I have, but I am not convinced. I did the plenum (NOT IPD) on my 996tt, and saw no real gain. I am just not sure that the Porsche engineers did such a bad job of designing this part, that a simple upgrade will make much of a difference. A tune, and open exhaust all make sense. This is a DD for me, and I am not all that interested in going wild with it.

Many guys lower their CTT air suspension with either software or lowering links. I have my preference, but either is fine. The former is just a simple recalibration inside the OEM software.

Sooo my newish 2013 CTT will be delivered next week.
Man do these depreciate.... 16 months of ownership and the first owner lost $65,000, for 29,000 miles of use. It is pretty loaded: Sport, Premium plus, Burmester, extended Espresso/Cognac, 21's with painted arches, ect.
So on to my questions:
1) Anyone have the espresso floor matts? How do they hold up?
2) a good basic mod list:
1) GIAC Tune
2) Fabspeed cat bypass
3) Airmatic lowering links
4) Black out all of the alu-chrome with wrap / Black powder coat rims
5) Acid Green brake calipers
What do you think of the mod list?
I am hoping the mods will help the CTT keep up with my wife's X5M (My old DD)!
Thanks,

The X5M (e70) and the CTT are very different vehicles. After a lot of seat time in both I guess it comes down to:
1) the CTT is a nicer place to be, and to drive slowly.
2) the X5M is more dramatic, with an amazing exhaust note, stunning power, and much better handling at speed.
It just depends on what you want, the X5M is more of a toy and the CTT is a relaxing DD. If it is important, the X5M gets far more attention than the CTT.

But none of that makes the X5m a better DD. Exactly the opposite infact.
For me it comes down to the toy factor, is this going to be a utility DD or a toy? The CTT is a better DD the BMW is a better toy.
I am looking to lower my 11 Turbo with links - which ones did you go with? The last thing I want to do is hurt the ride quality that it is has now with PDCC.

I used the airmatic evolution links. I think the real key is not trying to go too low. I only lowered my by a bit less than an inch. On lowest setting it is at about the loading level.
