I'll be there with equiraptor and and a few of the guys from my office. It'd be great if you can make it. Still showing only 75% full.

Default I am hoping I can make it. My knee is injured but hopefully it will be healed in the

next couple of days. Guess that PDK could have helped me out!

I know hearing 12+ HP out of an intake system may seem a little high but this is exactly what type of tuning we do and we have gotten this much HP and more from our intake on the 997 TT and our new Air intake for the 997.1. We do numerous testing on these cars with many different designs for the air intake and we found one that works and makes a power increase through the entire rpm range. Remember that engine is just a large air pump, so the more air you can allow or force into the motor, the happier it is and it performs stronger and more efficiently.

My days-old 997.2S has been modded. I added clear side markers and silver crested valve caps (all OEM parts). I am done with mods. Why mess around with perfection?

Won't those clear markers void your warranty?

No. They are OEM parts installed by the dealer.

Next time buy an Orange car so you won't have to change them.
