Mine has a Miltek, the car came with this and it sounds great. If ever sold up I would put the standard one back on but I think for a car thats so raw, the standard exhaust does not match the
looks.

Yes. I have a Gemballa on the one and a 9FF on the other. The Gemballa has the cats removed AND the silencer internals discarded. It sounds truly immense with the turbo's whistling up and down the rev range, has a wicked crack on up-shifts and gobs flames out. It is loud....

The 9ff is switchable unit (with valves) so is far more sensible. It will be taken off the Clubbie and a standard one put back on so as to put the car totally back to standard. Less aggressive than the comfort with the Gemballa but a massive improvement over OEM which kills the car IMO.

Do it.

Thanks for the feedback, whats the motorway drown like?

Popped in to see how my "little" project is doing and they had this original GT40 in for some work
before the Classic series really kicks off.

You should drop by one time.
I'm literally a mile away.

That will be great, Im back up at AR in a couple of weeks. The car is looking very mean, Engine is now all assembled, and Tin work now installed and Powder coated so not long for paint. I cant fault the quality of Andys work !

Not sure how old the PDF these came from is, so it's possible they've been superseded :

A 996 347 012 07

> 996 347 012 08

I hope the summer is long & dry so I can enjoy my reborn 997 GT2!





Just collected the car after the grit & wear of 6 years in Dubai was removed & reversed & I now have a beauty of a car to enjoy.

Long list of fixes - new clutch, all calipers reconditioned with new pads, two new dampers at the front, alignment set for UK roads and a few cosmetic corrections to the interior. An expensive list of repairs but the difference to the car is amazing.

Just glad I brought it back to the UK from Dubai.

Time to enjoy it.

Evening all

If anyone is up for it this Monday is porsche only night at the Ace Cafe London and we have a good few GT2s all coming

Back in March we got to 10 GT2s at the open morning at OPC Reading so come on they all need to be driven!

[Xps911]

Have to say credit to Porsche, my 996 gt2 performed flawlessly at the weekend on track, out for 30 to 40 minutes each session! Was very nice to take her back on track.

Isnt it funny how times change Lol. I remember when people use to slate these cars calling them one trick ponies and now there the coolest things to have in your collection.

Looking forward to seeing some Canyon Carving footage soon, Magnus style.

You don't need to look that hard.....there are 4 for sale on Piston Heads right now, offering varying degrees of value.

I think the 195K asking price on one of them is still a bit ambitious mind!

Lovely car and nice road trip !!! I just did uk to the ring and the biggest Porsche show in Europe, I feel another road trip coming on !!!! The car just eats up countries like they are not there.

You don't realize how wide the rear wheels are on a GT2 until you remove them.

All set for our road trip tomorrow, really looking forward to just spending time behind the wheel.
