Best Bang For The Buck?

Im looking into to start modding my 997TT. I dont know where to start. Suspensions, Exhuast, Wheels, ECU, etc...?

Im looking at getting a short shifter. Pros & Cons?

My 997TT came with the sport shifter so I don't know the difference. I do know that the sport shifter is very notchy and mechanical but the shifts are lightening quick. If I was going to starting modding, however, I would probably start with the exhaust. The only real knock on the 997TT for me is the somewhat weak exhaust note. With a beefier sound and a few extra HP, a new exhaust system would be sweet.

Forget the springs/alignment, get the PSS10 damptronics. Best bang for the buck, IMHO.

Exhaust, best overall change you can make to the 997TT. Followed by a proper alignment and SSK, if desired.
