As much as we dig this new 2009 997S we have to admit they're still pretty much a rare sight as sales on those cars have been slower than Porsche would like... So it was neat to see a pair of 09 DFI's come in today.
First up is a 2009 Macadamia 6speed 997S in for the EVOMSit Software, our SharkWerks Center Exhaust, TechArt 997 springs and the RSS sway bar kit.
Here's the same TechArt Spring and RSS Sway bar kit that we run on our own ZTadpol car:
Rears being installed (drops the car 20mm)
James removing the exhaust
And our exhaust installed
And here's the tools again for the ECU flashing on these Siemens cars:
Second was a really neat basalt black 2009 997S Cab PDK car.
Check out the yellow stitching, gauges and even sport chrono clock (not seen that before).
This one came in for the SharkWerks Center Exhaust and the EVOMSit software. On goes the exhaust...
The TechArt tips are going on later as well... This was first time we'd installed the system on a Cabriolet and I'm happy to report the results are the same aka _zero_ resonance. With it being a Cab and a PDK this particular car served as a "worst case scenario" for the resonance test.
The stock exhaust:
Replaced with ours (only takes an hour):
There's that color and all lowered 20mm with the TechArt spring kit
And then finally some stock parts to take homehilarious
Very nice. The car sits just as it should with the TechArt springs.
I've always been a fan of SharkWerks (especially the GT3 RS's). I watched the SharkWerks 997.2 S project car video I love how the exhausts sound. I'll add some more to the 997 video thread if you don't mind.
Did you notice if this 997.2 with an aftermarket exhaust was slightly quieter than a 997.1 with the same aftermarket exhaust?
Thanks ever so much... too kind. I do enjoy the RS'/GT3's so much and it took some work to get the 997.2s sounding half-decent. Motor to motor the Gen1 sounds better stock than the Gen2.... And you're right it was very much quieter to me. That third center muffler is part of it...
We're really starting to see more and more of the 09's now... This is the first C4S we've seen here and there are some subtle differences. Yes it's wider and obviously has the lower side skirts a la 997TT but the rear bumper also has some black lower skirts as well. Either way came in for a phase 1 SharkWerks Bypass exhaust and some H&R spacers because Porsche obviously didn't do anything to the offset of the stock wheels. They're the same ones as on the narrowbody
There's James taking the stock exhaust off and notice the black rear side pieces.
On goes ours...
