Did your inserts come from them?
Post a pic or two if you can.
What did you do to make your 718 unique?

Fantastic!! The inserts look great, making an already highly unique car a one-of-a-kind. Groovy is a fitting description, that's for sure.Mojonito wrote: Tue Feb 07, 2023 5:34 pmGroovy baby!blueline wrote: Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:42 amThank you for the feedback!

I have a 718 GT4 and I'm waiting on a 718 GTS 4.0. The one thing I'm not thrilled with re the 4.0 is the sound. The 981 base Cayman I used to own and the 981 Cayman GTS that I still own sound better IMO. I'm not looking for louder, just a better tone and less drone. Soul X-pipe was recommended, but I have yet to pull the trigger on that mod. Opinions?

Soul oap and exhaust hit the sweet spot. Especially if you get a valve controller to open when you feel like being wild!Eric2016 wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 4:08 am I have a 718 GT4 and I'm waiting on a 718 GTS 4.0.

‘18 GTS/6-MT: Michelin Pilot Winter tires on 19” Zuffen wheels.
Changing to the SOUL X-pipe will make virtually zero difference in the sound.Eric2016 wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 4:08 am I have a 718 GT4 and I'm waiting on a 718 GTS 4.0.

Best bang for the buck is AOP- you have choice of straight thru(competition) or Reasonated(slight quieter, helps with drone).
From there you can do a valve controller if you want more.

I think what he means by x pipe is the exhaust section mixing left and and right exhaust banks together to get more of that sweet high pitched scream. Most of the exhaust rear sections from different manufacturers do this well. I’ve heard several in person and I’ve owned two set ups. I think the soul oap (gives more volume) mixed with the soul valved exhaust is the perfect set up. Sounds good at high revs, when the valves are working it minimizes the drone to oem volumes, then you have valve controller to turn it off when you’re feeling wild. Whenever you get over 4K rpm valves always open so you get the beautiful sound.yellolab wrote: Fri Feb 10, 2023 5:48 amChanging to the SOUL X-pipe will make virtually zero difference in the sound.Eric2016 wrote: Wed Feb 08, 2023 4:08 am I have a 718 GT4 and I'm waiting on a 718 GTS 4.0.

I personally think the race exhausts magnify all the bad sounds. Maybe leave oem oap on if you go that route.Mojonito wrote: Sun Feb 12, 2023 6:36 amI think what he means by x pipe is the exhaust section mixing left and and right exhaust banks together to get more of that sweet high pitched scream.
