As for the intake, I like the 996 but you'll need to lower the motor and inch or so, or run the TB/intake tube above the engine cover. I have a friend who used a m97 cayman intake/TB on his 3.4 and didn't need to modify at all for fitment.


Looking for more Botton to Mid performance as I do not track the car.
I am aware that the eng will need to be dropped. I'm also told that it won't effect drive shaft angle or cause other issues ?

This is my master plan (I think &#128512

take the 3.2 to a 3.8 with all the good internal stuff.

- Change the intake , TB etc to the 82mm
- Update the ECM using the Softronic software
- Change out the existing header/cat to the 987 header/cat, Into sure if they will fit yet)
- cat delete the 2nd one
- use existing muffler
- check to see where it is on the dyno.
- install Trackone suspension
- Replace Mich Super sport on all 4 corners with new Super sports or Continental DWS.

After that then maybe go with the Soul header system. (From what I understand is that header will help top end but you will sacrifice bottom end. Is this correct?)


Any words of wisdom?
