This really nicely optioned silver 2011 997.2 Turbo S came into us for a more sport sound upgrade in the form of the Tubi Exhaust as well as a 20mm ride height adjustment via the TechArt lowering spring kit.

In she comes for surgery...


Off comes the rear bumper, tail lights and heat shields:


And then the intercoolers:


Off comes the heavier and quieter/restrictive factory exhaust and cats:


On go the high-flow Tubi cats:


A shot of the complete exhaust system installed (along with a nice 18 pound weight saving):


Over to the rear suspension which is removed:


The TechArt lowering spring kit is installed and works in conjunction with the factory PASM shocks:


The "before" shot with stock ride height:


The "after" shot and lowered a further 20mm:


And ready to go home!

Turbo S with ceramics = sweetness

Whats the world coming to when one has to take an akropovic exhaust off ur car!

Sweet looking ride.

You'd think that after dropping a freaking buck fifty on a pcar that you'd be 'set'.

But, noooooooooo....

I thought the Akropovic came on the GT2RS, it comes on the turbo s too?

This thing should be as fast to 60 as a Veyron now right?

Did they get a flash too?

Nice....still debating ride height here. Have painted lowers all around too, and scrape a few places as is. But don't want to add the lift kit. Damn.

C'mon Alex, tell me what to do.

Stupid sick. Nastilly beautiful. Just made up a new word.

Eric. You. Know. What. To. Do.

I didn't flash it, not sure if I'm going to as the new exhaust pretty much takes care of the power delivery issues. The turbos spin up much quicker, makes for a much more linear experience.

It's not an Akra exhaust and not titanium, but looks a lot like it

I know they are working on it, but I think flashing it would also benefit from revised pdk software for optimal power delivery.

Finally, not sure I can slip may more upgrades - it's been to Marty for audio, premier for coating and Alex for above - by my wife without her demanding a new SUV

The misses wants a Cayenne Hybrid so she can save the earth.

Me I have been back in forth on the subject of getting a turbo s for far too long. Finally strengthened my resolve to wait for a 991 when it comes out then updating to a turbo in a few years.

Almost pulled a SuperQuant the other weekend with the S. But cooler heads prevailed.
