Neil, car looks wonderful.

If you don't mind, I'd love to get more photos of your car on HRE's.

They match Agate perfectly. How do you like your 991? What transmission did you choose and do you have interior pictures? I think the height looks fine because youre running stock tires and stock 991 dont sit that high to me. Then again I dont like the look of a slammed car. With those wheels and the weight loss from the stock ones you must feel better performace all around from the car now. The acceleration, handling, and braking all must be that much better with those wheels. A cosmetic change to change to a car that makes it perform better. Whats better than that?

Thanks again! I like my 991, but now I can't wait for the Turbo 991 thats comming in 2 years lol. Slamming the car isn't practical for me, it already scrapes some driveways to 2 gas stations I like going to, so I'm not going to worry about it. Also since HRE are custom wheels, they make the offset on the 991 so that the tire goes past the fender a tiny bit so that the car is more stable around turns and gives the car a more aggressive look. I know it is lighter than stock so it will definately help with power/weight ratio, even more once I swap out the muffler, not sure if I will do the cats, mabye just the brombacher muffler, than plug up the vacuum line. We shall see. Forgot to mention, I got it with PDK.

Beautiful car! If you're willing to spend almost $10K, there's the Brombacher exhaust system:

Sounds amazing and adds about 25hp...

Is there dyno data available supporting that hp bump claim?

Sweet! I like the contrast between the dark rims and the bright red brake calipers.

Not that I know of. I would definitely look more into it before purchasing. Someone from fvd started a thread a while back and they included their contact info: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ust-video.html

There's also some more information on this website: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/b...-p-152781.html

Hope that helps!

HP claims aside, I simply can't imagine spending 10K for an aftermarket exhaust on this car when the PSE sounds so incredibly sweet. If you haven't heard it/driven it in person you owe it to yourself to do so.

I agree, it does sound nice already. From the hp/torque addition and weight savings claims, however, that exhaust system is kind of tempting, albeit for 10k...

Thanks again guys, I think at the very least, I will look into muffler options, but seems like we got plenty of time to make decisions since theres not a whole lot available for us yet.
