No, have driven the car since but have not had a chance to use launch control. Will try with full kickdown.

Great choice..... I have had my 2011 997.2 Turbos S car for about 1 year.... VERY happy with it!!!

Just now pondering an exhaust system....Soul maybe???

Needsdecaf

Thanks, your car looks pretty menacing.

As for exhaust, Europipe seems to be the most preferred exhaust setup. But you've got to change the cats as part of that system, so that adds cost. I'm wondering if a well made x-pipe like Soul or Fabspeed would sound pretty good at half the cost. The Sharkwerks bypass doesn't look so appealing to me. No resonators and no x-pipe leads me wondering about drone.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who's done a rear muffler bypass only and left the stock cats. I have driven two cars with sport cats and full muffler deletes and they DRONED terribly.

Europipe Brother!!

Thanks....as you might expect I gt the "Menacing" thingy all the time!!! I will investigate the Europipe......Thanks!!! Bill

Duntov

Thanks....I will look at the Europipe approach for sure..... VERY lucky to have a great third party shop here in Scottsdale that does both Soul and Europipe ....will get with them for some ideas. Usually, I am a "stock-nut" but as many on this site have observed the Turbo S cars generate about as much nose as a Singer sewing machine...even at speed!!!!

Duntov

Hmmmm.... just looked up the Europipe set up for a 997.2 Turbo-S car (like mine) .... Not really that much more than Soul....

Thanks again for the tip...

If you were thinking full system, then I'd definitely do the Europipe.

Sound clips for you from my old 997.2TTS

OK, I got it to work. Needed to quickly push into the kick down switch. Man, I lit up the tires!

Question for everyone: does your car move around a bit when the turbo kicks in? I feel like mine pulls to the right a bit. This is when I’m getting on it hard.

Big Swole

With "cold" tires under hard acceleration you will get "some" movement due to slippage and before the AWD system realizes it needs more up front.

Under launch, you will definitely get "spin" on "cold" tires also. Especially on the street.

What I've noticed, especially now owning one, is the 997.2 LC isn't as "smooth" and the 991's are. The PDK clutch actuation seems a bit more abrupt in the 997.2 Generation. Mine did that as well.

Porsche figured out how to improve the 0-60 times buy refining the PDK. Don't get me wrong, the 997.2's are amazing and quick, you'll just get a little more spin unless you're on a track..

The Sharkwerks with stock cats has zero drone, it sounds great!

I have SpeedTech 3" race system, x-pipe, with cat bypass - no drone.

I second this as I have the same. The exhaust is loud, but in the cabin under normal load no drama. Can barely hear it.

Thanks. I’ve no interest in removing the cats though.
