Re: sport exhaust

Correction!! I agree with Carlos from Spain. I have a March build with an April delivery date for a 997S. Dealer says sports exhaust should be available at that time.

Re: sport exhaust

PCNA provided dealers today a new list of unavailable options, and sport exhaust was one of them (along with just about every color full leather interior for the base Carrera!). It is currently unavailable and PCNA will notify the dealers when it becomes available.

Re: sport exhaust

I ordered my 997s Cab with sports exhaust - April build May delivery. Dealer told me the sports exhaust was available for the March build, but due to lack of parts ,it would not be available for my build.The dealer has ordered the sports exhaust and has offered to install it at the same price as the option price $2400. They also gave me $1000 off the MSRP.

Call me cynical, but PCNA has communicated to the dealers since the 997 intro (and again as recently as today) that the sport exhaust wasn't available for ordering and they'd communicate when it was available--which they haven't yet. Seems to me some dealers might be stringing buyers along saying it's about to become available, or it was available for a certain month's production, but just not on your car!

Re: sport exhaust

A general question on the 997S exhaust. Is the Porche sport exhaust that much better then say the Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust or the exhausts offered by many other after market providers? I have ordered a 997S and plan to replace the exhaust for a more throaty sound. Has anyone else replaced the exhaust on a 997S? If so what are your thoughts? Thanks.

Re: sport exhaust

I'm not sure about the porsche sports exhaust being any better than an after market exhaust. I liked the idea of being able to switch between the standard and sports mode. Sometimes I enjoy a quiet ride, but its also puts a big smile on my face to push the car to MY limits and hear that roar. I'm hope to get the best of both with the sports exhaust

Don't hold your breath, I was told emission 4 level compliance is the reason for delays and nothing will be available for months.
