Performance upgrades that don't affect warranty
 
All, what are some specific upgrades to the 2010 ptt you can do that have worthwhile (read fun) impact on torque around the city, that won't void any parts of the warranty or impact resaleability?

Thanks all!

Performance upgrades that don't affect warranty
 
Stuff that will be impactful and noticeable will affect porsche and their warranties. Easy is an air intake and exhaust
Ps welcome to the party

Are there exhaust changes that won't make you end up wasting the factory sport exhaust?

Also, is it true that the piggyback ecu units are worth it and not noticeable by factory? I read some thread recently that they can cause some damage too.

Thanks

Down pipes with sport cats and resonator delete. You keep the sport mufflers. Sounds mean.

Agreed with goon helps spool up turbo. I noticed a difference with fabspeed race cats and x pipe and meiserchaft exhaust. Of course I needed that to get the most out of my turbo build. Ecu can be detected if they do a full sweep of the car. Also keep in mind they may flag it as having something done. Won't matter til u have an engine issue and porsche says no bueno. Lol
Since it doesn't seem like you quite there to go full blown I wasn't when I bought a 4s 8 months in bought the turbo. 4 months in started getting the extreme bug. Lol.
What I'd do is find a nice set of forged wheels. I think the car is fast in stock for but to set it apart from the others is my opinion. Then address the power mods. Nothing is going to jump out 3xcept an ecu adds real about 70hp to wheels. But u need exhaust dp etc to really get to feel it. Get some nice 3 piece wheels go from there. I know a guy :)

Nice. Since I'm new to some of this, could you please provide product links? Thanks! :o

Could you link to the type of wheels you're talking about? (1)

Also, when you upgrade these exhaust components for performance, is it still nice and quiet in the cabin? (2) I kind of like how people outside the car tell me the sport exhaust sounds nice but it's quiet to me in the cabin. Ear problems...

I have 1.5 year cpo left and 4.5 years extended left after that. So I really want to beef things up, but not screw myself on the warranty side. Seems like it's a tough thing to pull off.

What's the story with some of the powerkit talk I've seen in the forum? Good increases? Warranty killer? (3)

Thanks for all the great info :)
