I find it amusing that people spend 100k on a Porsche because they think it's one of the best engineered cars available.
And then immediately proceed to rip out brand new exhausts and air intakes, believing that somehow they will get better performance from some aftermarket stuff.
Apparently they trust the BS from backyard muffler welders more than they do the Porsche Engineers who have been continuously improving the performance of these cars for decades .
Or perhaps they are under the impression that the exhaust and intake systems are deliberately screwed up by Porsche just to [beep] us off ?
Fully agree. Porsche is incented to give us the best product they can for the best value they can while making the right profit, so that we will come back and buy more, and tell our friends so they will buy more. Will they get it exactly right each time? Of course not. Do they deliberately set out to 'cheat' us? I doubt it.
You guys might relax just a little.
Us$100K isn't that huge an amount of money for everyone.
People should enjoy their hobbies. If that means waxing their cars and keeping them stock: great. If it means tearing into the brand new car: that's even more interesting
As for Porsche? My bet is there're lots of pressures between engineering and marketing departments which result in compromises. In the end though, Porsche does what they want on these cars and fully expect MOST guys to accept it 1000 (1K) percent.
It's nice there are a number of highly regarded tuners out there (Ruf, Gemballa etc) who can see the factory compromises and offer to reduce them.
Some guys just like to tinker and..., for example..., put headers on the car. Keeping the factory warrenty intact isn't that big a deal.
It's all good.
