718 GT4 Mods. Over Axle Pipes & Lightweight Flywheel. Sounds Amazing.#718gt4 #porsche . 4K
The sound of the 718 GT4 has always been poor compared to its younger brother, the 981 GT4, i wanted to change this. So i got in touch with Ninemister Porsche Specialist in Warrington and they fixed me up with some Over Axle Pipes, and a lightweight flywheel for increased acceleration, and they will soon will be fitting the Cargraphics valve controller to make the sound even better at low RPM. Huge improvement to the overall feel and drive of the car. This combination is highly recommended. Any comments or questions please drop them below. This video is not sponsored in any way. Thanks for watching. Enjoy.

MY DREAM CAR | Porsche 718 GT4! What a car
Hi Ant, does the flywheel chatter, if so how bad is it
Are there any updates for a driving video to show the changes with these mods, particularly the flywheel, and how it handles the revs now?
HI, sorry been been doing any videos lately. I am looking to start up again soon with some drive by's etc. Sound videos are very difficult get over on camera, certainly from inside the car. I will try to get some drive by videos soon. Thanks for watching
That looks insanely good!
Thank you
Does the fly wheel effect the auto rev matching for manuals?
No mate, works exactly the same. I’ve just had a valve Co troller fitted too! Sounds like a race car!
@@antscars amazing. Flywheel looks like a must have mod.
@@ConductYourself it really is mate, the pick up is sooo much quicker
Well that was dumb…. 😢
Nice. Keep the wheels gold - everyone goes black! 👌
Thanks mate, think I have decided to do that! If black think you would lose the detail 👍🏻
i not fully convinced of the logic. PPF will still stain with bird droppings and will still show the stone chips. So during the course of your ownership no benefit on asthetics. The benefit is when you peel off and reapply but generally this is prohibitively expensive. I think i’d ben doing just the sills and rear arches and respray when needed. Difficult choice
I dont mind seeing the odd stone chip as I know the paint is not effected underneath. The thing I like most about the XPEL PPF is how you never see any swirl marks on the car as the sun get rid of any slight scratches and marks in the PPF. The car always looks super glossy. Each to their own though. Thanks for the comment
@@antscars swirl point i get. Always been a bit dubious of the self healing but swirl repair is a big plus. Gorgeous car, better sans stripe.
this was not “pure sound” 😂
Idle and what appeared to be a 6yo pushing on the go pedal a few times did not appropriately represent the beautiful sounds the 4.0 makes.
Nice informative video. I'm looking to go with the Akrapovic slip-on rear section but can't make my mind up about the Akra over axle pipes. Do you need an ECU tune not only for the removal of the CEL but also for the better flow rates the OAP's give you? Did you have to have the ECU removed from your car?
Awesome job Assetti! That seems to be a very comprehensive PPF application, which I appreciate. Price? To me, the yellow calipers against the gold wheels and red paint don't mesh well. However, I wouldn't go black, as that will make those beautiful wheels disappear. Instead, I would go with a gunmetal (dark grey). Congrats on the beauty and enjoy!
Yes it’s a full coverage. And I always sway backwards and forwards on the wheels/calliper/car combination. Some like it some don’t, each to their own really 👍🏻

Didn't you get a cell light on with the OPF deleted?
They do a re map so just switching off the OPF alarm
mostly a sports car meet
It's an auto meet - trucks, cars of every variety.
Weekend canyon car perfection; Manual, Naturally Aspirated flat 6 with daily capability. The pinnacle of what a driver's car can be to be enjoyed for a relatively reasonable price when you don't go to the track. You confirm what I imagine. Hopefully someday I can actually speak on it too. For the meantime I enjoy my GSXR600. Thanks for the vid!
No problem and thanks for the comment. And a perfect description of the car! 😬
Nice! Would have liked to hear a bit more about cost and sound too! Im debating on what to do with mine
I am going to try and capture the sound somehow on my next drive out. The sound is mega once the valves are open, and the flywheel makes a huge difference regards pick up. It you go to the company where I got mine from you will get some discount if you mention me and my channel. 👍🏻 where are you based?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And he scrapped it.
I know I was cringing 😬
Luckily its only a £200 part
@@AdithyaReddy15 yes
Great review and some excellent products on display
Thanks Peter # going for a nice drive tomorrow to give it a good run out 👍🏻
Hey. I’m curious how they remapped the opf? Could they block the signal or did you do a full tune?
