Close enough if you're writing a press release, apparently.

I was.

I'd come to the realization that "Europipe two beggars can't be choosers"...

As a matter of fact, I don't think it is too loud- kind of glad I did it! I've only run it 25 minutes or so (still awaiting some programming...)

I'd figured that I could always get rid of it, maybe swap someone for a quiet if necessary. I saw it on ebay and bought it within hours of it listing!

PS Ep2L, Wastegates, diverters, SSK, new plugs, UMW flash...I'll be posting impressions when the flash is on. JUST the EP2 and wastegates- with stock programing is VERY noticeable.

PPS the voice button is "inactive" on my 2004. What a lame-O thing to put in a users manual....

From the S press release:

Porsche 911 Turbo S Announced

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S builds on the awe-inspiring attributes of the 911 Turbo, and takes the driving experience to a new, higher level. The Turbo S, which is available both as a Coupe and Convertible, is based on the current 996 generation 911 Turbo and will join the broadest ever range of 911 models when it goes on sale in August.

The evocative twin-turbocharged, 3.6-litre flat six engine has been tuned in the Turbo S model to develop more power and torque for even greater performance – and Porsche engineers have achieved this while ensuring fuel consumption and emissions barely differ from the standard Turbo model.

The vital statistics of the Turbo S are impressive. Power is raised to 444 bhp, and pulling power leaps to 457 lb-ft. This increase in engine responsiveness manifests itself particularly during in-gear acceleration – which is stunning. The engine delivers these remarkable figures courtesy of larger turbochargers, modified intercoolers and revised engine management electronics. Additionally, the six speed manual transmission has been strengthened to handle the torque increase.

The brakes of the 911 Turbo S have also been uprated similarly. Fitted as standard are the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) system, offering a 50% weight reduction per wheel over the conventional steel brake disc equivalent, as well as superior fade resistance characteristics under heavy braking.

Standard equipment on the Turbo S includes metallic paint (including a special colour – Dark Olive metallic), Xenon headlights, a BOSE audio system and the Porsche Communication Management System (PCM) incorporating audio, telephone and satellite navigation functionality. Additionally, the Turbo S offers 18" alloy wheels painted in GT Silver metallic, plus full leather interior trim, aluminium-coloured instrument dials, cruise control and a CD autochanger.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe is priced at $131,400.

Awesome dood. I'd love to hear a video clip whenever you get the chance.
I'll probably make some too soon.
