Re: Does anyone have pointers to good, reasonably inexpensive, cat test pipes for 986? - 6 years ago
I've had the Fabspeed cat bypass pipes on my '02 S for many years. No problems whatsoever and the sound is great with the PSE.by JiminAZ - Main Forum
Re: I have a question (and please do NOT tell Guenter) - 8 years ago
You know, who really cares. If you like to shift a manual gearbox…..then shift!!! If you don't……then don't and get a PDK or whatever. 97% of us don't track our cars and the shifting experience should be of a personal nature. I, frankly, could not imagine not being able to shift through 5, 6, or 7 gears…..precisely when I want to…..always!! I don't race, track, do driver's trainingby JiminAZ - Main Forum
This reminds me of a GHL exhaust I had at one time……. - 8 years ago
on my 2002 S. What a huge mistake! The droning was unbearable and I had it removed and sold after just two weeks. This system looks very much the same. My final solution was to install the Fabspeed secondary cat bypass pipes. No droning whatsoever and a sound very much like the one in this video.by JiminAZ - Main Forum
Re: Exhaust recommendations - 8 years ago
I'm happy with the Fabspeed bypass pipes. Eliminates the secondary cats. Nice sound with none of the dreaded droning.by JiminAZ - Main Forum

Re: Need some advice on IMS preventive maintenance (replacement)....... - 10 years ago
I completely agree with Grant on this. Had mine done with the LN improved bearing at 40K an my '02 S and now have peace of mind. My highly experienced and regarded Indy in Tucson said they have replaced more than 50 original bearings and many were on the way to failure. They have also experienced a few blown engines. $2K sounds about right and, while in there, your mechanic can do other thingby JiminAZ - Main Forum

I had my IMS bearing replaced with the LN retrofit at 40,000 miles.................. - 11 years ago
on my '02 Boxster S. The OEM bearing was somewhat dry but not in danger of imminent failure according to my very reputable Indy shop in Tucson, Dearing Automotive. Since I plan on keeping the car, it only made good sense to replace the bearing instead of constantly worrying about it. Did the AOS at the same time as a preventative measure. Some bearings fail, some don't. I can assure you, thouby JiminAZ - Main Forum

We stayed in Charlottetown just for a day as we were on a cruise which ended in Quebec City. Since my wife's name is Charlotte, it was a special place. We were totally amazed in the diverse beauty of PEI in gseneral and certainly hope to return again!by JiminAZ - Main Forum

If you're going to do the clutch, you might as well do the LN IMS, new style RMS, and AOS........ - 12 years ago
because the removal of the transmission for the clutch job will reduce much of the labor costs for these other repairs. I recently had all of this done by an Indy and saved $$$$$$.by JiminAZ - Main Forum

Re: TIme for an exhaust thread? - 12 years ago
'02 S with '03 PSE.....added the Fabspeed Cat Bypass pipes recently and.....you just can't imagine the fantastic sound that this combination has produced. No droning......simply great sound when accelerating. Wish I had done this way sooner.by JiminAZ - Main Forum
Yo, Mike....... - 12 years ago
I agree with nearly 100% your thoughts. In a previous post a couple of weeks ago, I reported on my experience and decision to replace the IMS bearing on my '02S.......and, much, like you, I think it's a personal decision to spend $$$$ on an older car or bail out and buy something newer. But, there's also the altruistic reason for doing so......one might just happen to like and have some 'loyaltby JiminAZ - Main Forum

It's a gamble. If a person wants to keep their car....... - 12 years ago
for a number of years, it may make sense to do preventative maintenance like the IMS bearing and other things. However, as we all know, some cars never experience an IMS bearing failure. For me, it was an easy choice. The car is perfect with relatively low miles and I can see keeping it for a long time and then giving it to my son. If the bearing failed, to replace the engine would cost fromby JiminAZ - Main Forum
Cost for all was $2200........much labor involved. IMS alone would have been around $2K. - 12 years ago
