Best 996TT modifications

What do you guys suggest? Without going crazy. I want daily driveable, and bolt on. Is Evo the best?

Also, i see most people use 100 cell cats, how about going without cats? I always get rid of them on all my cars.

I would go for EVO Stage 4 GT/GTR, it is the perfect solution I think, without going over the top. Just ask fred, I am sure he will point you in the right direction

Without a doubt doing a DME upgrade. That's the best starting point. I went with Stephen at imagineauto.com (same thing as Todd and EVO) and he can also set you up with other bolt ons. But if I could have only one upgrade it'd be the chip in terms of how easy it is to do and how much return you get.

In fact, contact him on that "special" IA Stage IV kit first off if it's still available. But for sure he can do the GT/R kit

Alex - what is this 'special' kit??
Also, doing no cats on the 996TT is hard as you will get check engine light due to the way the O2 sensors are setup....I thinkk FVD offers a no cat exhaust system that has a way round this...

Allan I would agree that with the amount of power that u are used to with the Lambo that you would be a very happy camper with the stage 4GT. I should have my car back next Thursday with that and some other goodies can't wait. I upgraded from the Stage 4. I just love EVO

Yes Wilber but like on Tyson's car, without Cats you could use leaded gas instead of pump ****e and raise the boost with stuff like C16

if you are looking for max power and racing use no is better.(very loud)
but for the street and weekend club racing I think you should get the exhaust with CAT because you don't need to worry about SMOG chek and getting tickets!
No smog in Maui! Shouldnt be too loud with a muffler. Also, my Diablo, and 355 are catless, and the Diablo rumbles neighbor homes. Cant be louder than that.

Id think it would also spool faster without cats.
