Technically this video is Massachusetts, but I do have some footage from the Adirondacks.

@@Poorschedriver Shit aren't I the geographer! Well they're both beautiful. Love the car.

Setup is listed in description 👍

Yes, the feeling is night and day. It's still a far cry from my 987, but there's far more feedback.

@@Poorschedriver Does it weighten up the steering rack and make it sharper on center?

@thomasz3192 it's hard to describe. It moves around a lot more than before and doesn't feel as heavy. Granted, it's still heavier than a 718 spyder I drove, but it's much more enjoyable. I haven't heard of anyone preferring the factory calibration.

Agreed, I have the same steering cal and it's brilliant. UK based. 981 cayman gts. Costs peanuts

Thank you! The burbles are definitely augmented by the headers, but still stock tune. Honestly the traffic didn't bother me too much because I had all day to make a few runs and just take it all in; I knew it'd be a busy day. Overall I hit some good roads but none translate to camera like this one. As far as winter goes, the Boxster is already sleeping on the lift, but the Cayman has all seasons! The PS4S A/S are amazing. I'm definitely not a good enough driver to need more grip in the dry, and in the wet and cold they're head and shoulders above a P Zero. So as long as it's not too slushy or salty out, I can still get my 3 pedal fix.

Mohawk trail in Massachusetts. It's fine, but there are certainly better roads to drive in America

Sorry you're mistaken! It's Mohawk trail in Massachusetts along the cold River!

@@Poorschedriver wow

The difference is usually down to having cats or not. I had a lot of seats time in a GT4 that had soul catless headers. It's definitely louder and more racy. However, that car had a fabspeed exhaust, and while it turned heads, usually it turned the wrong heads. IMO, the best compromise is sport headers with cats and the factory PSE. The car is basically stock for long drives, which is nice, and then you hit the button, and it's very pronounced. It just depends on how wild you want to go and what you can live with.

@@Poorschedriver thanks for your constructive response. But say, PSE is the base in both scenarios. Does it matter to go for the Top Speed catless header or the Fabspeed/Soul catless headers? Because the price difference is significant.

@wout-janwaslander2555 IMO having handled both products you're paying for the name. The construction looked identical to my eye. Ivd had the headers foe over a year and 5000 miles and my bocater has a tip gear exhaust that Is 5 years old and only had a vacuum solenoid fail, a $50 fix. They have great products.

@Poorschedriver awesome thanks! Most important for me is, the sound is different on YT. I think the fabspeed sounds more GT3 like, but I don't know how that is in real life.

I have same system and they come with 45 degree O2 sensor spacers. 4 months hard driving, no cel

I'm UK based and have the same system. No cel as they come with a 45 degree O2 sensor spacer. 4 months in and they sound epic

It does! It's about an inch shorter and it's wonderful. It feels like it should have come from the factory this way.

@@Poorschedriver Useful to know - thank you!

Unfortunately, yes, so I did source some defoulers, and it hasn't turned in since.

It's a day and night difference.

I'm really pumped to find out about the gt3 calibration - is it a pain to update the software and what kinda tools do I need for it?

@sevago you need the factory Porsche diagnostic too (PIWIS). You can buy a Chinese clone for about $1000 with everything you need. It's not terribly hard to do and there's a a how to on either rennlist or planet 9.

You need the factory PIWIS diagnostic tool to enable it.

@@Poorschedriver is it possible to buy this tool online? Do we have to pay for programming?

You know I've wondered that myself, but as far as I can tell, the steering wheel hadn't been modified. Maybe PDK cars do that?

Only the PDK steering wheel displays that mode. The manual is on the dial only.

I don't have any stability active. Sometimes on bumpy roads, I'll add stabilization in the post, but this road was just paved, so it's glassy smooth.

Rennline

It pulls pretty hard up Top but you need to tune it in order to see real gains. I just want the 🎶

I agree, installed headers on mine for the🎶

Yes, but to be fair, I'm a mechanic. However, with some reasonable DIY experience, it is absolutely possible in the driveway.

None

None, same setup. I bought based on this vid 😊

Thanks! I don't remember which one exactly but it clips onto the strut brace.

Flat 6 Motorsports sells a 3D printed GoPro mount for like $20 shipped.

Yes, GTS, come stock with PSE

No it doesn't
