This looks like the one in your pic? Can you just use any mineral oil or do you have to use specific smoke test fluid?

Going to add it to my shopping cart now.

Thanks!
