Of course on the way back you then pass close to Chris at Center Gravity you know?
Center of Gravity already ticked off list - Chris Franklin is a magician!
On the 200 cell cats - I've read the reviews on the group buy and it seems they're the ticket. Despite that, like Jonttt, I'm a little worried that combined with the bypass mufflers (Fister 2s in my case) they may be too loud. If I hadn't already bought the mufflers I think I would have tried sports cats on their own first - but having looked at the decibel readings from Darin Fister in the States, 200 cell cats with Fister 2s are louder than Fister 3s which may be too much. So I've decided to go with a Wayne remap first and live a while with it. I appreciate if I then go for the 200 cats at a later date I'll have to redo the remap, but I'm being Mr Cautious....must be getting old!
Exhaust note is so subjective....to me, no question, the original 993 setup is too quiet.....but with a range of mods, at what point does it become too loud for the street? Some people want race car loud - and if that's what's wanted, go for it - but I personally don't like the idea of a car sounding more powerful than it actually is. It may be that the chip/sports cat/muffler bypass combo gives the perfect sound, I don't know as I haven't heard it 'live', but I'm doing it in incremental steps.
