Cant comment on that .. I had headers and exhaust for my 2007 997TT and it was awful it sounded awful and the fit quality wasnt good either. Champion MS installed so they are experienced.

I'm ordering the 4.0 steering wheel!

The black cal option that Suncoast also sells is thicker?
I have it, I think it looks better too, but you might like the 4.0 better.

My shop says 3.8 does not need bigger air intake and too expensive I think.

My heart is set on the 4.0 wheel simply because I love the look of it and steel > plastic...
That black one does look nice too mind.

If you like it get it of course.
I think it is a pity a 4.0 comes with the same steering wheels all the newer 2012 911 come, just with a red stripe. Might get a 4.0 soon, I better start liking it LOL.

Have you driven the 4.0 yet?
Is it worth the extra then, I find the 3.8 fast enough personally and much prefer the looks.

Yes, I have driven it back to back with my 3.8 at Sebring.
Drives the same just 3 seconds a lap faster. I want it more just because it exist.

No one will let me drive a GT2RS, I think that would be a bigger challenge. Not more fun maybe certainly faster...I'm looking at both in the next couple of weeks.
