That exhaust note is excellent. I feel the same way about people noticing driving around like a hooligan and not wanted to seem like a tool, but after enough weird looks it becomes more easy to ignore. The old people in the neighborhood give the meanest glares even when I am keeping it tame. Just gotta enjoy yourself
@@ObsessedGarage I mean I'm only 26 and have gone through it already. It really hit me when I got the corvette and the exhaust is so insanely loud, but it is so much fun to row the gears and hear the sounds, but I'm sure non car people hate it. At some point I just said to myself, what are they gonna do? I'm not gonna let someone who has no effect on me take my enjoyment away. And occasionally I get people asking me to rev it and do fun stuff too which only encourages me more. You going to get a new wheel stand with the code I gave you or wait until I get my next batch and can sell them in bulk to you?
You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend recently :)
Flat 6 nirvana. Sounds good! Something about that "pissed off banshee chasing you" I hear in the GT3's that I'll always love, but this is a close second.
Car sounds incredible. Your analysis of the "boomy" drone sounds like my thought process too - albeit in a slightly different application living in the truck world. Life's too short for stock exhaust.
Chill videos like these are goals/motivation! I'd love to be able to work out something like this with my generic 335i. Wouldn't be as interesting nor entertaining but still fun #notcopying 😅
Hey Matt, great video. Would love to see you install the valved Soul exhaust as well. Initial impressions on Rennlist look like the best all round option thus far. Would be great to hear your thoughts before making a final decision.
Beautyfull GT4, one of the greatest pure driver cars of the moment. I now wath you mean if your feeling not good if People look at your car well you driving it, and you thinking by yourself that there are People that are jalous that you have some Beautyfull cars. I experience the same feelings when i driving my M4, lotus exige and M140i. Do wath you have to do because than you are happy in your life, enjoy driving your cars, detailing, and put some great aftermarket stuf on it.. Greetz from Belgium!! I am a big fan of you😉😎
Really enjoy your videos and content. I am curious what you did with the factory vacuum lines running to the Porsche Sport Exhaust? When you disconnected, did you plug the lines or leave then open to ambient air? I ask because I recently installed a race exhaust which on my 981 gt4. The shop plugged the vacuum lines and after driving it for an hour or so after the install I received the "Cooling system fault" message. I called the exhaust manufacturer and they told me to unplug the vacuum lines, reset the fault message and all would be fine. Apparently the vacuum system on the PSE affects other Cross Over Valves on the car, and when the system detects a change in vacuum, the car displays the "Cooling system fault" message. Just curious to see if you heard of this and when you did with the vacuums. Thanks
I don't know if its the final export bit rate or what but there's just something off about the video quality for the hardware being used. It looks really compressed.
Great video as usual. Any chance you’d do a video comparing the different blue paints between the GT4, E92, and Civic? Also, plans to wrap/respray the RS haha??
@@ObsessedGarage Yeah something is off. I assume you decompressed it with GoPro Studio before editing it? Because I had similar looking results before finding out that was even a thing.
Hey Matt, cool video I’m glad you’re loving the car always looking forward to the next video thanks for doing what you do Hope the therapy continues to work have a good one👍
OPF-delete is a must for these cars. No idea why they're selling them like that outside of Europe. I'd personally keep the stock PSE muffler, and go for Soul's competition headers instead. Judging from the videos comp. headers + stock muffler sounds better than stock headers and Soul muffler.
Glad you're able to get more driving in and put some miles on the great cars you have! Maybe you can venture to some tracks days soon and have your fun there so you dont lose your license lol. Congrats on your progress!
He has a hard time driving more than a few miles from his house. If he passes out driving it ruins a car. Higher stakes if that happens on a motorcycle.
I had a YZF-R6 back in 2004, but I was scared to death on it. I got pulled over on my maiden voyage to red line going 87 in a 35. Sold it and got it out of my system. I will never have one again.
@@ObsessedGarage Well that would just about do it 😆. My thoughts on bikes have always been that they fit in well as a track only solution for those of us that can't bear the mechanical sympathy of tracking a car. Because they are more cost effective and the lower weight is easier on the tires, suspension, Brakes, fuel, engine etc...
long gearing argument usually comes from people who've never driven the car. I own a 981 GT4 and on track, the car actually feels that it has shorter gear ratios than my previous 991 3.4. This car is a blast on public roads and closed courses.
Over video the exhaust sound gives off a rattle, almost unpleasant at times especially on deceleration, buzzy with hints of small displacement yet somewhat deep tones. I’d dial it in some more for my taste
Yes, I just pulled them off and tucked them up under the heat shield. I didn't plug them. No CEL. I don't see how it would be possible to get a light from pulling a vacuum line for valves.
It's funny you asked this, cuz I think I asked him the same thing maybe like 3 yrs ago. And I've been driving like that ever since lol. It actually helps. If you're slightly moving, it feels like you have to force the gear shift into 1st gear sometimes. So doing as Matt does, usually gets rid of that.
See website I’m getting the whole system for my B9 RS5 Inconel. They do have one for the new GT4, check them out if interested www.kline-innovation.com
Matt, have you thought about selling the GT3? I agree that the manual is just so much more engaging plus you have way more fun per *speed unit*, since you're rowing your own gears. I have a ZF 8-speed on my tuned 435i and man, those speeds get to "jail instead of ticket" range pretty quick. I still remember my first beater 1.6 with a manual and RWD and boy, was that fun. Beat the snot out of it and you're still doing like 70. :D Glad to see you having fun instead of stressing!
@@ObsessedGarage Having been in both the E92 does rev up pretty high, but I feel like the GT3 is much more exciting closer to redline. It's hard to describe but the GT3 feels more like a race car, which I guess is its intended purpose.
Nice drive Matt. How’s the intake sound after the exhaust mod, seems like it’s a bit less prominent than before or is that just the mic? Lastly, no need to rant about those negative people in the comments, just let them be and stay true to yourself. We watch your channel for the original content, negativity only distracts from this! 💪
Wich depreciation? Here they dont. Same price since at least 2years. For shure cars with a lot of miles are less and it depends of the spec but i can see that a lot of them also got sold, evnt bcs of the fact that we can not remove the opf and there were much less made, at least until now.. both fantastic cars. I like and drove both, for me there is no huge difference.
You said it’s the Carrera S engine. Prove me wrong but didn’t the 718 version of the GT4 got a completely new engine developed...? Since it’s a 4.0 rather than a 3.8 in the original GT4...
Whenever I feel like I've got people watching or thinking I'm a knob, I just remind myself I'm probably never going to see them again so what's the point in stressing. Plus chances are they won't see you through the tint
Funny you say that about caring about what others think. I still drive the way I want, but I have noticed as I get older, I do too feel guilty for ripping on it. Most people take it personally and think you are an ass, but you can't change how people are going to react. As long as you aren't being a dick to them, then I think it should be ok. What is interesting though is that you can change how others drive based on how you are driving. I have a Corsa exhaust on my SS 1LE and even when I am just on the freeway just normal driving , some get so offended when I downshift with the rev match on and then start acting all crazy. As is in life though, perception is reality. I just try not to worry about it. Out here though every once in a while you will get someone who gets super offended and will do stupid shit. I have been followed a couple times and flipped off a few times, usually when the happens though I DO exercise the power and will put some distance between the crazies.
I don’t understand why you didn’t want to drive your car on a track? It’s much safer and in my opinion way more fun. Get yourself an instructor and learn the proper lines and braking points. With time you will develop your skills and you will be buying tires every two months.
That car sounds amazing the way it is now. The exhaust isn’t loud enough to overpower the sweet sweet engine sounds. They sing in harmony 🎶
That exhaust note is excellent. I feel the same way about people noticing driving around like a hooligan and not wanted to seem like a tool, but after enough weird looks it becomes more easy to ignore.

