As it is a rare occasion to find someone that has done this is such detail, could you describe in a bit more detail the improvement in performance/drivability and the sound? I know you touched on this a bit already, but the more information the better for the community and we would love some more feedback to share on our product page

Once Mr Winter releases his grip on the South East I will take the car out for some testing and feedback. Itching to get it on the road

I think Ubermench was referring to the dip on my dyno chart below 2,000 rpm in sacrifice for an improved, very smooth mid range. I don't see the same <2,000 RPM dip on your dyno charts?

But seriously the other benefit of the PCCB's is the reduced brake dust which I personally find of value. ![Embarrassment](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)
Very cool, looking forward to getting the weights of the standard brakes
[/QUOTE]
Afshin, I could not agree more regarding the brake dust. PCCB's are incredible here. My Turbo S wheels were almost always immaculate.

Your post mod dyno runs probably weren't given the full beans that early on or the dyno data wasn't capturing properly when he first hit the gas on the dyno. I wouldn't read into the dip that low, I've never felt it on my car of any others I drove.

I too wonder about that dip although from a slightly different perspective. Many have complained that the DFI tuning from the factory seems to cause occasional hesitation in the throttle. This has been observed on 997.2/987.2 and early 981's. It's not frequent but it happens and I have felt it a handful of times also. I wonder if the dyno captured this?

Gbboenda, thank you so much for doing this research! I just this minute sent John at Fabspeed a question on this very subject, and then I found your post (I typically do things bass-ackwards like that). I have a 987.2 Cayman S with the ipd plenum/GT3 throttle body and a Billy Boat exhaust, and I love it. But . . . it needs more power. My wife says 3.8 conversion is off the table, and a GT4 is out of reach, so I have to continue to tweak what I have. These headers look like a logical next step, especially with the gains you got.
And hey, you live in Atlanta . . . how cold can it get? Tell the kids to tough it out!![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Well, yes. PCCB: 4 calipers and 8 pads weigh in at 19.3 kg while rotors are 13.3 kg per axle. Total 45.9 kg. Reds: unfortunately, we will be kept in suspense till I am back from business trip end of next week - sitting in boxes in my garage and will be put on a scale when I am back. Stay tuned.
Back in town, I rushed into my garage and put the Red brake components on a scale. Since it is somewhat a new topic, I started a new thread to cover it
https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...l#post13898991
(the sharp reader will notice that there is a slight difference between the PCCB weight quoted above and in the new thread. It is because above weight includes shipping materials)

For your reference the factory PSE system on the Cayman R and Boxster Spyder have a slightly larger inlet pipe diameter than the PSE systems on the standard S or Base models (5mm if memory serves me right). Although seemingly small, is does mean on the Spyder he has a bit less power potential with a catback upgrade than an S model.
2 weeks ago our high temperature was 25 for 3 days in a row. January and February can be really cold. Other times not so much. This week it has been in the 70's
