So I'm outside cleaning the 997.2 this morning when my neighbour (Eric) from 2 doors down comes up to me and says 'I get woken by your car every day around 5:30".

'Sorry," I say 'I'll try to drive as gently as I can".

'On the contrary," says Eric, 'I think it sounds bloody lovely. I want you to give it the beans so I can hear it through the rev range... what you packing in there 350-375bhp..... '

Eric is 85 years old and still clearly a dude! :worship:
 
What a legend. Do him a favour and take him our for a spin and mount the Go pro to capture his expression. He'll love it
 
Btw do you have gundo and cross over or just gundo?

Nice story Les, I agree with FZP, sounds like your appreciative neighbour deserves a spin. :thumb:
 
Get him. Bottle of whiskey, that will sort him out!!! He'll be happy :grin:

I thought that too :floor:
 
Great story.... fair play to Eric!!
 
Great story Les and respect to Eric. Have to say though my advice to neighbors that complain about a noisey car would be to get a louder exhaust so you can't hear them complaining. Joke obviously... I'd just set fire to their house :D

Its called work :-(. I have to travel all over for my job, so it's either an early train, flight or drive.

I've got both. The Gundo by itself is Ok but still a bit quiet for my liking (I'm used to the gundo on my 996.2 which only has 2 x 'boxes). So I added a cross pipe and it all sounds lovely again.


The video doesn't really do it justice, but the X-Pipe/Gundo sounds lovely.

996.2 with Gundo.



997.2 with Gundo


997.2 with X-Pipe & Gundo

Ok it definitely requires both to release the true 911 noise.
