So I changed ipd intake / gt3 TB , Kline manifolds w hjs 200 cel cats and Cobb AP so the combo of the 3 makes a big difference on throttle response and mid range

Nice!!! So you feel it in the midrange, not top end? I feel like the top is so flat?

Have a Dyno chart?

So do you find that both wind deflectors are equally effective and just change for aesthetics? Or does one perform better (less buffeting at speed, etc.)?

Question for those who have put on the GT4 style side scoops- can you do it without drilling holes????

Is the car much louder? Not interested in more noise but def interested in more power!

I don't think much louder when you have the exhaust flaps closed but it's noticeably louder w them open

And for the windstop the plexi glass more buffeting w windows down than mesh

open debate.. there are a few on here who have done the install without.. go back into the thread to see who that was as I forgot and ask them their experience thus far. My bodyshop (and Porsche) recommend securing them as they get strongly deflected from wind resistance, and without the holes you're just using the plastic inserts to hold them in place.

do your research and then decide.

Default red center stripes

after seeing this 911R with the red stripes, i'm in love. This pushes me to finally add the KI Studio double center stripe stickers and the lettering on the sides like this car has... gonna get to work this weekend.

The 911R has to be the coolest car on planet earth !!
And I'm not even a massive 911 fan (if I can say that here...)

But 911R plus 981 Spyder would be my perfect garage
