Unless you are tracking the car, and I mean wheel to wheel not an HPDE, there is no reason for any other baffle other then stock. If your current one is cracked/broken then obviously replace it but otherwise just transfer the old over to the new plate.

It isn't how fast you drive, it's how fast you drive into turns over and over and over again within minutes of each turn where you would need anything like the x51.

Of course, it is your money & car but for a street car, it's not an upgrade but more of a waste of cash. I know guys that do wheel to wheel in 986 & caymans every weekend for the entire summer and have never needed one or had any issues.
