Hey, those cans look familiar!
Good to hear you're getting them finally. Just in time for a couple of feet of snow?

Ha. Got 8" last week, but thankfully they're gone. Saturday looks to be a nice day to spend some time under the car. Wound up doing the ceramic coating, so it took an extra week.

I had Fister stage 3's on my 993, and they were the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard on ANY Porsche, both from inside the cabin and outside. If I ever get a 997 again, installing the Fister exhaust will be the first thing I do.

Talked to Darin today and was told that I'm next on the waiting list for a non-S exhaust.

What's the consensus on the ceramic coating. Is radiated heat really an issue worthy of another $170??

I don't think there's a consensus. Heat, corrosion resistance AND it looks cool. Some do, some don't. So in the end I just said WTF. Don't try to make me second guess my decision!

But.....you don't see them unless you're underneath the car, do you?

No, you can actually see them if you look inside the fenders past the tires.

Stop with these rational arguments.

OH YEAH!

Put them on yesterday. From the threads I've read, easier than the 997.1. One easily accessible bracket and two bolts on the cat flange. Still a pain in the neck (literally) doing it on your back in the driveway.

Today, 300 m drive through the Catskills with a Rennlist contingent with most of the time spent between 5 & 6k rpm. We won't disclose the gear. Totally awesome. Also got positive comments from those subjected to the wail on the outside. Then on the highway - 3k rpm, radio on - can't tell that it's there. Perfect!
