Looks neat with the chrome pipe and silicone joiners. Mine has flexible joiners and 30cm of exhaust pipe. I found that it feels a little more open on throttle. No power gains that I know of though.

Just did a resonectomy with some parts i ordered from the USA.

2 x Black Silicone Elbow Joints
1 x 2ft Aluminium Pipe
Total Cost $60..oh yeah

Firstly, i removed all the crap that was already in there.

I then went to town on the parts as they had to be cut to size in order to get a straight flow

Lastly i put it all together and tightened the hose clamps

I think it looks great and the parts are soooo cheap for the US

2.5in or 3in piiping?

So far im not entirely sure if its made a difference power wise (i doubt it has), but its definately changed in sound. Basically when it hits about 4000rpm it changes pitch.

On the down side though i have noticed an annoying vibrating noise under were the passengers feet would go once it hits about 5000rpm. I have no idea how my intake could efffect this, i have checked the heat guards around the exhause etc but nothing obvious stands out. If anyone knows what it could be i would really appreicate it.

..yes, about that :scratch_one-s_head:

i dont no where it is !

2.5in or 3in piiping?

its 2.5inch aluminium pipe i got it of siliconeintakes.com
stuff was real easy to work with !

Yeah thanks it all worked out well, i was originally going to bet blue silicone but i thought it might look a bit wankerish. The site i got it from is just so damn cheap !

So..basically, the noise happens at exactly 3500rpm. If im sitting at 3000 then put my foot down i can hear the drone of the exhaust, but then just near the passenger footwell i hear a vibrating metal on metal noise that lasts till 4000rpm.

Thanks for the advice, but thats what the sway bars are for, the spacers are purely for looks. Do you think i should take them off though ?

Porsche 911's (the base models with a small rear wheel width) have bolt on spacers from the factory to take up the gap.

The air intake over the radiator touching something, i.e the ABS pump?

Finally, my suspension arrived in the mail !!
Ive spent the last 2 days fiddling around and installing it with only 1 real issue.

Last night i removed the front springs and then installed the front coil overs...simple enough

Until we got to the rear ones everything was going well. So, we popped out the right rear one with a bit of brute force to undo the main bolt holding in the stock suspension and installed it with no problems.

However, when we got to the last one we found that the bolt..literally ! refused to move. We put massive amounts of torsion on this bad boy, applied heat, froze it, wd40, hit it with hammers etc etc for about 2 hours until it was 1:30 in the morning. It was getting to the point where the main nut was getting way to gobbled by the impact socket that we didnt want to do anymore damage. Admitting defeat i took it to my local mechanic who managed to get it off after 20minutes with a rattle gun and an oxy gun. Took it home and installed the last one and adjusted all the damper points.

Ride height is perfect in my opinion and its looking great !

Stiffness:
Front = 15, Rear = 20
