Stared at it for a good 15 minutes this morning trying to determine if selling it (along with my S550) for a 991 will be something that I will regret.

You should get her a seat like this so she can see out:

My little Maltese loves it and he goes everywhere with me. They have the "vintage" model on sale - http://animalsmatter.com/collections...rhino-car-seat - which is a way better deal.

Dropped it off at Porsche Bellevue to have the OEM iPod connector added (997.2 with PCM). This is birthday gift from the wife. The reality is she needs music and can't deal riding it with radio or old-old CDs as only options. I can't believe the original owner or the Porsche rep who optioned the car did not check this box.

I would rather had spent the money on a Sharkworks Center Exhaust and Fister D mufflers and simply turned the radio off. But a thoughtful gift is not something or say no to, especially one from the missus.

Exhaust will be this winter project.

How is the sound? I have the Fisters and really like it but want just a bit more "bark". Thinking of Sharkwerks center delete. Any rough idle? Drone? Also on what year car if you don't mind me asking ...

Can you post a pic of it installed in your 911?

That'd be cool. I'd like to see that. Our dog is only 30 lb, which is a runt by Wheaton standards, but she's long of body...T

Well, I had the Fisters installed simultaneously with the SW center bypass, so I'm not sure what either sounds like *alone*. But together it's got amazing bark, especially on cold start. At 2-3k rpm it has a higher pitch than I would expect. This being my first exhaust mod I really don't know if you would call this "drone". It's something to get used to, but I don't think it's a "bad" sound. Overall I'm happy with it, and if I ever want to reverse it it's readily doable.

I've got a 2010 C4S cab. I have a video clip but not sure how to upload it here -- trimmed it to 28 seconds but it still fails to upload every time...

Had some 3M Crystalline tints fitted (legal 30% here). Mainly to keep some heat out of the cabin

Started de-Canucking my car: Figured out how to turn off the DRL's and to get the digital temperature readout in the dash and on the HVAC to read in Fahrenheit.
