okay, thank you for the detailed information.

And the one version you are offering online would merge those to versions
to fit a 997.1 and a 997.2 rear bumper.

Could you show some pics also?

Regards
David

That is correct, our conversion exhaust fits the 997.1 Turbo with the FL rear bumper and FL tips.

This is the 997.1 Turbo of forum member w00zy. You have to buy a new FL alumium rear heat shield as well. This is still the old style heat shield.

No need to buy the heat shield



Just bend it and it will look nice





There is still a part of the heat shield, at the top, that you can see but only if you are on the floor looking directly at the exhaust tip. Next time i'm going to paint that part of the heat shield in black.
I'm also going to ceramic coat the exhaust tips because they look bad from the trackdays

Hi Stef. Are you reachable tomorrow in the shop?

Should I order an exhaust would it be possible
To add some measurement points before
and after the cats?

Why are you using emitec instead of HJS?

David

He explains why they use the 100 cell Emitec v. the 200 cell HJS in his website.

Yes, thank you, I saw that.
I am just wondering if a 100 cell HJS or a 100 cell Emitec will produce less backpressure.
But for sure they have their experience and tested maybe both manufacturers.

I'm mostly in the shop and we can add bungs / measurement points indeed.

We are happy with Emitec.
Besides, Emitec is a cat manufacturer and HJS is not.

All things being equal, I can't see spending four time the cost of an EP. Rather upgrade the suspension with the balance of the money and have a better overall car.

It'll be EP for me this winter.