@@christianhallden3190 hi mate, it was a re-map switching off just that one signal, everything else works as normal, also a slight tune, up around 20bhp.
I've been strongly considering purchasing a Cayman GTS or GT4 and since I was a teenager, I've always dreamed of owning a Porsche. For some reason, I have cold feet about pulling the trigger, so I love that you mentioned that, "you only live once." My question, are all the stereo or touchscreen options, such as the Bose Stereo or GPS navigation, available for the GT4? I ask since the GT4 is a performance oriented car.
Yes mate, everything you get the GTS you can get in the GT4 as long as it’s the newer model, the 718 or 982. The older GT4 doesn’t have apple car play and the HMI is a bit slower than the most up to date version. The newer GT4 has all the things you would want and need for daily driving 👍🏻
@@antscars Thank you for the prompt response and valuable information! Yes, I'm looking at the 2023 718 Cayman GTS and 2023 718 Cayman GT4 for daily driving, so I wouldn't want a car that was TOO bare bones without a good stereo or phone connection.
@@69FOSTER no worries and yes it makes sense totally. You can’t go wrong with either! Amazing cars
@@69FOSTER If you're considering getting a new one you need to act immediately. All the rumors have the order book closing very soon if not already. My GT4 just finished building and is at the port waiting to get on a ship. It was a six or so month wait to get to this point. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do
Well done buddy....great review .... ....I'm buying a GT4 ....delivery in May....was unsure about PDK or manual....think after watching this it's manual....
Thanks mate, and congrats on the car, you will be very happy with the manual for sure!
Car is awesome!
Thank you
Next time please make volume loud
Thanks for the feedback, I am working on my sound to be improved 👍🏻
Great review mate. I’ve actually got a new one on order. I’m trying to decide about PCCBs - do you have these on yours and if so do you recommend? Cheers
Thanks mate, yes I have PCCBs on my car, was actually thinking about doing another video on the spec, what you think? PCCBs are great but I had steels on my 981 GT4 and they are more than good enough 👍🏻
They just create very little to no brake dust which I love
@@antscars yes I’ve heard this, also they are lighter, have less unsprung weight and look fantastic. Expensive but I think they’re worth it. Thanks for your input matey. Yes would like to see more reviews if you can. Cheers 👍
FABULOUS VIDEO! Very nicely done... You hit it right on the button when you said "You only live once... " My motto....
Thanks again! Yes it is very true, YOLO so do what makes you happy 👍🏻
Hiya mate-enjoyed the video-will look out for you at next meet.
Hanks mate, what you drive? I will be there again when the weather picks up
If only they had a front lift, I would buy one, but without a front lift, driving in a town with huge speed bumps is gonna be too impractical
Yes I agree, it’s a real shame it doesn’t have a lift, I g do one myself having to carefully choose my driving locations or route to ensure there are no steep gradient to flat sections. Most speed bumps are not too bad tbh. Fair point though so thanks for the comment 👍🏻
I would go black satin wheels. The red looks fantastic.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Penso che siete fortunati ! Qui in Italia L ho fatta fare la ppf ma poi ho dovuto finirmela io , i cerchi gold sono perfetti anche sul rosso , la mia è gentian blue con cerchi gold 👍👍👍👍
@@davidebonati4582 grazie per il tuo commento
2022 GT4, 18 way seats and PDK. I'm a realist. I'm not tracking this car and living in CA with a female companion in the passenger seat, all signs pointed to 18 way and PDK. Not regretting it one bit. No one can out-shift the PDK when you want to "hoon" around.
You have a fair point sir 👍🏻
I've got my eye on a Cayman GTS 4.0 with a PDK that will be arriving at a local dealer. I currently have a manual Carrera 996. My question, will a PDK transmission detract from the fun of the car with a manual or will the GTS be enjoyable with a PDK?
@@69FOSTER I think you will love the PDK tbh. I have driven a 4.0 GTS PDK and I loved it. It’s the mid engine position that makes the car special as you will know. 👍🏻 have fun in it and thanks for the comment
@@antscars Thank you for such a prompt response! I forgot to mention, I live in Los Angeles, where having a manual is great on the open road, but can be a pain in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Sounds like the PDK can provide the best of both worlds.
