I am seriously considering increasing the bhp and improving the sound of my Gen 2 Turbo Cabriolet. I hope some PH guys may have done that in the past. The process I am looking at are Capistro Exhaust, remap and improved air filter. I believe it will total about 90hp improvement. Anyone had experience of a) is the power upgrade actually deliverable and noticeable and b) is the sound better and c) is the sound obtrusive and does the control system really work? Any advice or thoughts would be welcome.

Have a look at the Sharkwerks exhaust upgrade as they sound epic on the Turbo's and finally achieve giving them the supercar note they deserve!

That Sharworks unit sounds great. Also seems a lot less parts to change than Capistro. The thread is silent on bhp change though - does it improve performance?

Very good experience with Europipe exhaust on Gen 1 Turbo, but these cars will never sound as good as N/A 911. Not sure why you would want to make a Gen2 go quicker in the UK, remember you are just taking yourself closer to that custodial speeding sentence unless you save it for the track smile

Pretty sure the car will remain very drivable, which is a problem on road as where are you going to use all of that performance?
