"I've been considering R S Basn for a catback. I have his performance chip and ignition wires (last week) and have been very pleased. Has anyone tried his exhaust?"

Interest in new Fabspeed catback development?

Hi folks, I've opened a dialog with Fabspeed to build a catback exhaust system for the 968. I don't feel like there's a perfect choice for cat-back systems out there for our cars because they're…Continue

Hi folks, I've opened a dialog with Fabspeed to build a catback exhaust system for the 968. I don't feel like there's a perfect choice for cat-back systems out there for our cars because they're either ugly looking, fit poorly, weigh too much, lack customer support, lack dyno charts, lose power/tq, or crack/break after a while. Fabspeed builds excellent high-end exhaust systems but wants to gauge interest before spending time and money to develop something new for us. I've given them a list…See More

Ray Starbird replied to trevor ridgley's discussion Can we expand the latest activity stream?"Good idea, Trevor. Seems like the activity stream is a starting place for many of us, so I bumped it up to 8 items. Since that pushed the center column down, I moved the videos to the left column.
Anyone have any thoughts on the new layout?"

There are currently only 4 latest activity items on the home page but can we expand this to show the most recent 8-10? Seems like I miss a bunch of activity as a result. It also takes the stream a few minutes to update after new content is posted to the forum - is this normal? Thanks Ray.

You can also test for exhaust gases in the coolant. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions yet but you need to make sure it's not your…"
