I know this is probably a thread that has happened time and time again, but figured it would be fun for the new members to see.

My fearless predictions are that we will the following kinds of mods listed, but eager to see what else turns up of course.

1. Aftermarket shifter (ie: Porsche SSK, Porsche 997, or B&M)
2. Aftermarket reflash (ie: your favorite tuners brand here)
3. Aftermarket exhaust (tons of options here too)
4. GT2 style clutch (GT2 master/slave)
5. Aftermarket wheels (HRE, Fikse, BBS, etc.)
6. Aftermarket suspension mods

Obviously there are tons of mods out there, but please list your favorite mods that you've done to your own 996TT! Since I've only done the shifter, that's all I can really speak to in the way it transforms the driving experience.

 

Does everything count?

 

Dammit! No, since your car is probably 25% Porsche and 75% aftermarket you definitely don't count!

 

My top 5...

1. GT3 Console box delete. I hated that box pressing against my leg. Best mod.
2. Aerokit. Looks fantastic. Gets rid of the stupid wing problems forever.
3. PSS10's. Much better feel and stance.
4. EPL 16/16G's and flash. Wakes it up!
5. DCT XL Steering wheel. Just perfect.

 

Thanks jjbravo...that's definitely the kind of list I was hoping to see. I'm curious if anyone will list a RWD conversion on this list too.

 

1. EP Exhaust, nothing like killer exhaust sound
2. Good tuning (not everyone's doing it right)
3. X73 suspension, perfectly balanced from the factory and wont cost an arm and a leg
4. GT2/3 brakes, the other side of going very very fast.
5. I cant say enough about my 997GT2 seats, the best seats for street and track driving.
6. GT2 front and rear, this is how the turbo should have been made.

 

1. Europipe Exhaust fantastic and epileptic noise
2. Complete body on carbon-kevlar ( +2.5 inch breath each side on rear = beautiful rear fat - front as a shark)
3. Complete MOTON suspension
4. Calliper 6 piston on the front 4 on rear GT2 brake
5. Fikse wheels
6. Rear wheel drive same as GT2 but mine bone is a TT ...... with full factory options

 

1. Markski
2. Tial alpha 3076's
I'll keep you posted on the rest

 

To start, the mod that impressed me the most was a good flash.

Once you change the turbos out, sometimes overlooked items are better ICs and intake piping.

 

best mods for the buck???
There really are no best mods, they are all Expensive and the Porsche tax is a Killer! In saying that i love every mod i have done! LOL

To bad i did 2 other ones long ago and pull them off so i could go faster!

 

Best mod was the 996tt! I upgraded from an "05" Subaru STi 2 years ago!
Does that count?

Best mod so far was the Speedtech 76mm Cross-Flow exhaust, definitely sounds intoxicating when driving!

Best future mods will be some suspension bits; JRZ RS coilovers, GT3 control arms, sways, etc.

 

1. Markski 850 GT30(something) turbos
2. Porsche SSK
3. Marks 3" X exhaust (very GT3)
4. twin Tial 44mm BOV!!
5. I almost forgot my Proto tune so nothing blows up.

 

1-Markski K24/18g's set up and the PROTO tune.
2-Fabspeed 1' gene. 100 cats


3-my new girl friend

 

What up Steve.. I'll have you play w/ my car once the UMW package is finished.. I went all out. Owning two 996TT in the last few years., my mod list in order is;

1. ECU Flash - Pick the right tuner.. all of them are great.. some are just better
2. SSK (same as urs)
3. Wheels (can't be like the next guy, differentiates you)
4. Coilovers
5. Exhaust - I'm getting old.. drone no likey.. but I got the Europipe Loud - yes.. it is loud
6. Aero kit.. techart rep front bumper.. something to make you different and make you turn around after you park your car everytime.. pathetic.. but you can't help looking.
