Here is a pic of mine with the no kidding 6K in exclusive makassar wood trim. Yellow painted gauges, sport steering wheel. The vent slats were even covered in leather, go figure.

niqui-
the exhaust made a big difference! noticable hp. its pull harder and stronger than before...and the sound is straight from the heavens. this car has a sound very similar to a GT3 IMO with the way the engine and intake make that harmonious symphony. the remus is great too, its got a nice exotic tone to it and screams up top.
and i will be driving mine in the winter!

heres my car...it totally drowns out the v8 of the mustang

I miss it, but I wanted to get out of debt and my timing was great. I like to chat about them, makes me want another one.

That is the fist time I have heard your exhaust and it sounds great!

thanks...im VERy happy about the decision i made. the other great thing about this car is, it really doesnt need to be modded, except for a catback exhaust and clear side reflectors. other than owners wanting a little more power, there is nothing else you could want that the stock car doesnt offer, from steering to grip to the height, and ride comfort. i have people, often girls telling me how much the LOVE the seats.
when i had the bmws, i felt like it needed so much, then every mod i did, it exposed another weakness of the car, causing me to mod again, then another exposed weakness, etc, etc. the Porsches, and esp the cayman S isnt subject to this IMO, other than power, but with 295 hp on a stock car you cant use it all on the steet anyway.

Agree, but the coilovers were unbelievably good. I would stop there though. Catback and coilovers FTW.

I had the JIC cross system. They were the cheapest fully adjustable set I could find. More importantly I had it corner weighted and the alignment checked, that is a must. It was incredible.

I got them from VIVIDRACING (sponsor here) and I saw on his sig that they are having a sale.

the wood in the cayman is truly great...
does anybody know of an exhaust company that sounds something like A/E or something, the sales rep was saying the make of the exhaust and it sounded something like "A/E" ...I dont know, thats the exhaust that is on the car i am looking at...
also, what are coilovers...
im excited that the exhaut actually makes a noticeable difference, dying to drive it.

Its more than likely AWE...that was my second choice, but wasnt agressive enough for me in the end, albeit a good option.
coilovers are suspension that allows you nearly infinite adjustability for height, dampening, rebound, etc. all depends on the coilovers you get.
i had KW V2s on my 335 and they transformed it into a new car.

The JIC Cross coilovers are great, other then the annoying metal poppin noise sometimes when you turn the steering wheel alot. Ride at 7 setting out of 15 is better then when I had H&R springs and stock shocks.

As for exhaust, you got to upgrade the stock exhaust to get a better driving experience. Loved the sound of my Supersprint Race exhaust, but the damn CEL light wouldn't go away, tried the non foulers fix, didn't fix it either
