The .2 C2 has so much potential, i find it fast enough with a APR tune but you can always install hybrid turbos or swap them if the stage 1 tune isn’t enough for you.
Soul sport cats
Soul x-pipes if you have a non-pse
APR tune
Upgrade the stock tires
DSC box

Thanks for the valuable input guys. Minefield of info out there to go through.
Considering that we now know the headers design on the car is not the best/free flowing you guys that have done the sport cats haven't been curious to unlock additional power and sound with improving these??

Honestly, there is zero need for a Sharkwerks exhaust if you have the PSE and put the Soul Cats on. I went through the same conundrum a while back and started a thread on it. Soul Cats provided an awesome video describing how the PSE works (and why a Sharkwerks exhaust add on to it really is pointless if you decide to do the Sports Cats instead).

Firmly believe mods should be in response to what the specific car is telling you it needs. Nothing should be preordained.
Go hog wild on the open roads and report to us where you think it needs fixing. The .2 cars are studs from the factory. You might just find it needs less than you think.
Agree with above, a good first step is getting the crap oil out and some proper oil in. And clear side markers. Then drive.

I'm 100% for driver improvement. But, I am also for letting people drive what they want. If we were on a graduated license/car system, a large percentage of people on Rennlist probably wouldn't make it out of the Honda Fit. But no one on Rennlist is going to say, "You know, that 911 is too fast for you. Go learn to drive in a '91 Miata first". Let's be honest, any modern car is already doing some driving for you. Traction control, stability control, ABS, torque vectoring, etc. I don't know, as I've gotten older, I'm more about letting people do what makes them happy as long as it doesn't kill them or anyone else. Someone wants to put dubs and stance out their 911, not my style, but hey if it makes them happy.
To answer your question, I suggest high flow cats, DSC Module and Cobb tune. Try those first and you may find you need nothing else, but you may want a lot of other stuff!

So I had a bit of communication with my dealer (I’m based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) yesterday on this oil topic and it went something like this;
me: What oil do we use for the 911?
him: 0w 40
me: Can we put 5w 50 if I provide?
him: No we don’t recommend.
me: Will it void my warranty?
him: No
me: So why don’t you recommend? I’ve read that it’s better for these engines and even more so if they are being driven hard.
him: No response....
Now he may come back to me but I doubt it, but without having to gain a PhD on the subject is 5W 50 still recommended given the following;
1) Desert location and 40 plus plus degrees in the summer. Blistering heat with little to no humidity.
2) Car being driven like porsche intended with long drives at high speeds.
cheers
