Does anyone know if there are exhaust modifications available for the 08 GT2's? I have done the DME remap by FVD and now am replacing some rubber hoses with silicone that will make my total HP up to around 600. I am looking for a more growling and strong sound for the car with a more free flowing exhaust.

Thanks. Is there a supplier of choice that might make a product with the sound I am looking for? Actually, the exhaust is the same as the 997 turbo like you have, only it is titanium. I believe that any exhaust that fits on a TT will also work on the GT2. I was told that I could remove the titanium exhaust and install it on my wife's 997 TT Cab. The dealer said this.

, the exhaust note leaves a lot to be desired. It is louder than stock Turbo and more aggressive sounding, but **to my ears** it is still very docile sounding, especially compared to other cars it its "class/category," and not loud enough. Like the Turbo, it has some of that bothersome continuous tone that is vacuum-cleaner like. I do think any number of after-market exhausts will improve upon the stock GT2 sound.
. I am puzzled about the suspension change since the stock GT2 feels so perfect to me already, but maybe owner knows something I don't.

Think of our own Turbo wheel, exhaust system, and for some, suspension system. Maybe 13k at least? And if you are after better sound, does it matter whether the stock exhaust is made of steel or $$$ xyz exotic material?
No weight gain or performance loss!

Isn't throwing away a very expensive new technology stock titanium exhaust a little silly though?!

Who said it was being thrown away? The dealership has bought it for installation on someone's 997TT.

I see what you mean. But since when does modding take into consideration the value of the original parts?
I would think anyone with the $ for a GT2 would be in a position to replace it with an after-market exhaust system that is *also* titanium.Quote:

The only thing better about my old stock exhaust was the density of the cats to improve emissions. Everything else is worse compared to my new Cargraphic exhaust (which is lighter, and better quality)
My old stock wheels aren't as good as good as my HRE's either (which are lighter, stronger etc)
So I consider these as both 'upgrades'.
The GT2 exhaust system is much more advanced, so you'd really have to push the boat out $$$$-wise to not lose more than you gain on a replacement.

or whatever for stock exhaust--to reduce back pressure. So yes, while data is not published yet, it should/would be an upgrade. There is no reason to think otherwise.
, question: Do you know what it is about the GT2 exhaust system that makes it "much more advanced," outside of the Titanium construction?

How much lighter are those HRE wheels? Was there any noticeable improvement in acceleration?

The same thing you said about Cargraphic Exhaust for your Turbo would apply to, say, Cargraphic Exhaust for the GT2. There is no reason for me to think otherwise coming from Cargraphic, or even GMG, if owner decides to stick with Titanium version. (GMG Racing is located across the street from Porsche Motorsport North America in Santa Ana and maintains a working relationship.) For one, AFAIK both would be in a position to use 200 cell substrate--vs. 600
Yes you have a point about $ issue, but I think that is for original poster to decide here. Seriously, have you listened to a GT2 in real life and under load, from inside and outside the car? If you have, I think you would understand much better why the question was posed and might not be presenting an argument here.
Real, not rhetoric or argumentative

I thought RC or someone mentioned a while back that retro-fitting a GT2 exhaust to a TT wasn't possible. Especially with the different types of bumpers?!
Perhaps this put's a new complexing on things if an OPC is doing the retro-fit.
