Just ordered a Fabspeed 3 inch front pipe and sport cat + test pipe, the end section will have to be custom made to suit the 968. This will mate up perfectly to my Fabspeed 2.75 inch downpipe as their front pipe has a 2.75 inch flange where it mates to the downpipe which then immediately flares out to 3 inch pipe. I figured this smooth transition was the best way forward to minimise any turbulence hence sticking to the matching parts. Also I think the Fabspeed kit is great quality and fitment is good.ORIGINAL: TTM Some news from the southern workshop [] The last four days were particularly productive. We eventually put Sly's new 944 S daily driver back on its wheels, it's been running quite well. It went nesting at the back of his garage right after he bought it last year as it needed a new clutch. While in there he checked the chain and tensioner, readjusted the camshafts, checked the timing belt, took the whole intake off for a check. We replaced the clutch some weeks ago but didn't have the time to install back the gearbox and exhaust until Thursday so now it's done at last. This is the very first S we have been working on, and we were stunned at how complex and long the intake is. The butterfly is right at the back of the engine, about just over the speed reference sensor. Makes us wonder what motivated such an odd design! We then replaced the front discs on Sly's turbo with standard M030 discs and cleaned the front calipers with the pistons off. The cross drilled discs he had been using for the last two years are completely shot, probably due to intense abuse with Carbone Lorraine brake pads. We also replaced the cyl 2/3 exhaust manifold which was broken. We took part of the exhaust and the turbo off my car in anticipation of a full 3" exhaust installation which I should receive in a month or so. We also found the time to install a massive, $90 worth of front intercooler on Sly's car. Pictures to follow.
