I have a set from a '99 engine I purchased, not sure if they will mate up to the mufflers on an '02 or not.
Todd
Hey Todd, I'll check into it and let you know what I find out. I see you're from Lenexa, I used to live in Overland Park. Do you use Imagine Auto locally?

I have a full cargraphic exhaust system on my car - which I love, but my car won't pass the CA smog requirement. I have the stock headers but not the stock cats or exhaust. Does anyone have stock cats and/or exhaust available? Help!!
Is it not passing the visible portion, but passes the rest of the tests or??
I took it to a local smog shop and they just said they couldn't get it to pass so they stopped testing. It's now at a Porsche indy shop getting checked out - hopefully they can work some magic and get it to pass.

I love the so2a's - tried the ps2's and not a big fan, just didn't have the same feel as the s02a's.

Yep - been there, done that. Cap or tank.

I'm a huge fan of Bridgestone SO2a tires for the street.

Mirror tilt is covered in your Owners Manual and has also been covered here (please do a search).
Do a search for daytime running lights also. On a 996 you have to do some wiring and add a relay (on US cars) to add daytime running lights. For 997s it is a programmable software switch.
On the 996 you can simply bridge the seat heating circuit, SOURCE side, into the street/parking/tail light circuit and have canadian style DRLs. The european 5 watt halogen in the headlamps operates on the same circuit.
wwest - do you have more detailed instructions?
-
How'd it turn out? Worth the money?
-
oem won't work because the air intake is in a different location - gt3 vs non-gt3. you have to go with an aftermarket decklid and wing.

I'm considering a change as well and here's the text of an email I got from a shop I trust. My car's actually there right now getting some other work done...

In terms of exhaust here is what I recommend.
Mufflers make very little power mostly sound ( 5-7bhp) Cargraphic $2300.00
High flow cats- cargraphic 200 cell obd2 compliant ( 15hp) Cargraphic $2600.00
Exhaust manifolds help the power band come on sooner and fall off later ( 5hp) GMG 1900.00 Cargraphic $2300.00

front spoiler/splitter with no rear wing = OK
rear wing with no front spoiler/splitter = not OK
The dealer's right.

GMG - ask for Fabryce or Vadeen. My cars there right now, ask them if it's done for me!! (Brian Vance)

I just copied this post from rennlist - the details on the group buy:
Hey folks, ok so some of you guys asked for it and the powers that be came up with a plan and discount.
For a group buy we'd have to get 10 sets confirmed but with the regular price being $2350 plus shipping they've agreed to have me sell them for $2000. The group buy will be specific only to all 996 C2, C4 and C4S cars 1999-2004 and runs from today until April 20th.
If you are interested in the group buy please drop me an Email to alex@sharkwerks.com with your details and I will get rolling.
Just for reference here's a quick sound clip of what our C2 sounds like in the flesh. Local guys are more than welcome to come and listen to it etc...

I don't know what kind of break we could get on pricing, I just wanted to see how much interest there was, if any.
-
Anyone interested?

Anyone know if the instructions are any different for a 2002?
Thanks!!!

Just a quick note on Easy Care. They are owned by Ford but Ford is selling them to a private equity group - Stone Point Capital/Trident IV. They just announced this yesterday.
That may not mean a thing, but I'd be nervous about an investment group handling my service contract...
-
PSS9's are probably the favorite out there unless you're going to be tracking the car heavily then you may want to look at JIC's.

Anyone interested in a group buy for this?

Looking for an inexpensive flat bed car hauler trailer to tow behind my Suburban for track days.
Any suggestions other than Featherlite?

Yes, the tester wasn't concerned with the cai, the running test was the problem.
