Do consider that this will invalidate your warranty.
I think Chris has covered this in the Sharkwerks post. If the problem is caused by the exhaust then yes it would invalidate the warranty, and I think I would need to discuss with the OPC as some seem more sympathetic than others to bits being changed Maybe mine will be more forgiving as they are mucking me around (fat chance!). I know it's a risk and I'll have to weigh that up at the time. I know that if I want to renew the warranty it would have to go back to standard. Well Guys, Friday was the happy day and I finally collected my GTS.
As I was waiting so long I decided to get Justin at Exclusive Car Care to detail the car. He visited it at the OPC showroom and we agreed a 2-stage polish and to then finish it with Gtechnic Crystal Seurm for a long lasting shine. He did a fantastic job and all I can say is WOW the car looks better than new. No swirls on the paint and a flawless finish with some seriously gleaming wheels.
200 miles in so far and I'm loving it. The manual gearbox change is so crisp and the engine so free revving.
The car seems slower with PSE switched on, but maybe thats just me? Anyway a few more runs and I'll hopefully know more about this. Does anyone else with PSE have any thoughts or comments?
Anyway, spec and the all important pictures.

One thing I dislike generally are the chrome headlight washers.
I've just bought some new covers from Porsche. They're only about £15 each and come finished in primer. Had them back from the paint shop on Friday (a freebie!), and will fit them this week sometime. A very cheap update.
Did mine in Carrara to match the body but gloss black would suit it too - even more so on yours with the black wheels.
Just a thought

We recently had such a missfire code,the car eventually had a variocam issue,check cam angle sensor output on live feed (only on one bank as UK car US ROW cars have one on each bank dont know why!)
Hi Gary - that's interesting and the first response from anyone on and off the forum to this question. Were there any other symptoms that pointed to checking the variocam?911Gary said:

Painted washers are a £138 option on the configurator!!! You've done exceptionally well at £30I've just bought some new covers from Porsche. They're only about £15 each and come finished in primer.
