Default WOW...What a difference

Got my TT back today after it took a brief mini vacation with Yurii at Polar Porsche. I must say...I fell in love with this car all over again and what a difference in sound and performance!

Added a Klein Exhaust, K&N Filter, and an incredible performance tune from the Top Gear boys in the UK.

This thing sounds fierce and lets out a throaty scream when you tramp it down. Just left a cocky kid in a souped up Cobra standing still at a light trying to figure out just what happened there!

P.S. This post is not meant to once again wage the exhaust/ tune war or my pecker is bigger than yours. Just wanted to share the joy I am getting from my new found love.

Peace to all my Porsche Brothers no matter what exhaust you choose!

I am in the same boat! Just completed the exhaust on my car (E46 M3) and the change of character is beyond description! It's like driving a different car, I am as exited to drive it now as I was the day I brought it back!

Dirk. Sounds great! Would love to hear a sound clip if you get a chance! 200 cell or 100 cell cats on your exhaust?

I'll post 2 sound clips on Tuesday. Right now it has the 200 cell cats but my cat bypasses get here Monday so I will let you hear it both ways.

It is one of the more interesting exhaust sounds I've heard. Quite tame when idling but when you tramp on it it sounds like you have unleashed the hounds of hell! Really an amazing race like sound!

Would love to hear this. I'm in love with my bbi exhaust. Sounds like it could blast off into outter space. So curious how these others sound.

Glad you are enjoying it!

It's crazy how something as simple as changing up the factory exhaust to something a little more free flowing with make you feel like you have a completely new car. Enjoy the "new" Turbo Dirk!
