Not doing that anymore?

G
Sorry I didn't get it the first time.

Yes, I'm still using the same service, and you will be able to purchase it through them if you want.
But if you do, you will have to prep it and get the M6 nuts yourself too.
And the customization they offer is limited, you can just put a writing on it, and with the reinforcing ribs, it's not going to look good.

Tell me if you have any more question

Alfieg, are you happy with the result in terms of power?

Ben.

Increased power

Hi Ben006,

Yes, I am happy with the power. I also added headers and replaced my secondary cats with test pipes.

Ok, hold on. Your selling them now? Where did Alfieg get his? Been waiting a year for you, hopefully your close partner.

No no, he used a 996 plenum! It's a common mod, but the cross tube is bigger than the holes on the 986 intake, and that creates a step in the intake.
It's not a solution I like really, even though it works.

When?

I'll finally be back in the US Friday!
I'll need to do a final check on the prototype that is still on my car, and then I'll start to make the first ones

Ben

Recent mod

I didn't mean to create any controversy. I had purchased the parts over a year ago and only recently did the mod. I am certain Ben006's kit is first class.
