If you're a fan of white (I've had 8 white Porsches so I am!) then check out this lovely optioned 2011 Turbo with the factory Aerokit came by for a sound improvement in the form of the Shark Werks exhaust. To keep things stealthy we retained the factory tips. Also on tap was the EVOMSit 91 octane performance tune for more power. We lowered the car with TechArt springs and added lighter Champion RS171 wheels:

In she comes with the big tail:


The aerokit lip is a bit more aggressive:


The interior is pretty trick with white stitching:



Off comes the bumper:


Factory exhaust:


On goes our exhaust:



No more vacuum sound:


Iron-man James putting things back together again:


The ECU getting tune with the EVOMSit tools for more power on 91octane:


Meanwhile it's off with the wheels


What we have here is a set of 19 inch Champion RS171 Monolite wheels waiting to be mounted:


Off comes the factory suspension to address the higher than desired ride height:


The TechArt Spring kit is installed and together with the factory PASM shocks it provides a very compliant ride with a 1-inch lowered height:


Like so!


Finally a set of TechArt side mirror trims are installed:


Ready to go home with more power, better sound, new shoes- what else could a 911 Turbo want?

Very, very nice , thanks for sharing !

Super nice. Love the wheels. Incredible job guys.

Hmmm... I don't get the theory behind the cross-pipes. Why not just run small pipes directly out the back from the cats and save some weight? Do the x-pipes actually muffle the sound?

dianic

There is a reason for a certain pipe length. Too short then back-pressure is shot to pieces. At least that is my understanding.

Yes the X pipe design has been proven to expel the exhaust gases quicker than a straight pipe.. Hence more power and quicker turbo spool..

Thanks for the kind words guys and the longer path/tubes give it a better sound vs straight out of the cat and do not add much back pressure. It was a good thing for power _and_ sound

Like the pic with friends...nice work as always!

Zeus993

Cool. The physics of airflow...

Thanks! Haven't heard from you in a while... you must be Porsche-less? In an F-car or Mclaren I bet!
Yes sir

It sounds like this:

Very nice car. Wheels look good !

About the exhaust , still kept factory sound but louder. Proper 1D radius X pipe that actually links left/right is the soloution to make it sound a lot better, not just loud. The term of back pressure really has nothing to do with short lenght pipes. The real achievement with an exhaust is to create proper vaccum inside, but that s a diffrent story

Beautiful job Alex!

OMG...That was the best sounding turbo....ever. Expect a call from me Alex. Great work! Do you have the same exhaust for the 997.1?
