It's definitely not a popular option for the 986/996 generation but all the modern rs series porsches use them (for good reason!).

Yesterday I swapped out the stock base muffler for my internally modified S model one. Now it sounds like a proper sports car.

Today I took it easy. The only thing of note I did was put the spoiler on correctly since it seems I missed getting a couple of the tabs to go under the lip on the metal part, installed my carbon fiber license plate frame and made my top into semi-auto. I hooked up the clamshell to the transmission so it now sits flush with the trunk lid. It was driving my crazy that it didn't sit flush with the top up. It was even worse with the top down. Now it sits flush top up or down.

Next steps are make the top fully automatic and do the new pads, rotors, paint calipers and apply silver stickers. I have taken a bunch of pics during the transformation and will be posting them soon.

I'll be taking my first longer road trip tomorrow to Pittsburgh, about a 5 1/2 trip one way. Wish me luck.
