    I didn’t realize it is now summer in the Eiffel ......

    Apparently the weather for the 718 Spyder testing has been quite unpredictable...

    Re: 718 Spyder

    Such a shame all the new sports cars now, even the N/A ones like the Spyder have such a muffled exhaust now,  one of the big appeal of my Boxster GTS is the epic sounds. Only AMG seem to have the knack of wonderful sounding engines, and even those are soon to end sadly.

    Not only AMG sound will end soon...Lamborghini as well (as I've been told). The public and authorities pressure it too high to keep this going. Smiley

    I do like this spyder very much. But would want PDK. And an aftermarket exhaust.

    Re: 718 Spyder

    The Spyder looks great but has some weird compromises like you can’t access the rear boot (trunk) with the roof up.

    Great looking car though I agree especially the front Smiley

    Dreamcar, I think you actually can access it. A friend showed / proved it to me on the old(er) version anyway...

    Not as easy as on a Boxster, but doable.

    Don’t worry I wouldn’t!! Especially after reading various reviews regarding disappointing engine and exhaust note Smiley didn’t have to put any money down and Porsche were offering a half day experience at Silverstone so......Smiley

    I thought the Spyder was unlimited. So if you really want one, you should also get one.

    I'm in the same boat too. I was first in line (with a hefty deposit) for the new GT4. The dealer has been asking me to send in my spec for a few months now, and I keep ignoring him. I like my Cayman GTS and don't feel like parting with it. I should probably get my deposit back. I haven't even thought about where I am in line at this point...


    Re: 718 Spyder

    Consolation prize for not getting a Speedster allocation. Not specced by me but a nice combination nonetheless. GPF has really reduced the exhaust note.

    Re: 718 Spyder

    Great spec


    Re: 718 Spyder

    Congratulations, looks great crayphile Smiley - shame about the exhaust note though. Such is "progress" unfortunately. Smiley Still, less temptation to change our 981 GTS! Smiley

    Tempting. I wonder what it would do to the Porsche warranty though Smiley?

    The product I linked you to does not bypass the filters (though they will have an option for doing this in the future).  It leaves filters in place and replaces the muffler.  It should not affect emissions nor warranty.  No tune required.

    Here is RL thread:

    Re: 718 Spyder

    Not in the US.  I’m not familiar with the law in UK, but here Porsche would have to show that the modification caused the defect for which they are denying coverage.  I’ve never seen the denial of a claim from exhaust modifications that come downstream of the emissions equipment.
