The cheapest / easiest way go from 217 hp to 250 is...

Buy an S. Esp with the low price difference of the 986 base & S. All the intake and exhaust "upgrades" are just expensive hokum. By the time you get done spending $5-8K on hot rod parts that gain you maybe 20 hp, you could've purchased an S. Porsches are not small block Chevies, waiting for better breathing intakes and exhausts.

If you're looking for better sound, knock yourself out with an exhaust system. Don't buy it for massive gains in hp.
