Considering Several Modifications

I am considering several modifications to my 997TT. Could you guys give me some ballpark numbers on how much the following should cost me for parts and install?

Underdrive Pulley
Exhaust with 200 cell cats
ECU
IDP Intake Plenum

I am shopping around and need a rough point of reference.

Thanks!

Barrister,

I would be very leery of messing with the crank pulley. Apparently quite a few Gt3/RS owners are experiencing failure of the crank pulley bolts and it is unclear where the issue is stemming from. Because the block is the same I am guessing it has something to do with higher order harmonics of the engine which may cause the bolts to vibrate loose, and Porsche has been reluctant to cover these issues when the cars have even had factory ltw flywheels installed.

Some prices increased since when I bought mine. You could PM me and i'd give you my exact breakdown . Keep in mind though that there are less expensive parts than the ones I placed and many of them are outstanding. I advise againsnt the undercarriage pulley . I also feel that a quality intake could match up with the plenum well and as long as the exhaust is being installed why not include headers too . I also would add intercoolers .

By the time you are finished with a nice setup it will cost you a few bucks but it makes a huge improvement .

I actually met Mike when I visited bbi autosport in Huntington Beach. I was very impressed with bbi and will likely go with them to do my modifications.

Thanks!
