BOB's Makeover

Are those stock cats?

but the extra weight u put on with these wheels (26 and 29 lbs?) may offset any performance gains u got from exhaust, intake, ecu tune, etc..
IMO, easiest and best way to improve ur 'Bob's performance will be to lose unsprung weight.
there is a reason why Champion or HRE cost arm and a leg..

"Bob's" just went through his most recent modification.....aesthetic rear end surgery....an Aerokit/GT3 wing. The paint and fit are outstanding!
I just ordered the Aerokit Porsche Front Bumper from Suncoast. It should be installed in the next 2 weeks. That will complete the exterior mods! At least that's what my wife is hoping for!
I will post more pics when I get the front bumper put on the car and get it out with my Canon 7D and L Lens.

your car is fantastic. while I would agree that a tune and intake/exhaust won't give you 997S performance (nothing beats displacement) will surely wakes your 997 and make it feel more alive and quick. I think you did all your upgrades very tastefully. I really love your wheels. I got an estimate for those rugers at $1500 shipped to my door. definitely tempting!

The ride with the H&Rs is a little less forgiving, but the handling around corners is noticeably better. I love the stance and look of the car with the more aggressive wheel offset though. I still consider that mod a "must do!"

Rather than pull the original stone guards off and risk peeling the clear coat, we put vinyl over the stone guards. This way, if I get sick of the look, I can just peel it off! We used the same vinyl on the rear bumper diffuser. I will probably use the vinyl on the front spoiler lip to give it some protection from scrapes.
