APR Tuning Products for the Porsche 996 - 911 Carrera 3.4
he first 996s were available as a coupes or cabriolets with either rear wheel or all wheel drive and a 3.4 litre normally aspirated engine producing 300 bhp (224 kW). These cars shared the same front end as the 1996 Porsche Boxster. The design for the "fried egg" headlamp could be traced all the way back to the Porsche Panamericana concept car.
In 2000, Porsche debuted the 996 Turbo, equipped with four-wheel-drive and a 3.6 litre, twin turbocharged and intercooled flat six producing 415 bhp (309 kW), making the car capable of 3.9 second 0 to 60 mph times. An "X50" upgrade package was available from the factory in 2002, increasing power to 450 hp (336 kW) through minor revisions to the turbochargers and engine control software.
Porsche introduced a Turbo "S" in 2004, featuring the X50 engine upgrades and the formerly optional ceramic brakes as standard equipment. In 2002, the standard models underwent minor re-styling, which included switching to the Turbo-style headlamps and to a new front fascia. These were sometimes known as the Mk.II generation of the 996. In addition, engine capacity was also increased to 3.6 litres across the range, yielding gains of 20 horsepower (15 kW) for the non-Turbo models. 2002 also marked the start of production of the 996 based Targa, featuring a sliding glass "green house" roof system like its Type 993 predecessor.

APR prides ourselves on enhancing your driving experience with no compromise and our exhausts are a true definition of this philosophy. Deep unobtrusive tone at low rpm’s and while cruising with a distinct and noticeable growl at high rpm’s or deep into the throttle conjures a glorious symphony of spent exhaust gasses in your wake. Dyno proven performance increases across the powerband show that no loss of low end torque occurs and the entire area under the curve is raised to bring a smooth linear increase to red line. OEM tip fitment on most applications allows our clientele to select from a range of APR exhaust tip options or retain their OEM tips for stealth installation and even install other aftermarket exhaust tips to their liking.

APR’s strategy of engineering a full range of engine performance products for Porsche enthusiasts allows our engineering team to work “both ends” of the technologies related to engine hardware AND software, an opportunity rarely found. APR offers both an exhaust manifold replacement (headers) and a catback exhaust section. The headers are designed to efficently move air from the combustion chamber to the factory turbochargers. |