@@69FOSTER no problem and I think it absolutely will be best of both worlds given you will be in lots of traffic. The thing I like about the PDK is if you switch to manual and use the PDK lever as a sequential gear lever I believe it’s just as good as driving a manual 👍🏻
エコカーが世界を席巻しようとしてる中、こんな車を出すポルシェの狂気度笑
Nice exhaust!! Stock exhaust?
Yes it is 👍🏻
This thing sounds alien! I wonder what setup this car has from fabspeed.
Not many super cars thoe 👀🤦🏼♂️😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Love your review. I have a 718 Spyder with 1400 miles for purpose of weekend drives and I did spec it with bucket seats and manual. So far, I wouldn't change a thing. I also selected all the leather / carbon fiber options and Burmester upgrade (great sound). The bucket seat just look amazing and will hold up better in the long term over comfort seats. The comfort seat really wear badly along the edge where one get in and out of the car - I do not like the appearance of creased and wrinkled leather. So far, no issue with comfort with the buckets. The manual is so much fun, the auto blip makes it for me. If I was building a GT3 for the track, I would also choose the manual. Just not a PDK person.
Hey, thanks for the comment, appreciate it, and glad to hear you are enjoying the car, sounds like you have a lovely spec. Was thinking of doing a spec reveal for my next video actually.
Iv had a 981 gt4 and was looking to get into the 718 gt4 I drove one to try it and the noise just killed the car for me such a shame, I’d happily have one but I’d have to change a few bits to get sounding good, just a shame it doesn’t come perfect out the box like the 981 did
Yes I do agree with you regards the sound, and to change it of course you have a pretty hefty expense for an exhaust which of course you could do without spending. I just like the daily usability over the 981. Thanks for the comment
@@antscars a few people have said it’s a much better daily but I agree, softer clutch and smoother ride all round 👌🏻 that 4L could sound unreal though 😍
@@willwall9841 for sure mate. I actually think you get better engine noise/feedback from the PDK version
The JCR exhaust sounds mega but it’s obviously extra money and you have to consider how it affects warranty etc which is a shame. I’ve heard just removing the OPF filters also makes a big difference.
I’ve just completed a euro trip to Stuttgart and the Ring in my 718 GT4 with Carbon seats, and my back is in absolute pieces 🤦🏼♂️🫠 if track driving or worried about resale then Carbon seats, if daily and no f*cos given about resale then 18 way seats.
Hey thanks for the comment, and yes I think you’re right 👍🏻 hope you enjoyed the trip
@@antscars yeah was epic mate, both the Porsche museum and Mercedes’ museum in stuttgart are fantastic.
@@bootneck401664 sounds awesome mate. I need a road trip 👍🏻
I ordered my 718 Spyder from new with the 918 carbon buckets. If comfort and ease is your priority then get a GTS or a Macan. The buckets work fine if your level of fitness is adequate enough to lift your bum up from the seat. If not, again, get the GTS. Or better, get a fitness/gym subscription..
I currently own a 981 Boxster S in PDK form. I have ordered a Cayman GTS 4.0 and am still on the fence as to whether I should opt for the PDK or go manual. I drove my sons 997 S manual yesterday and enjoyed it so much that I am erring on the side of manual now. I won't be doing track days and don't drive in rush hour traffic. I will be driving abroad on the amazing Spanish roads and after doing this in the Boxster earlier this year, I think that the manual could be a good option.
Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you could be leaning towards the manual. I think given what you will be using the car for it could be a good option. The thing is with these cars either the manual or PDK is an awesome choice. They are just amazing cars in general. Thanks for the comment again. More videos coming soon 👍🏻
brilliant and honest review. beautiful car and your passion for it is clear. With you on that, go and get one
Thanks for the feedback Jon. Really appreciated
I bought a 2022 Cayman GTS 4.0 in July and love it. The 18 way seats are very comfortable and provide plenty of support. I have the PDK and it’s plenty engaging. I don’t track the car so didn’t consider the GT4.
Thanks for the comment Jeff, you have an awesome car, i drove the PDK before i got the GT4 and its very engaging like you say. Enjoy your car and thanks for watching the video.👍
@@kerunbindra4053 Hi, i actually did consider an F type R yes. I do like those very much and who knows it could be a car for the future. I just have a love for the Porsche brand. Do you prefer the F type over the Caymans?
