The best time spend to get faster on the track is always going to be driver education and practice.

However, as it is clear you are not particularly interested in such statistics and rather just having fun I do think that there is value and enjoyment out of your list. Of course I can only speak on behalf of Fabspeed's products as mentioned. I imagine you will mostly use your car on the road for nice drives at sane speeds. There is a lot of enjoyment to be had from the Fabspeed cold air intake and X-pipe(though I recommend the supercup if you have factory PSE, more on that in PM).

You wont see more than 10hp from the intake, this much is true. I do not think that is necessarily a negative. It goes to show how much engineering Porsche did with this GTS, it really is a remarkable machine. What you will get is a much nicer looking engine bay and a downright addictive induction noise on acceleration. It all comes down to where and how you use your car that will dictate where your money is best spent for maximum enjoyment.

What might be awesome for you could be met with huge resistance from others and that is totally fine. Do what will give you the most enjoyment out of your car for the greatest amount of scenarios.

Clear LED front side markers too!

For less than $1,000 on a brand new 991 GTS, the Fabspeed CAI is a bargain compared to my 13 year old M3 airbox lol. Of course there is also the price of admission into the GTS club...

Joey, usually you start with a nice introduction here, and then drop the crazy questions after. You'll get more slack! Ha ha.

It's awesome you have your first Porsche. A 911 GTS is a great way to start! Whete are you from? Did you order the car, or buy it off the lot? Why did you decide on a 911?

To me its worth the investment on the CAI, it'll also be fun taking the rear bumper out and getting to know my car. I will do the CAI, PM me.



HAHA... a lot of informed people around here.

I am originally from NYC, moved out to AZ recently. I wanted to order a GTS but found a local GTS at Porsche North Scottsdale with every feature I desired so I walked in one day, test drove it and bought the car.

There is very little info online regarding the GTS and modding options, it explains why most mods are worthless on this car. I've always enjoyed modding my cars so I will keep an eye out and see whats worth doing.

Other than what I've mentioned above I guess I'll leave the car alone... for now.
