None... both are original and no rebuilds.

Installed headlights

Replaced my headlights (looked as though someone ran a rake over the plastic) with a pair of pristine (purchased on the 986forum) headlights. Man they look great.
:dance:

Installed my top speed secondary car deletes.

Coupled with Borla sport exhaust.

Still drones, but down towards 2k instead of closer to 3k.

Pretty much means that's out of my normal operating range.

Got a DE next weekend, we'll see how she does as she gets wound up and set free.

Cheers,

Mike

Got mine back on Friday. When I did my inspection it turned out that I was ready for new rear tires. On short notice I was limited to local availability and went with Toyo sport 2's. So far so good, and the balance after replacing my engine mounts is a significant improvement.

Not sure if this will work......

Video of new exhaust with remote Gopro Microphone

Had to keep it to reasonable street speeds, but I'm looking forward to capturing some track action and audio.

Remote mic picks up engine/tranny more so than the exhaust.

enjoy,

Mike
