On my 996 you can see the diffrence in 4s & normal 4, so the 997 is not as noticable ? are the 4 more expensive to buy?

It's pretty simple

2
2S more power, bit more kit
4 four wheel drive
4S more power, bit more kit, four wheel drive

Both the 4wd and S cost more

997 C4 v C4S not as noticeable as 996 as both 997 get the wide body and the front end, suspension and brakes are the same, but the S has quad exhaust and different standard alloys. Only the later (and not in your budget) C4S gets the too skinny red stripe

With PDK? It's 2008 Gen II surely.

None have as standard, but you are right to want one as it costs double to retrofit

S has 4 round exhaust vs 2 flat ovals for non S, regardless of 2wd or 4wd

Sport exhaust was a pricey option on all of them, £1300 ish IIRC

Sports exhaust is four exhausts with smaller inner two like this

Yes it's switchable

pse retrofit was circa £2000, worth it yes but still didnt like as much as my 996 pse.

adam thanks, i have a 996 & never had exhaust, so i had a company called haywood & scott do i thing called a "gundo hack" or something? Mine cost £350 & have to say , it sounds awsome! could this be done to a 997 4 s? the one i am after is for sale on here but dont have exhaust, everything else is perfect for me (including my max budget of £20 k ish.)
cheers Ian
