I had USAA for years and when I checked I found that Geico was about 1k a year cheaper with the same coverage, called USAA back to see if they would match it before I switch and they could not come close.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

From my understanding, the equal length headers change the tone of the exhaust to a more exotic sound.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking to change a a black ashtray delete option for my center console to Aluma-look. Can anyone recommend a brand of paint and the color/code that will best match the OEM Aluma-look trim? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Good evening, everyone - I posted this on another forum as well... I ordered a Kline SS exhaust, Cobb AP, plenum and air filter from SamboTT yesterday. The items will be here next week. Any pre-installation thoughts from any of you that have experience with either of these items? Anything that I can do to "be ready" for the "event?" Also, big plug for Sambo. He was patient, didn't pressure me when my schedule got busy, and was very flexible in helping me. Props for someone that does it correctly. Have a great weekend everybody! Mike

POST 3Original post

isn't aluma look power coating? may want to check bumperplug to see if they sell it

POST 4Original post

i ordered a Kline inconel exhaust, headers back, and the Cobb AP. Installed the Cobb AP with Sam over the phone, very easy and glad I did it myself, the exhaust was done at dealer. Dealer had no problems with exhaust and was particularly impressed with headers. I had the same experience with Sam, one of the most knowledge auto guys I know. The car performs and sounds great, you will be 100% satisfied.

Quotes source post: 3485388

Quote: It may be powder coat, but I figured that someone had to have painted some trim pieces themselves to match. I know a lot of people have painted their entire center consoles. I tried to order the ashtray delete from Eric and Bumperplugs but they no longer sell just that part (only the entire center console).

POST 8Original post

Hagerty and USAA for my cars. Hagerty is more expensive than others if I wanted to change. Maybe one day I will. That said, I did raise my deductibles on my cars to 3K to 5K and it saved me a good chunk of hundreds.

Quote: I had USAA for years and when I checked I found that Geico was about 1k a year cheaper with the same coverage, called USAA back to see if they would match it before I switch and they could not come close. I also checked to see what the difference would be going from 1k to 2500 and it was only about $200 a year difference, not worth the saving if I get hit by an uninsured idiot. Maybe you should check around so you don't have to have 5k deductibles.

POST 12Original post

I would highly consider the equal length Kline headers too. From my understanding, the equal length headers change the tone of the exhaust to a more exotic sound. Could be wrong, but pretty sure this is correct. I did the whole kit and caboodle (By Design Stage 4) before setting a finger on my 991 Turbo so i have no clue how it drove or sounded before... LOL Another common thing i read is the y-pipe connector sleeve. Upgrade that to the newest part # so it's less likely to pop off during boost. But maybe someone could chime in on this one...

POST 13Original post

I went a less permanent route and used Aluminum Plasti Dip. Came out great and i can peel it off when and if I don't want it anymore.

POST 14Original post

Sam is great to deal with, could not be any happier with how my car performs everyday

POST 15Original post

Guys, I know this is a really old thread, but when using the Spies Hecker L4W9 or dupont equivalent, do you also use a clear coat? My aluminum look trim on the exterior of my Cayenne turbo has a more satin/matte look, and Im no paint expert so do you use a satin/matter clear over this or can you get the L4W9 mixed in a satin/matte? Im ready to do the roof rails and want to give my paint shop a jump start on using the right color, and want to make sure the sheen is also correct. Thanks

POST 16Original post

Sam is very nice and gave me some advice over several months. Even was cool when I found a used Cobb AP for a great deal and didn't try to talk me out of it just to sell me a new one. I respect that. I bought the used AP and then bought the PDK tune from him. I Love the new shift strategy of the PDK tune! Good luck with your car.

POST 17Original post

Choosing the right payment processor is definitely important, but it's only one part of running a successful online store. Once customers complete their purchase, keeping them engaged is just as valuable as optimizing transaction fees. Automated follow-ups, abandoned cart reminders, and post-purchase campaigns can significantly improve repeat sales. Working with an ecommerce email marketing agency can help build those customer journeys and increase long-term revenue instead of relying solely on acquiring new customers.
