Exhaust and HFC are on after a 3 hour install (Took a couple sticky bun/coffee breaks, it was cold out!). As others have discovered, the exhaust didn't sit flush with the bumper so me and my buddy had to do a little hanger bending. Needs a little more work, but I'll let everything settle and check it in a week or so. Have a couple crappy cell phone pics but I'll post them with the good ones I take tomorrow or Sunday. The sound is amazing! My neighbors immediately came over to check it out when they heard me pull in the driveway and some guy at the gas station today told me "Your Porsche sounds amazing!" Definitely not as loud as my Ti-C on my old Integra, but it's close. To those who've had their dual SE for a while, will the tone/db level change over time?

 

Do you still live in Greenville? I think I saw your car a couple of weeks ago in front of the mall if so.

 

 

So it's been a while since I posted an update. Little bro let a friend borrow his camera, so I had nothing to shoot with for a couple weeks. Got some pictures of the car with the exhaust installed. So far things are clicking on all cylinders and haven't tripped a CEL yet. Only issue is the left canister is sitting a little right of center which you can see in the first picture. I need to bend the hanger again, but I'll leave that for a later date.







Since it was pushing 76 degrees out today, I figured it was a good day to flush my coolant and throw the Spoon hoses on. Here's a few shots of the updated engine bay.





And here's a couple other quick shots since I claybar'd and waxed yesterday:





I moved back to Maryland in 2008. I still go and visit every once in a while, but I haven't been back to Gvegas in the S yet. Might be heading down to visit in a few weeks though.

 

nice under the hood mods

I would lose the stickers on the doors

 

this is a proper build. what a relief. looking forward to the progress

 

Yeah, I really want to stick to additions that are mostly functional, with a few pieces being cosmetic to help complement the styling of the car.

My next mod is looking like a new suspension and wheels, although I'm still reading and learning what is right for me. I'm really gravitating towards a non-staggered 17x9, wider than stock but not "hella flush". I like the RPF1 but want something more unique. I really like the Advan RS and think I may go that route but we'll see. Thanks for all the comments!
