997.2 BBI Exhaust still available? Or do I just get EP
#16
Not sure but it seems OP has a 997.2 for which the EP1 and EP2 are not options. There is just one option for the .2 and it is AWESOME! I have had it on my car for over a year and have had no drone. Really good instructions and support from Stef. You get everything in the box to DIY.

OP doesn't have a Turbo. OP was going to buy a beautiful Black/Black 997.2 6MT as a post deployment present to himself but the seller sold it just when I was about to put down a deposit. Kind of sad since the internet was shut down for our whole ship so I had no way to contact the outside world for a few days.
So now I have a BBI exhaust lined up, for a car I don't own yet.
Any of you fine gentlemen know anyone selling a lovely 6MT 997.2 Black, Red, or Blue Turbo to make a certain young Marine helicopter pilot that much more excited to get back stateside in a few months?

I'd just bite the bullet and buy that car after trying to knock the price down as much as poss. Future classic being a manual as Porsche will never build a manual turbo again. You'll get the extra money you forked out and more come resale

But yes I love that car. Basalt Black and CL's with every option imaginable...also I would be scared to drive it really. If I got a Turbo I would be driving the crap out of it and keeping it pristine cosmetically, resale maybe but more want to enjoy the hand of god giving me a shove when I drop into third.
The search continues!
Also heard a Speedtech 3in catless exhaust...they sound brutal. Might be the way I go if I can find power claims with that + IPD and UMW tune.

I bought my E39 M5 with 80k miles and sold it with 130k miles. German Engineering is nothing to scoff at. If more 40k mile Turbos were appropriately priced I would have one waiting for me already.
Luckily winter is coming and prices "should" start to drop slightly

Its funny in my 07 I have now covered 82,000 miles from new. The other 09 cab has covered only 20,000 from new. The difference in condition isn't as big as you'd imagine between our two 997s. Sure there are a few more stone chips on the 82,000 mile car but other than that its held up remarkably well. No interior rattles on my coupe either.
