That was my decision as well.

Thank you very much. Lots of hard work seemingly paying off.

Yes, thank you. Currently on a batter tender.

Thank you. All these years later I still love the exhaust note on this car. It is tough to hear via a recording, but it has a bit of a GT3 tone. Overall a great exhaust and built in NH. Thanks for your comment.

Great guess! But I got a 2019 Corvette Z06 with a 7-spd. manual.

Thank you, but unfortunately this car was sold quite some time ago.

I can appreciate liking the OEM lights better. I, too, keep my parts and these are just so easy to switch back. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for watching. I love the 997 platform and the exhaust is a nice upgrade. I went with SpeedTech and there is a video I posted if interested. I'll check them out!

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for watching! I agree and think the CD43 is the best option for improved sound and a perfect look.

I don't know for certain, but I can only assume it is due to the different suspension geometry and parts on the M3 vs the standard 3 series.

Thank you! Nothing specific for this exhaust, but in some of my other videos I do have this car doing a drive by in the beginning. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for watching! I might still have this device and since I sold the car you can have it if you want it. Let me know!

@@drcars1530 That’s mighty kind and generous of you! Of course. But how?

If you can wait a couple of days I’ll check. I’ll mail it to you if you’d like. We can email for an address.

@@drcars1530 looks like my response with my email got deleted

@@jeremiahex No problem. Contact me at dhrheaume "at" gmail.

Definitely not as nice as a Dodge. And this was definitely done for the "look at me" moment. It has nothing to do with the fact the exhaust allows the car to perform better, get better MPG, etc. I'm sure 100% of other Porsche owners (all, please back me up here) would agree that I ruined this car with the exhaust. For my sins I will either give the car away or simply torch it in the neighborhood while professing my love for other men watching it burn. Thank you for your well thought out comment and for releasing me from the shackles of heterosexuality.

@@drcars1530 I'm sorry, the mental hospital is that way... *points*

@@drcars1530 I'm going to deem you a troll, there is no way that someone can get literally everything wrong while being serious. Your attempt to play the victim while on crack is noted and please, get some help. Jesus Christ...

Absolutely! It should be a standard sound for the Turbo. Thanks for watching!

It is an aFe and definitely added some nice sound. Thanks for watching!

@@drcars1530 Thanks for getting back. Enjoy the ride and Please upload more POV videos when time permits.

@@sandman3073 You're welcome. Unfortunately I sold the car and my other M3 (f80) to head in a different direction.

Congratulations on your purchase! I do not think you will be disappointed with it as they are amazing cars. The system I bought is the full 3" X-Pipe design with the 3" dual tips (link to the system below). I do not daily drive the car so I wanted a system a bit louder and I was not/am not disappointed with my selection. I chose the 200-cell cats as well since the exhaust was more for sound and not performance, although it is significantly lighter and supposedly adds around 20 whp but I have not confirmed that. The turbos are audible now and definitely seem to spool faster, which is nice. Whatever you decide I think you will notice a nice improvement over stock, so good luck and enjoy shopping.

@@drcars1530 Thank you for the feedback !! I also will not drive this car as a daily. I spoke with John from SpeedTech earlier today and he's a total gentleman and really knows his cars/exhaust. I also want an aggressive sound, but was/am concerned it won't be over the top, tooo loud. I want the car to be heard going through town without it sounding like a jerk if you know what I mean. Lol When you're in 2nd gear going through town/20mph/3K rpm's is it rumbling strong without scaring cats into the trees ?? Don't get me wrong, I do want some bad ass sound. Also how is the drone at 55-70mph ? Sorry for the detailed, somewhat crazy questions. Thanks again !!

@@eddie1426 John is great indeed and NH is my home state so it was a natural fit. John described it as "almost" a GT3 sound and he was not far off. It does sound more exotic and certainly much better than stock. It will definitely not scare cats into trees, especially with hi-flow cats on the car, but it is significantly more aggressive and noticeable outside the cabin. The best way I could describe it is that is sounds "appropriate" for the car. I hope that makes sense. Very little to no drone with the setup I went with. I would 100% purchase the same system again. I hope my responses are of some help. Check these out for some driving sounds. ua-cam.com/video/WUkSecu2VHo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/WUkSecu2VHo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Pg-5kceqptU/v-deo.html

@@drcars1530 Really appreciate your help big time !! One more question….I know you have the 3.0 competition x-pipe full 3.0 FULL 3 Correct ? Did you go with sound level 5 “moderate loud” or “race” OR Sound level 6 “loud” or “loud” RACE. Sorry to pester you, but what I can hear on your videos I like your choice. THANK YOU

@@eddie1426 I'm happy to help. I did not go with the race as I thought it might have been too loud for what I wanted.

