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.
