It really is a striking color! It's giving me expensive ideas

Heh it just puts a smile on your face when you see it

Sort of like this car does:

Actually it's pretty similar to stock with the valves closed

It's not loud inside either with the valves open but you'd need to hear it

I say the Sharkwerk's rear bypass is a MUST HAVE for any 2009-2012 997.

Thanks mdrums and glad you like it too

Those GTS' are seriously like a "facelift" improvement over the 997S that I owned. They're that good...

Also, you never hear anyone saying that they wish they hadn't gotten the Bypass. If you've never heard it in person it is a leap of faith - but well worth it. On the GTS (the only thing I have experience with), good product, great sound w/o replacing the entire exhaust. Kudos to Sharkwerks.

(Mdrums, my wife told me she hated the black wheels when I ordered the car but never said anything - now she tells me, considering the color of the car, that they actually a nice compliment. I'm ambivalent about the CL's b/c I don't change wheels for track days - plus they're a tad easier to clean.)

Hehe so glad you like it! Your wheels look great like that and indeed it's a hassle removing them but as long as you have a second person you can do it

Great color on the car. I'll definitively add this on my list of possible choices for my next car. But I have to say, that list of nice Porsche blues just keep getting longer (Mexico, Riviera, Turquoise, etc.)... This PTS thing is not making things easier...

Well done,

T.

Thanks T.! It's built by a Canadian (James!) for Canadians:P
