If this is what the new exhaust is doing WITHOUT a tune, I've got a lot to look forward to the next couple weeks...

The SaaBeeru is back in hand. I haven't seen the final numbers, but I was told the English Racing tune put on an additional 60whp/70wtq which should mean about 240whp/260wtq, I'll post once I have the pics. 

As for what anyone really cares about- The Nameless exhaust... Fully divorced DP has been out for a bit, and soon it can be mated to a full 3 inch Catback with a resonatorand muffler delete. Tip is a dual-walled 4". The hangars are a bit over-engineered and will be simplified on the production units.

The sound is pretty well perfect and yet a bit unique. The 'gurgle' from our '11 is nonexistent. There's classic boxster rumble, very deep, and yet it sounds truly free-flowing, similar to what I get from my V8. With that kind of breathing you'd expect raspiness, but there's never even a hint. It's loud, but there's no drone at all, just a bit more bass in the road noise. Saw a 3db jump at 60. I'll get around to making some videos soon, for now: 

I'm working under the hood this weekend and next, but I did get one very useful item in- a Mishimoto Black weighted shift knob. So pissed I didn't see this 6 months and 3 knobs ago. It's 1lb and a post style, perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, their logo looks like some kind of superhero icon:

Good thing the shift pattern from my old knob was just the right size, now my interior is pretty much perfectly the way I want it:
