My first modifications on my C4S - big thanks to Arling and Tom at Lucent Motors!

I decided I needed to buy myself something for Christmas since I seem to spend more on other people than on me.

So after conferring with Arling via AIM for past couple weeks, I took the plunge and installed today the FabSpeed Hiflow muffler, BMC filter (I'm not mechanically inclined...) and PSS9. Take in mind, I swore I would never modify a car ever again after a bad experience with aftermarket parts from a previous car. However, after countless number of reviews on Lucent, I felt they could be trusted and they delivered today more than I could ever hope for.

Arling and Tom are one of the most genuine car enthusiast/shop owners I have ever met. It was also great seeing some of the regular Porsche guys over at Lucent as well.

I will be going back to get the HRE 542R wheels, I bought from Minsidi on 6speed, installed after Lucent powdercoats the center black, the turbo lip, the cone thingy for the FabSpeed intake and some other things.

The C4S finally sounds like it has some soul. Oh yeah, after 8,000 miles, FINALLY, the car drives STRAIGHT! Two dealerships couldn't "fix" the alignment problem; the car steered to the right. Tom was able to fix it! Go figure...

I will take some pictures tomorrow.

The PSS9 is probably the best bang for the buck mod. The driving not only became smoother, but the response of the vehicle improved as well, in my opinion.

The funny thing is I still think the FabSpeed is too quiet. I may have to get the Cat Bypass too...lol.
