Finally got my 996TT!

Sold my 997 Carrera today and got a low 27,000 mileage 996TT. LOVE IT. Think I'm going to keep it stock except for intake, plenum, and light tune. Will that make a big difference? I don't want to put an exhaust on cause I drive this thing daily and want something realistic sounding. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Welcome and Enjoy your new ride and this forum..
What year? X-50 ?
Just stick with the tune ,, The best bang for the buck..
You can modify your stock exhaust for a little more performance and sound But I think an aftermarket one is a better way to go for your next mod ..

Thanks man, I do remember seeing your ride cruise thru, looked sick! Not sure if the car looked the best or if your passenger did
