Question Best mods

Just got a 2015 911 Turbo. Looking for recommendations of the best "non engine" mods. Any must haves?

Congrats - when you say "non-engine" do you mean you want appearance mods or performance mods that do not touch the engine or engine controls?

Not sure that anything is a must have. I wanted an exhaust because I liked the rumble and pop of my C2S with PSE, so I bought a Europipe exhaust.

Hello Viperz06,

Congratulations on the purchase. The best modifications in my opinion for that car without affecting warranty or drivability are exhaust and lowering springs. We offer both and we have them in stock at the moment. If you would like more information, please send me an email to Jerry@GMGRacing.com

Leave it stock but add a SharkWerks exhaust! Lots of rumble and pop! No droning!!
Adds a couple extra HP which is a nice bonus!

LexVan is right.Opticoat on the Turbo S wheels makes them easy to clean. My first change was to have Expel Ultimate applied on the full front. Considering the Europipe and lowering springs, but bone stock the TTS is outrageous.

I'm looking into this; I'm not a mechanical guy, can the dealer install this? I saw the exhaust itself is pretty cheap, around $2k. So far seems like you are enjoying this? I don't want something too loud that it draws too much attention or ruins the ride withe the little lady around town.

Yes any competent shop can install, it's easy, straight forward and priced just right IMO.
It raised the sound bar just enough without being obnoxiously loud... again IMO!
Just give Alex Ross a call. All the folks at SharkWerks are great to deal with and truly know customer service. They are not happy until you, "the customer" are happy!!

Thanks a lot, I liked the stock exhaust when I picked it in Zuffenhausen, better then expected, however just needs alittle more oomph. Should be able to re-deliver my car in next few days, so will likely try this out. Just wanted a simple solution, this sounds perfect. Thanks!
