Car is now in Phoenix getting worked on by people I trust. It is actually being done by a guy who specializes in Porsche. She is sitting between a Ferrari and JAG XKR. At least she will have someone to talk to while they are taking her apart. I asked them to put the S exhaust on instead of the one that it came with. I like the dual barrel look. I know some of you think I should upgrade the exhaust, but I really like the way the 987 sounds now and don't want to change it.

So far they are quoting me a month till she is fixed...the waiting game begins.

Once again, thanks for all the support! Even my wife has been logging on to see what we should do. Thanks from both of us.

Hey Rail26, that's good news.

As for the dual barrel look, get the chrome tip, it is code #XLA ($340 when ordered from the factory). In Tequipment it is part # 987 111 254 01

I think the exhaust in the 987 and 987S are the same????? Just different tips. Could be wrong.

Good luck with the repairs. I'm sure everything will turn out fine. Just keep your eyes off the Ferarri or the Porsche may become history.

I think you are right about the exhaust being the same...just different tip. I drove the 4Runner today and forgot what I was driving for a bit. My wife made us pull over and she drove...I was braking too late, taking turns a little fast for a narrow wheel base SUV and pulled into a couple situations where I needed a lot more acceleration than I had. I wasn't trying to hot rod, I just think my driving style has been forever altered by the Box.
