Very Red 997S back from GMG!
Well, I promised pictures once the car came back from GMG so here they are. I had a lot done but here are the highlights...
-GMG full WC 997 Exhaust (Headers, Cats, mufflers, and center exit GT3 style tips)
-OEM Euro GT3 rear bumper with all the trimmings.
-GMG CF Wicker for the Aero Spoiler
-GMG also fixed some scratches on the interior paint and in the leather. Both the paint guy and leather guy they use are top notch as evident by the quality of their work.
Since last time I also added a black OE front lip, OE SSK, and OE 17mm spacers on the rear!
Enjoy...
Oops...almost forgot to talk about the sound. Let me put it this way, this exhaust gives a whole new meaning to the term "loud pedal". This exhaust truly has a dual personality, depending on the amount of pedal you use. At lower RPMs, around town, or around 60-75mph on the highway, the exhaust is dead quiet. Not as quiet as stock but quieter than my PSE was when open. However, above 3-4K rpms with some good pressure on the loud pedal this things goes from quiet, to pleasing, to holy crap faster than it takes to say "cup car". The sound is also very pure, very smooth if you will. I once heard an exhaust described as "not trying too hard" and thats how this system sounds to me. In simple terms my car now has a very cup car like sound, others might call it exotic.
Now if you are one of those "latte sipping" Porsche drivers this exhaust is not for you. However, if you have driven other Porsche's besides quiet 996's and 997's then you most likely will fall in love with the sound!

Cool. The GT3 style is great. We used to have a 996 Carrera with a GT3 kit (mk1) and it was awesome.

Im in SD also, and I just ordered a GT3 kit for my 997S.
I would love to see your car in person to see how mine may turn out.
I'm also going to get the GMG GT3 exhaust eventually.
Looks rad!

Jason, looks very nice. I agree that the red wheels are too much red. I would also lower the car, will look so much better. Enjoy the new sounds, the 997 sounds like beast when you let it breathe a bit.
