And believe me, these guys analyze absolutely every part on the car, only use what makes it faster.
A few years back, we had the opportunity to watch a series of dyno pulls on a 986 that was trying out a bunch of things, ranging from different cold air intakes, intake modifications, and filters; to aftermarket exhaust systems. And while some of these products added more noise, none of them made any measurable or repeatable power increases. So unless you are counting the weight lost from your wallet by purchasing this stuff, there ain't much to be had.
If you are out to make the car louder, fine; just don't expect real performance jumps.

Sorry JFP, my phone changed helmholz to hyperbole. It changed it to hemorrhoid in another post, so.... Hahaha.
No, I appreciate all of your responses and help. You've obviously got a great deal of experience with these cars, and your willingness to share is fantastic. Thank you.

Maytag, you don't know the half of it. JFP has provided more guidance and support to 986 owners here than you can imagine. He is always straight forward and honest with what he says and you can ignore his advise at your own peril. He has helped me with everything ranging from spark plugs to transaxle fluid and cooling systems, all within this forum.

absolutely. Thats the benefit of these types of forums: guys like JFP. And so many others, even those who've tried and failed, and shared what they've learned.
As I get more experience with this car, I'll hope to be able to contribute as well.... from both the "here's what I know" and the "here's what I tried and failed" perspectives.
