"I’ve still to this day not seen another actually on the road." That changed last month. Wonder how many there will be at the Sausage later this month!? Oh... and talking of "Carpool" in case you've all missed these, watch this one and then ALL the others (apart from Mariah Carey and Elton John who CANNOT SING no more.

Founder Beanoir™ Posted February 11, 2016 Author Founder Share Posted February 11, 2016 Another step closer! Exhausts arrived today, nicely packaged and all clean and new. Don't know what wizardry Gert performs but it's certainly a very neat job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due in my 20" sizes very soon. Info from Michelin technical manager for the UK market, Jamie, a week or so ago when I phoned him. The PS4 will build on the SS technology.

Masher964 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 So this basically offers a Mitchelin SS for a Cayman that IS N rated? Sounds great. Currently you can get the SS rears N rated but not the fronts. You'd have thought they'd have N rated whole sets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcc42uk Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 That exhaust looks epic, nice tidy job too. Was up with the guys at Precision Porsche in Uckfield last week talking about Carnewal and Gert. They said the exhausts are excellent. Apparently the standard GT exhaust sounds brilliant so your upgraded R pipes should sound mental !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, takes 60miles to get in run-in apparently but should be fine given the journey home is a few more. We'll find out later on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Beanoir™ Posted February 12, 2016 Author Founder Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Ok, so I spent what turned out to be the morning at Paragon today after arriving with my boot full of new exhausts. The job took a little longer than we hoped because of the usual seized studs! Plenty of eye candy on offer whilst you wait mind... Initial reaction was the exhaust sounded better but not remarkable but Gert did say that it would take at least 60 miles to run-in and sound as intended. By the time i'd reached Tunbridge Wells (Royal apparently) blipping the throttle was starting to sound a bit more snarly, but the time i'd reached the Dartford Tunnel it was sounding epic! So i'm pretty pleased with the result, an absolute recommendation (not that he needs it) for Gert Carnewal's exhausts. I've tried doing a video but it just doesn't do it justice. Much better in the flesh, so @jmcc42uk has just popped over and heard it for himself briefly so i'll let him comment. So this weekend will be spent scaring grannies on the high street....

Masher964 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Look forward to hearing it in a couple of weeks at the meet. I guess this will make the car too loud for track days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