It's really weird. I used to revel in it when I was younger. At some point I started worrying about what other drivers were thinking.

Yes, more driving!!
This guy is a car god in my book..
this is exactly what I needed, absolutely love watching some raw pov driving makes me want to go out for a drive if it wasn't storming here currently
“take it to the track bro “ hahaha
Flat 6 nirvana. Sounds good! Something about that "pissed off banshee chasing you" I hear in the GT3's that I'll always love, but this is a close second.
My heart skipped a beat when that cop came over the hill! Good thing you got those badass breaks!
Ha, ha... That camera didn't show how hard I was on them as soon as I saw him coming.
Camera never does it justice, but it still looked like you went from about 90 to 50 really really quik! 😆
Time code?
Oh yeah, 9:40
Car sounds incredible. Your analysis of the "boomy" drone sounds like my thought process too - albeit in a slightly different application living in the truck world. Life's too short for stock exhaust.
Car sounds epic!! Look forward to hearing it finished!! Porsche still one of best sound na out there! Scary good😁
Love the smell of alcantara in the morning, thanks for the lift Matt.
Sounds like a cool therapist although it seems different that she basically said go ahead and speed.
She knows I'm super cautious and is pushing me to just enjoy the ride rather than obsessing about what other drivers are thinking.
Sounds great!
Downshift to second next to that wall sounded great!
Chill videos like these are goals/motivation!

