Bummer! You hadn't left your lane so how could you be responsible for cutting him off!! Did you take note of any other witnesses who might have seen the incident? Good luck with everything.

Eyewitness accounts have been proven to be totally unreliable and the guy who claimed you cut the van off is probably convinced in what he believes even though he's dead wrong. Hope he's as big a ****** as he seems and doesn't make a police report naming you as the cause of the accident. Even then, assuming the van driver isn't seriously injured, chances are he or she will verify the accuracy of what happened and discredit the jerk.

I'll get back to something more entertaining and do a few adjustments to my exhaust tonight

Serge,
Maybe you need to start using your GOPRO on your DD to work.

Thanks to you all for your kind words. So far have not heard back from the police. Anyway, I am not losing my sleep on this.
Quick funny anecdote from this morning. I went to the dealership as an 'interim service' message had appeared, not even one week after an oil change and full reset of the system. This was probably just a minor glitch and a tech fixed it in a couple of minutes. His first attempt failed though and he explained that sometimes the PIWIS does not work great with the English settings. He switched to the German settings and... immediate and complete success.
So, if you want your 991 to do exactly what you want, talk German to her, she'll like it

Serge, I just read up on this thread and am sorry to hear about the shenanigans regarding the van. I hope all this works of fine and the truth prevails. Apart from this single "eyewitness" did you or anyone else go back and really see the accident?

This was at the rush hour and going all the way back on the freeway would have taken an hour... and I had 30 associates waiting for me in a meeting. Since the police told me they were already on their way and that things were under control I left it there and told them to contact me if necessary.

Follow up on FVD valved X-pipe
I have had the FVD valved X-pipe in place for a few days. It sounds amazing in loud mode (much deeper sound at low rpm, F1-like at high rpm). My concern is that after break in, even the 'quiet' mode is still fairly loud.
In brief:
-quiet mode = a bit louder than PSE (after a few days break in. Seemed much more quiet right after the install)
-loud mode = WOW!
Here is a short videoclip with the exhaust in loud mode between 12 and 1 on Road Atlanta:
The fact of the matter is that the quiet mode is still too loud for me. I am using the car as a daily driver and like to 'cruise' on 500 miles trips.
I'll probably end up selling the X-pipe. You can always PM me if you are interested.

That is one of the reasons I will be selling my Mustang. It has Ford racing parts from the manifold on back and it sounds GREAT when you start it up. It sounds great for 5 minutes. Then, it is just too much noise for a DD - and it has no off switch! For me, the C2S without PSE is plenty for the ears when you want it and not too intrusive when you are cruising.
