I always say headers for the 991.2 Carrera; the stock header design is really garbage. Even Porsche changed the design for the 992. Good equal length headers will make the car more responsive, more power, and increase the exhaust volume.

Spdracernut, I am good with the first two, but don't really want it much louder. Do you have an estimate on how much more exhaust noise you get with headers? TIA.

Sound is such a subjective thing, but here are two peoples' opinions:

Ive got a full exhaust and have been debating the champion/giac tune (lots of deliberation between this and cobb). Coming from a gt3 i think you may appreciate more sound and power. Although “370 is enough” most of the time. Pccb are not absolutely necessary unless you track or hate brake dust. And the AP racing brake kit looks very tempting. Honestly, both are like bringing a bazooka to a knife fight... lol.
Several members have done the aerokit spoiler which looks amazing and im jealous.
And I added carbon fiber trim which goes really nicely.

Sorry to be late to the party, but is the aerokit spoiler a different type of rear spoiler or is it that sport design front-end kit thingee?

The issue obviously is that the "spoiler" on a .2 acts more as an air scoop to feed the intercoolers...so a ducktail was thought impractical, but RUF recently released one.

good side by side of my T with cat bypass compared to my 997.2 GTS with straight pipes (full muffler bypass of all 3 cans)

The RUF GT shown at Geneva has a fixed ducktail. RUF is currently working on getting them into production. You can have the second one.

Just a quick post to say thanks for all the input here. I pulled the plug and got the least optioned manual T I could, which was hard because 95% of the inventory on the lots was pdk/sunroof etc. So far I am LOVING it. It's a true 911, it can do literally everything and make it fun. I'm really looking forward to hotrodding it. Really interested in exterior aesthetic mods and maybe a PSE compatible cat replacement as I've heard that helps with responsiveness. I might start a separate Carrera T mods thread.

Lava? Or is the sun just making GR pop? I have a hard time telling in certain lights.
