Actually, great post. I have an almost identical car! except for the IMS, I have done the entire top list and agree, like them very much. The PSS9's, while expensive, are the single most dramatic change to the car I've made. Really transformational. Excellent mod if you do any track or AX.

I have a Borla exhaust. With stock 2nd cats, it was WAY too much drone. With the delete pipes, it is much more reasonable. Still don't love it, but better than a sewing machine sound that stock provides.

I too am doing the mesh grill mod, that is on the list! Would love to see picts of the other mods as you get them done. Next weekend I am going to tackle the 2 qt deep sump install from Mantis.

Too bad you are in NC, we'd be best friends :-)

Delirium- yeah the PSS9's are great. Nice ride with dampers set to soft, no lean when turned to hard. Only problem is I need a new seat! Live in the mountains and drive a lot of curvy roads, lots of fun but I get a workout just trying to hang on and drive at the same time - stock standard S seats need more bolster. I am weighing a bucket vs a sport seat - driving mostly very cure roads, auto cross, and some track.

I am kicking around this idea as well, as it is mainly my AX and track car. One really has to commit to that tho, not easy to go back and forth...let me know what you come up with!!

Great mods indeed! I've made the template for my DOG grills, and will probably start cutting them out tomorrow. I've bought 2 different gutter meshes, one from Home Depot, and one from Lowes, they will be plastic-dipped black.

eBay exhaust with secondary cat deletes
997 shifter
Clutch spring swap

Changed the way my right hand, left foot, and both ears feel about the car.

I just put the black grills on my artic silver 987 and I love them. Made in England by zunnsport. Pricey, but worth it. I also have a new set for a cayman for sale if anyone is interested.
