Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone has ever done the complete package of maximizing total output of their 996 GT3 by using FVD products?

Basically I received a quote prior to the winter hibernation for this system:

Exhaust System Race 996 GT3 "M&M" Catalytic Bypass, Stainless Steel, with Tips
RES 996 000 60S

Also I would be getting the IPD plenum and 997GT3 throttle body upgrade, and finally the dual Conical Fabspeed intake just to try and prove their claims as well.

I currently have Evolution Motorsport ECU mod. I would get the FVD system as well, more than likely 93 octane if available.

Basically who has done these mods (if anyone) and have you yielded any significant power boosts with dynos to prove it? Or any of these mods alone more specifically the FVD complete system and ECU? I am thinking with everything in conjunction it can yield some major results.

Thank you for your time, appreciate it guys.

 

It's loud, thats for sure:

 

I watch that video weekly, arguably most beautiful flat 6 music out there.

Anyone have any input, experience, etc? More than likely I will be taking the plunge, just hoping for anyone else who has done at least a portion of these mods.

Thanks guys

 

A very well respected member on that other porsche board tested the 997 throttle body / plenum combo and it did not deliver as promised. Internet search should help you find that data. Most of the power improvement from the 3.6 in the 996 cars to the 3.6 in the 997 cars comes from improved flow in the cylinder heads. The throttle body and larger exhaust just support the better flowing heads.

It's also popular opinion that its very difficult to improve upon the stock air box other than possibly a drop in filter. The issue with the aftermarket intake is you loose the ram air effect at speed with the open intake setups. Better money to spend there is on the ram air RS style scoop to get even more air into the system

The FvD exhaust is pure sex. I'm sure it sacrifices low end torque but creates more top end power. I'm having a similar custom setup built currently for my car
