Mods for my upcoming 997tt

I have decided to get an Tubi exhaust (thanks for comments on the previous posts everybody, I'm sure I made the right choice ), performance headers (I haven't decided on that, so I would love to hear some suggestions, feedbacks, so far I'm considering Cargraphic and FVD but i will do some more research about that), and IPD Plenum. I'm not thinking about getting an ECU upgrade yet.

And for the interior; I've the interior carbon package & carbon illuminated door sills, and I'm going to get the ignition rosette & mirror triangles from bumperplugs once i got the car. I did not get air vents in carbon, thought it would be too much, but once i saw the photos posted, i saw that it was a mistake And if I get the air vents, I would probably go for the leather PCM face (it's retro-fittable isn't it?), coz I guess the aliminum look of it wouldn't look so good with carbon. I'm also going to get Techart carbon MF steering wheel & iPod kit. Anything else i may have forgotten? any carbon ideas to complete the ambiance?

As far as headers go, Im partial to EVOMS and GMG. Both show proven power and are reasonably priced. The quality on both is awesome.

I think the carbon kit you have should be good enough, maybe round it out with an aluminum **** and pedals.

and i've heard that stock exhaust system has heat shields and tubi does not. is that an important factor? i wouldn't want to "break" anything just to have a good sound :P

aftermarket exhausts generally reduce exhaust gas temps.

Headers will not give much hp gains unless you get the modified VTG turbos. You might actually even lose low end torque.

When grouped with an ECU tune, or at least what we have tested you can see a decrease of apx 110 degree C.

to maximize the exhaust you should really look into the ecu. but evoms is quality. worked with there stuff a few times, cant complain about a thing.

take a look into unitronics software. those wizards are very oriented in custom remapping based on your mods.
