Exhaust. Not too loud, as it's a tip. But it makes the experience that much more satisfying.

If by little something you mean a subtle power gain I'd go with the RSS underpulley.

Keep in mind that this is my opinion so take it for what it is. Personally the best bang for the buck would be to sell the Tip and buy an 09 with PDK.

A day or two at the Porsche Sport Driving School.

The best money spent is to improve the nut holding the wheel.

Buy a new water pump and protect your investment, if not already done.

Get a set of GT3 bucket seats. Watch the FS ads here for a used set. Also consider tires- if you don't already have good extreme summer tires get a set. I like my Yoko AD08s. Get a more agressive alignment (neg camber in front). Those are things I've done with my Cayman and Boxster. Oh, and take it to the track at least once!
