I purchased the beginning of this a 997S with the FB X-51 upgrades and my car passed the California smog check with flying colors. Love the car!

Andre/this Sunday should work
Andre, yes it was your car, and I sent you a PM...Sunday afternoon should work. Would be very interesting to drive our respective cars back to back and possibly do a couple of rolling start side by side runs. I know a quiet stretch of highway or two it might work assuming no other cars around.

If you are the expert in the field this should be no problem for you. For the second time, I have a question. Just because there are two different part numbers for the exhaust valve doesnt necessarily mean the exhaust valve is larger for the X51 but only different in some way. So for the second time, in order for you to assert that the exhaust valve for the X51 is larger, what are the dimensions (diameter) of both exhaust valves? Showing there are two different part numbers may be enough to convince others here but it does not prove to me that the X51 has a larger exhaust valve.

"A parts kit is available for increasing the performance of the standard engine.
Increased performance is achieved by implementing the following measures on the engine:
- new cylinder heads with flow-optimized intake and exhaust ports;
- exhaust ports and exhaust valves with larger cross-section and stronger exhaust valve springs;
- new exhaust manifolds with larger cross-section and optimized flow behavior;
- new intake manifolds with modified cross·section (material: aluminum sand cast);
- new throttle housing (referred to below as electronic throttle adjuster) with larger cross-section (previously: 76 mm diameter; new: 82 mm diameter);
- new air cleaner housing made of carbon with two intake channels;
- modified maps for the DME control module;
- increased engine rpm.
Certain modifications are also required and the following preconditions must be met on the vehicle side:
- sports exhaust system including chrome-plated tailpipes;
- new underbody cover in the rear area;
- additional radiator together with an additional air inlet in the front apron - not for vehicles with Tiptronic transmission (I No. 249)."
