They're out. I don't remember them being released this early in the last few years, so maby they'll start production earlier this year. Took a quick look at the C2 coupe, and noticed the following changes: --twin exhaust pipes standard--I guess like those we've seen in spy pix --18" GT3 wheels option --18" sport techno wheel option --key pouch in interior leather w/ embossed Porsche crest--back in 1989, I got this for free, now it's an option!!

Can anyone post the 2004 996 order guide??
I checked the 2003 order guide, and it also said twin exhaust pipes standard, so I guess "twin" means dual exhaust, not the ones we've seen in spy pix.
Orient Red has been removed
Any updates to this? Are the 2004 order guides available? Any other noted differences from 2003?
What was the first year that Porsche offered dual exhausts (as an option)?
"Twin exhaust pipes" means one on each side. The same as what's been standard all along. If you look at the older order guides, you'll see that the 996 always had "twin exhaust pipes." Also, the X54 option is still on the 2004 order guides.

Porsche went with twin exhausts with the 993 back in 1994. The 964 still had one pipe on the right.

I don't see C4S Cabrio, or Turbo Cabrio. Weren't they supposed to go on sale as '04s?

In fact, the Turbo Cabriolet has yet to be announced by PCNA.

Here's part of my posting from 5/8/03 re: Preliminary '04 C2 Coupe Order Guide: GT3 or Sport Techno wheels Ceramic composite brakes Porsche crest on storage bin cover Key pouch in int leather Thicker steering wheel Brake calipers in red, silver, or yellow Electric sports seats Model designation painted ext color Instrument dials in spd yellow, gds red, or white And lots more bits done up in leather, carbon, aluminum, wood, or exterior color... Dunno if that's still all current. I'm also a bit curious as to standard equip changes. -DT