Thanks Matt I like the video...
Sounds great. Love it.
Hey Matt, great video. Would love to see you install the valved Soul exhaust as well. Initial impressions on Rennlist look like the best all round option thus far. Would be great to hear your thoughts before making a final decision.
Yep, I'll be doing that for sure.
Like the color of your GT4, a great choice.
Thank you for another great video! We've got the rest of your components coming up in the pipeline! - Mike
Hi Matt, car sounds epic. Quick question. How’s those bucket seats for comfort being a taller dude? Low back comfort?
Thanks
They are super comfortable.
Calling that a tunnel is like saying you are going to the mountains in Florida.
Sounds really good! Is this auto rev match or are you doing the work?

The exhaust sounds really good
Glad you like it! - Mike

Great audio this time but the picture looks like graphics from a Commodore 64!

I just watched it. It's looks terrible. Sometimes the GoPro doesn't doe well on upload.

Thanks for the ride Matt👊🏼
Wasn’t a big GT4 fan until you got one🇺🇸💪🏼
Such nice, smooth roads in your area
waiting for the first wash of the GT4 after the coating

Have you ever owned a motorcycle before Matt? Just started looking at a new BMW s1000rr and got me wondering what your opinions are on the segment.
He has a hard time driving more than a few miles from his house. If he passes out driving it ruins a car. Higher stakes if that happens on a motorcycle.
I had a YZF-R6 back in 2004, but I was scared to death on it. I got pulled over on my maiden voyage to red line going 87 in a 35. Sold it and got it out of my system. I will never have one again.

Want to get Matt wound up just mention “Graphine, Straight Pipes, SI O2, or Dallas Paint Correction” in a sentence in the comments
Ha, ha...
Can you compare a GT3.2 to a GT4? If you had to have one
long gearing argument usually comes from people who've never driven the car. I own a 981 GT4 and on track, the car actually feels that it has shorter gear ratios than my previous 991 3.4. This car is a blast on public roads and closed courses.
I always enjoy your driving videos 😉!
Nice move on that Lotus, gassing your GT4 as you passed, making more noise for him to enioy. lol
Is this the Soul competition or resonated over axel pipe?
Comp
Over video the exhaust sound gives off a rattle, almost unpleasant at times especially on deceleration, buzzy with hints of small displacement yet somewhat deep tones. I’d dial it in some more for my taste
exhaust ?
Great car! Also love your garage setup too
Do you just disconnect the braided valve hoses and plug them up without getting engine fault lights?
Yes, I just pulled them off and tucked them up under the heat shield. I didn't plug them. No CEL. I don't see how it would be possible to get a light from pulling a vacuum line for valves.
How dark you going with the tints?
Hey Matt, what’s up w going to 2nd then 1st when your on a stop? Does that make it easier on the synchros or something🤔
It's a habit I developed when I first started driving. Now I don't even notice that I do that. It does make it easier to enter 1st.
It's funny you asked this, cuz I think I asked him the same thing maybe like 3 yrs ago. And I've been driving like that ever since lol. It actually helps.

I'm really hoping Matt does the race headers. It's gonna sound beast.
It's going to sound nasty.
@@ObsessedGarage Sometimes in life, you just need more nasty.
@@ObsessedGarage That 981 with Dundon Race setup you drove a couple years ago in the Smokies sounded insane.
At least your roads are smooth

It is still really balanced sounding between exhaust not and intake.
Sooooo gt4 vs gt3rs???
Your car is just like mine is to me....it's my therapy
Great Video
I love Porsche 😍😍😍
Does unplugging the valves on the 718 give you any code errors? i am UK based
No, it doesn't.
This thing sounds amazing. Where are the salty 981 owners who bash the 718 through and through because they don't want to take the depreciation hit?

It's a bored 4.0 liter derived from the 3.0 C2S engine with the turbos removed.
@@ObsessedGarage So basically it is a new engine just used in the 718 models based on an „old“ engine. Learning more everyday!🤓🤩👌🏼 didn’t know that!

Watch out for deer, they’re in rut
Drooling over the sound, fix the gearing but... joke joke
How about a sound compare video? One GT for 10 seconds then the other GT. Flip back and forth.
I live in a world of stock exhausts because the ford 3.5 ecoboost twin turbo sounds like garbage lol
9:40 did you shit it? haha
Are we doing some cheeky heal toe action Matthew or is the GT4 Rev matching? Either way it’s boss Mr M....
That's the AutoRev match.
