Hello all, I have recently fitted the top Gear bypass pipe to my 2011 997 S.
It didn't make the difference I was hoping so have now bought & fitted their sports exhaust boxes. Can anyone help me with the best place to find a vacuum pipe on the engine to tee into for the valve operation. Just needs to be a small bore pipe !
Cheers , will try & post some pictures later
 
Off hand i think you use the vacuum pipe on the airfilter box .. if you want to PM me an email addy i can send you some details of the Porsche retrofit system.

That will show you what porsche use .

yes as Iain says tees into the gen2 airbox take the airbox out and have a look you will see where it connects up to :thumb: you can see from the top pic the tee connector which I have capped off after fitting the fabspeed performance induction and YES before anyone says anything It is a 5 amp fuse I used to cap it off DIY at its best :grin: :grin: but it gives you an idea of where to look

Thanks for that, will get on to it in the morning, just that & the solenoid to wire up now, Top gear said they pick up a power supply from the wiring harness on the right hand side of the engine, so that looks fairly straight forward.
Had the car about six weeks & love it, had a 993 20 years ago & always wanted another.
Mods so far, DSC box, wheel spacers & exhaust. Was going to lower it but with
The DSC box of tricks I now don't see the need.

Sounds like you have picked a nice set of mods to start with , I really would suggest you get a pr of BMC oval sports air filters in that airbox . with the DSC lowering would be mainly for athstetics :thumb: :thumb:
 
would be great if you can get a nice video of the top gear exhaust.
 
Well all up & running, thanks to Phil & demort for your help with vacuum pipe.
I did use the one you showed & also took the power from the plug to the solenoid mounted on the air box. Does anybody know if that's the Porsche sports exhaust one ? Just wondered if they fitted it as std even if the car does not have the factory sports exhaust.
Will try & get video & photos up.
 
Im not sure thats the best place to take the power from .. there is a light in the boot lid ? that might be better .

Insructions for the Porsche exhaust if needed .. just need an email addy to send them to .
