Default Winding Road Magazine POV 997.2 GT3

Wanted to share a POV video Winding Road Magazine has made with my car!


I apologize for the squeaky brakes

^ That's just an RS 4.0 wheel. I had a similar wheel installed in my 2011 C2S. Definitely period correct and all you need is the steering wheel as the airbag fits both wheels.

RSS center bypass + EVOMS headers with test pipes.

I have just the RSS bypass installed on my GT3 and with the electrical connector unplugged so the valves are always open the car is LOUD (and sounds incredible). I can't imagine how loud this car is with the headers.

BTW, how do you like having the modern wheel in a 997? I am all for period correct, but I don't love the thin feeling of the current.

I am considering preserving the OEM wheel in an air tight bag, and getting a wheel setup like yours.

Can you send me the parts list, etc?

I love it! In fact it is similar to the 997 4.0 RS steering wheel, so it is kind of period correct. It provides a good contrast and feels great. Actually the steering wheel thickness is thinner than the regular GT3 wheel, so if you don't like the thin feel you gotta change generations

All you need is the steering wheel, everything else fits. Suncoast provides a wide array of selections!

It is a bit modified WantA997 is correct, I have the RSS X pipe centers + EvoMS Header + Test Pipes + Stock Sided Mufflers. Retaining the side mufflers will provide NO DRONE, and very quite when the valves are closed. I have tried numerous exhaust options such as Sharwerks, Tubi etc. I find the x pipe is a must to get the high pitch sound rather than a bark. The only downside you have is the TQ delivery is more smooth so you don't get the big punch in the mid range but pulls harder up top!

WantA997 reached out to me few weeks ago and he got the RSS X pipe rather than the Sharwerks system, and he loved it! Every system are similar, yet different.
