I did an alignment on the stock hardware before track day one and set soft sways front and hard rear. No understeer whatsoever. Loose in fact. Tires were wearing even. Temps 10 degrees F cooler on outside edge than middle and inner edge.

Default Fabspeed Valvetronic Exhaust for Sale. $2,500 incl shipping

Just got done spending 300 glorious miles with the Gt420 package.
Unfortunately, I live in a super quiet neighborhood and my wife gives me the stink eye when I get home with a smile on my face.
I need to sell the exhaust and put the PSE back on. I'm keeping my headers.
If anyone is interested in buying my Fabspeed Valvetronic please PM me.
Retail price on the Fabspeed site is $3,295.
I will part with it for $2,500 including free shipping.
Mine has the carbon fiber tips.

Here's a copy and paste description from the Fabspeed site.

Product Details:
Fabspeed's Valvetronic Exhaust System is the ultimate catback setup for the ultimate streetable track car.

SOUND: We're proud to offer a premium exhaust solution for the Porsche Cayman GT4. Our Valvetronic Exhaust offers two distinct tones depending on valve position: mild and wild. It was important to retain civility around town with valves closed, mission accomplished. You'll be able to enter your neighborhood after a midnight joyride without having to explain yourself at the next HOA meeting. Open the valves, and you'll be treated to a glorious roar befitting of the GT4. Burbles and backfires erupt in abundance, and downshifts summon a bark that will make all eyes and ears around focus on you. We're not exagerating. This system will put an ear-to-ear smile on the most miserly of faces.

POWER: When combined with Fabspeed's Race Headers, our Valvetronic Exhaust System allows you to push 375 whp out of your GT4! Even with Sport Headers coming in at 371 whp, the gains in power are as impressive as the sound. The Fabspeed exhaust suite completely eliminates the torque dip in the 3500 RPM range and offers power gains all the way through redline. The increase in low end power will make a great difference in street driveability with the long gearing of the GT4.

FINISH: Full polished T304L stainless steel, beautifully welded together and finished off with premium carbon fiber shrouded tips which fit the rear bumper of the GT4 like a finely tailored suit.

FEATURES:

Fits all Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 / 981 Boxster Spyder vehicles (2015+)
Choose between real matte Carbon Fiber tips or Single Wall Tips that are made in house for a racecar look
Weighs 7lbs less than the factory rear muffler system.
Constructed from 14-16ga T304L stainless steel tubing for maximum power and durability
Direct bolt-on installation; no cutting or welding required
All Fabspeed performance products are backed by the Fabspeed Lifetime Limited Warranty

God of Thunder! 5 Star Review
Posted by David on 28th Dec 2015

I recently installed the Fabspeed Race Headers and Valvetronic Exhaust System on my Porsche GT4...or should I say, I recently came face to face with The God of Thunder. For me, the sound of a car is nearly paramount in the car experience. The GT4 with this Fabspeed setup is better than anything I have ever heard. Even beats my favorites of a screaming Ferrari V12, the Lexus LFA, the Porsche Carrera GT, and the
C7 LeMans Corvette. I would take this over any of those...and I don't say that lightly.

The setup I chose is not for the faint of heart. 7500 rpms with open windows in a tunnel would make Zeus himself cower. Kudos to Fabspeed and Porsche for attaining automotive perfection."

Very happy to hear you have been thoroughly enjoying the system! Unfortunately i'm also sorry to hear the wife won over...you win some you lose some Best of luck with sale and be sure to post up in the classifieds if you haven't already, and if there is anything I can do to help take your driving experience up a notch please reach out any time. I always have a few ideas kicking around haha

Hey, thanks! I got the stripe from Carerra Decals, just as they were forced to shut down their website by Porsche's lawyers. Sympathy purchase I guess. Ties in nicely with my red stitching inside too. Had my window tinting guys install it and wing decals.

I stopped by the dealer today to check out the new Panamera Turbo (wow) but while I was there I made a deal on guards red interior trim including the console cover and gauge faces! 4 days for the covers and two weeks for the gauge faces!

If possible please post more info on the gauge faces...brand, cost, installation....I like the idea of doing the tach in Yellow (even if I have to buy the two gauge faces)

Suncoast Porsche sells the gauge faces, but they are made by FVD in Germany. There is a video online demonstrating the install and it doesn't look too difficult. I was at the dealer and they happened to have a dash apart so I looked at the cluster pod. There are some screws and some plastic clips holding the two halves together but no glue etc. Patience is the key as the pod is very expensive to replace.