@@kerunbindra4053 I didn’t. I was looking at a 991.2 C2 or the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 It was always going to be a Porsche as far as I was concerned. I drove both and surprised myself by falling in love with the GTS 4.0. It felt much more balanced and exciting to me.
The most important thing on a 718 is the valve controller, 2nd are the air filters, 3rd would be over axle pipes unless you're in the US.
You mean Europe? US cars can get OAP’s no issue
This video changed my mind regarding the carbon bucket seats 😅 When a pretty young and sporty guy tells me that even he would opt for the regular sport seats, I need to rethink my choice for my upcoming Boxter GTS 4.0. Despite they are looking so gorgeous, getting into them can be a pain. Talking about ground clearance: the GT4 is -30mm, the standard GTS -20mm with an option to only go -10mm. What would you choose if you would go for a GTS? In Switzerland, road bumps can be vicious, but from the looks I would prefer -20mm.
Hello and thanks for the comment and questions. In the boxster I would go for the comfort seats for sure. I think in the GT4 there is a perception that as its a more focussed track car, the buckets are best from a re-sale POV. And i maybe do agree with that. But yes yes the boxster i would 100% go comfort seats. I think with the std ride height of the GTS you would be fine @ -20mm. I just about get away with the GT4 ride height in the UK with speed humps, but not always, and it is annoying I have to watch which roads I go down from time to time. But you should be fine with the -20mm. That will be an awesome car. Good luck and enjoy.
The ONLY reasons to get the buckets is for custom inserts and/or harnesses. They will HURT resale badly in the future. That being said, Andreas Preuninger says the most important option to tick is the sport buckets for the feedback through your rear end. The heated seats in the Spyder might add a month or two of driving season depending on where you live. If you're actually tracking your GT4 and going to use a harness you know what to do, otherwise you'll have SERIOUS regrets.
18 way chairs on EVERY day of the week!! They are awesome. There's loads of adjustment...obviously!! Forget the added weight argument,its all bollocks!! People just want the carbon option because of what others have said,quite often with zero experience..!! Nice review. I've had my 718GT4 about two months and love it!!
@@andrewpiper2880 thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
looks like you should have bought a GTS4.0 ? how about fuel consumption with the 4 liter engine? enjoy
Yes maybe you are right, still enjoy the GT4 though. Feels pretty special. TBH I find the fuel consumption ok, motorway driving but not being too conservative I am getting just over 30mpg, and when i am pushing it hard on some nice roads (or hard for me) low 20's. But i still think it's ok to be fair. Had the 981 before this and i think it is pretty similar. 👍
@@antscars thx for sharing the fuel consumption these are indeed good values only downside here in Belgium are the very high taxes on a 4.0 ….🙁
@@cayman9815 Yes taxes can be a pain. I don't like taxes. Again thanks for the questions and for watching my video.
@@antscars reading you had 981 also is it worth all the extra money for a GT4 or GTS ? as I am considering….
@@cayman9815 I think it all depends on what your main goal with the car is. If you plan to take it on track most of the time then GT4 is the one to go with. And I believe they look slightly better with the slightly different body work/ shell construction. But the GTS 4.0 is a superb car! I drove the GTS 4.0 PDK just before getting the GT4 and it 95% of what you get in the GT4 but better comfort for the longer road trips. I just felt as I had the 981 GT4 I wanted to get into the 718 GT4 for a bit. You certainly wouldn't feel short changed in the GTS.
Got a 981 cayman s last year and am hooked on Porsche. My next car will most likely be a cayman GTS 4.0. The only thing putting me off the 718 GT4 is the low ride height. I’ll be doing euro tips, U.K. road trips etc and so many struggle with grounding out the nose. If it had nose lift I’d buy the GT4. Enjoy.
Hi and thanks for the comment, appreciate it. I tend to agree with you tbh. I love the GT4 but it can be a pain regards low ride height at the font end. 718 GTS 4.0 is a great car, you get 95% of the GT4 but in a more usable package. I may even consider swapping to one of those in the future. Thanks 👍
I have a 2022 GTS 4.0 and love it. You will too. Cheers
@@JeffJacquesmd I have never been one to be attached to a brand but Porsche has got me! I love my 981 so already know I’ll love the 4.0 GTS. Enjoy your car.