Thank you! It is no longer in my possession as I moved away from the M3s. I'll do a short video on why I sold both the F80 and E36 and went a different route. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It was a great car especially for being 24 years old. I am sad to report that both this M3 and my F80 M3 are now gone. So...time for something new! Thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing your opinion. I don't take it as hating as everyone has and is entitled to their opinion so it's all good! I really like the 3D lights on the 991.2 but I'm not sure anyone makes them for a 997.

@@drcars1530 I've seen a few sellers on eBay with taillights with a more solid strip led around the border of the taillight but still has the led dot design in the middle... either way, its just a slight preference for me as your taillights still look great. Thanks for the vid!

Enjoy what we can, while we can. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Absolutely disgusting practices by the world, instead of going after the real polluters they're chasing after cars. A gen 1 raptor can drive across the USA and product less pollution than a freaking weed wacker that runs for 30 minutes. Let alone chasing down the top 10 polluters....which are all ships transporting goods, burning the LOWEST quality oil possible.

time to move!

Not true

As of what i have hears, Porsche is developing synthetic man-made fuel and more efficient methods of combustion to save ICE for the 718 and the 911 models. Also a while back ferrari had also announced that they will never switch to fully electric cars but are planning to build an electric car by 2025, so we mostly see electric and hybrid ferraris in the future. Lamborghini however has declared that they are going to fully electric by 2030 which is something im against. Like why would anyone want a lamborghini that does not have a v10 or a v12. also supercars are meant to be drives an enjoyed. to me 0-60 times and Nürburgring laps are nonsense, they are only used to sell cars but really dont matter as we drive them. imo in an ideal world all performance cars like (sports cars, muscle cars, supercars etc) should be gas powered and the grocery getters can be electric which is better since it would make them more practical)

@@romirsarangi4341 Sadly it will be taxed as high as fossil fuel due to the green BEFVO laws

@@Schlipperschlopper I really don’t care about taxes, taxes can’t stop me from enjoying cars. Also cars like these are quite expensive in the first place so it would just depend on how much you make per annum

You're welcome and thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and for the positive comment! The upgrade is very easy and definitely gives the car a slightly more modern look. I always like mods where you can easily revert to stock without any damage or long-term effects to the vehicle.

Not likely. The bolts are not threaded in but permanently attached to the base of the hat. More importantly, it just made sense to replace them since I am not sure when they were last replaced. It was a fun project with low cost and high benefit. Thanks for watching and the comment!

It is a very easy change and very worth while. I found the best place to find options was on eBay. Good luck!

My omission(s) are not intentional and just having some fun working on my car(s) and trying to share some info! Thanks for watching.

Sorry you didn't like it, but thanks for watching!

I know! It would be so much easier if they were somehow accessible from the top, but I understand why that is not possible from an engineering/practicability standpoint. Now that I've done it it would be so much easier to do in about half the time. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Overall it is in excellent condition. She has her "beauty marks" for sure but looks really good for 24 years old, IMO.

Thanks, I agree! I've never understood why cars like this leave the factory sounding like vacuum cleaners. Luckily it is a relatively easy fix. Thanks for your comment and support!

Thanks!

Yeah, it doesn't really get an easier than this. But sometimes simple changes make the biggest improvements! Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it!

You are very welcome and thank you for watching! If I can help just one person I consider it a success. Happy motoring!

Agreed and thanks for watching!

I just purchased this unit to replace an aftermarket Sony radio installed by previous owner for the very reason you mentioned above. No replacement for OEM parts💪

@@dang8961 Yup. OEM+ is such a great way to improve a car.

Thanks! I remember those and probably have one in my basement somewhere, right next to my box of 8-track tapes. ;)

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked it! Sadly I won't do too much more to the car as I want to keep it as stock as possible. Yea, I'm one of those guys with my 911 in wanting to keep it stock, so I love watching all of the updates you do to yours. I have a bunch of mods done to my E36 M3 already but will be doing a few videos with some upcoming mods to that car. Thanks for the support!

Thanks! Stay tuned to find out. A couple of basic changes until the weather gets warmer.

Thanks! Will do!

Not bad, right? It was a great car and I wish Infiniti still built cars that were at least as engaging as the G37. I had a Q50 Red Sport 400 and sold it after only 6 months because although it was quick it was just boring to drive. The G37 had/has way more personality. Thanks for watching!
