Whoops. What have I started!

Agree with adding manifolds before the exhaust. They are a major restriction if you look at their design. Another plus point is the engine will Rev way more freely.

Indeed. The 987 has 2 sets of cats, one in the manifolds and one in the silencer section at the back. Removing one of these will help make for a crisper sound.

The Carnewal GT exhaust removes the secondaries amongst other things, and when I had this done to my 987S and the results were fantastic (much more popping on the overrun).

Thanks Mr Demon, not heard yours? Where would I hear it?

mics at the exhaust and PSE open, the good thing is on runs you can go PSE closed also.

OK, Mr Demon, this sounds good. How and where do I get it done (and does it affect warranty?).

buy the exhaust, dump the 981.
the 987/2 Spyder will without doubt will be the classic to own in the future

hear what you are saying, and you could well be right, but I think the 981 is epic, 2000 miles and plenty of smiles

[pencil9]

Agreed! Just clicked 2000 miles in mine , enjoying it massively it sounds better and better with every drive! Suns out, roof off fun time!

the 987.2 cars have all 4 cats in the manifolds ;-) the Carnewal mod removed just a bit of wadding on the gen 2's.

every thing effects warranty, but what goes wrong on cars is not covered 90% of the time !!!

I put in a Cargraphic Manifold, best thing I ever did.

[beacytan]

so if he buys a banana it will make his 987 faster than a 981?

i'm confused

[kilarney]

Loving mine and 1200 miles in now and as pretty as a pretty thing people keep telling me.

Lovely looking cars, just a shame there weren't more available.

There does seem like quite a few for sale on Pistonheads (17 currently from circa £75k to 88k).

Be interesting to see if prices to drop off into the Autumn.

Bloody shame that , I thought the Spyder had mostly missed the flipper - I wouldn't sell mine for anything - they are such great cars

[Frrair]

I have been enjoying mine 987.2 the last few days, it's a great fun little car that seems to sing the harder you drive it.

Thought they were quite rare but saw another one that looked the same from a distance (white with the right wheels) on the way home tonight. So if it was you coming off the M42 at junction 9, then Hi from me.

Enjoy the weather one and all, I am off to California tomorrow driving the coast road from SF to LA taking in the car weekend in Monterey, I will miss the Spyder being four up in a








Chrysler... Yum.

Thanks, but where do you get this done?

[davidc1]

I saw a 987 spyder in Hastings 3 Sundays ago, 10 plate in white , silver rims , anyone on here?
My spyder is just under 1000 miles now , and its just the coolest thing! So much attention , and all positive . Nothing new compared at that price point.i would swap it for a new Targa 991 perhaps...

Over from the UK my 981 Spyder is garaged for August back home ,tried to drive highway
1 from SF to LA on Sunday to find the route closed south of Monterey due to forest fire hope you had better luck!

Thanks for pointing that out. My car wasn't a Spyder, but a gem 1 987. I suppose sports cata in the manifold makes sense as you say.... (For gen II / Spyders)

My OPC fitted mine, but I doubt many would.

OK, but where do you buy it? Am I being dim? I'm assuming you dont buy it from OPC. What is the part you are buying etc?
