Good deal. You should feel the engine being more controlled in corners and especially over longer undulating bumps.

it has been raining cats and dogs here in Texas so I am waiting for dry weather to see how it corners. Definitely a nice upgrade to my car.

Yep, but I'm done, for now at least ... out of space - truck is outside all the time now.

The Cayenne is the one that has the cargraphic sport muffler I purchased from you installed on it. Combined with the Fabspeed secondary cat bypass pipes, and the HHR CAI, the sound is perfect - enough bark to match the bite, and helped optimize the Fabspeed Stage 2 tune I'm running.

I did just buy the undeveloped lot next door though, with the plan to at some point put up a 6 car garage with man-cave area upstairs. Still want an '89 speedster and a 993TT or 993 RUF car, plus both kids are within 5 years of driving age, so am going to need a place to put theirs too - thinking Macan S for the daughter and a 968 cab for the son, or more likely, he'll take my current Sierra c3 and also drive the 914 some.

I have the RS engine mount upgrade from RennPart.com, (I used the URO option), which increased the NVH just a little in my 2011 GTS with PDK. I also had the orange Function First transmission mount installed. A little more NVH but the handling is terrific and long trips are just fine.

BTW, RennPart is terrific! Just put Rennlist in the discount section and save 10%. RS engine mounts:

I'm running the WEVO SS mounts and the function first trans mounts. There is more vibration and noise but I find that appealing. It feels like everything is firm and the way it should be.
Call Functions First and they'll help you pick the right mounts for your desired usage.
