Recommendations/Opinion's needed for the 997 upgrade birthday gift to self
He Guys - need some input ... I have been holding back from doing mods to 997tt but can no longer resist the urge. Its my birthday and I figure this would be a great gift to myself.
Let me tell you what I have now.
08 997 Turbo Black with all red interior manual.
Mods which I have already made the decision to do and opnions needed...
Wheels - Specifically 360 Forged MB5 Matt Black - Not sure to do a red pin strip on the edge of the rim or leave all black????.
Already spoke with 360 Forged and they are great - Scott from 360 Forged spent an hour on the phone with me answering all my questions and telling me more about their product. Pulled trigger on this already.
Here is where I need more help -
1. Tires not sure which way to go?
2. Springs and Shocks not sure about this either, thinking about H&R? Want better than stock...Really hate stock ride....
3. Want to go with Europipe Exhaust, not sure to go with cat back or full?
4. Thinking about Sharkwerks Intake??
5. Flash software in car?
Anyone think of any additions that would fit nicely with the mods above without blowing the budget please let me know.....
Has any used Champion Motorsport recently thinking about getting my work done there and if anyone from Champion reads this please reach out to me...
Any input would be great.....

Thanks Nick

Wheels: No strip. Murder that bad boy out!
Tires: Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Springs: GMG or Eibach for the Turbo
Exhaust: if you do any, do a turbo back (i.e. 200 cell cats to tips)
Intake: Up to you
Flash: I like the APR but any of them are good and produce about the same BHP. The tune will work better with the flu exhaust in my opinion. Lower EGTs, ect.

Take it to Champion and ask for the works....Werks1...that is.
I couldn't be happier with my 09 Champion prepped TT.


Plus your local!!! You'll wonder why you waited so long after getting it all done!!!

Champion Exhaust
Anyone have the exhaust kit from champion? If you do ... do you have any recordings of how it sounds and performance difference?

I do not think Europipe does cat back. Europipe is a system, full only. And their 100cell cats are superb. This free breathing also releases the whine of the turbos as they spool. Just intoxicating.
Best money ever spent for me...
Tires go with Michelin PSS for every day use - do you track the car?
Compliments on the MB5's hadnt seen those, looked them up... Not a fan of deep dish, this has to be the best I have seen...

Champion uses Tubi, IIRC. Some people like 'em, others don't. Haven't ever read a bad Europipe review, OTOH.
Thanks for the heads up that's what I wanted to know. B/c I wanted a full not cat back.
I got those wheels all black including the center cap. Didn't like how the one in the pictures looked. Murdred OUT!!!!!
Question you guys know any good places to order tires...??
Haven't tracked it yet... Want to get into racing ... Going to start sometime second half this year......

I have Champion's "RACE" system, catless, which is actually a Tubi System. I personally love the sound, but it may not be for everyone.
RE: Tires, I'm a huge fan of Bridgestone RE-11's due to their price point, performance, and over longevity see thread:

PS: TireRack for buying tires.

I'd suggest;
wheels: matte black wheel, gloss black lip (if this wheel has a lip)
tune: Softronic tune rocks
exhaust: any exhaust that you feel comfortable, the big names are all roughly the same, been happy with my fabspeed so far, they make a new version, called the fabspeed race... it is AWESOME!
Tires: You will get many different suggestions. The only ones I've driven on and have been happy with are, Michelin Pilot PS2 and Nitto Invo
Otherwise I agree with the above statement.

Well, let me wish you an early happy birthday then 
Think a set of H&R Coilovers will have you sitting pretty...
