Default Do You Mod in Stages, or Buy the Full Stage?

I'm looking for some help from my fellow RL 991.2 enthusiasts... How do you prefer your Mod Paths? A-La-Carte or Combo Meal?

I'll start! I like to have an understanding of how the integration of each mod plays out in the performance, feedback, and driving experience. So I tend to gravitate towards buying in a slow methodical (often over-researched) manner to get an understanding of cause and effect while going down this path.

We've had request for a 'stage', which I can completely understand as there is a financial disadvantage to buying parts singularly vs a 'package' price. The most common 'Stage' request is for the Vektor Performance Headers & High Flow Cats (pic attached). Would there be even further interest in if a tuning platform was added to the mix?

Thanks everyone!

For me, I like the individual approach as I like to see the results from each mod (if any are present). I also like to mix components depending on what is best for my needs and setup.

Thanks for the feedback!

Anyone else care to share their personal MOD strategy?

Because parts for these cars aren't in stock I just ordered all I needed within a few days, waiting time for almost everything is 3 to 5 weeks.

I've been lucky that most of my orders have been pushed and it looks like most are taking 3 weeks and not 5 weeks

I mod as the mood suits and the toy budget permits

It also depends on the car. Most of my previous cars (BMW's and 1 Audi) I had been hunting for them for some time, so while I found the 'one' I was looking for I would also be getting and stashing the mods I knew I was going to be doing so when the car came in I had it all installed over a week or two (myself). But these were cars that I've had prior experience with. The .2 911 is different, I think the car is so well out of the box, and I had not owned one but have plenty of seat time on and off the track in base-GT3 variants that I had an 'idea' of what I was looking for in terms of mods. For example, exhaust for me isnt getting any power out of it, but purely sound. I am temped to do headers but I am on the fence because I am not sure I like the sound of headers with a catless setup. But enjoy the PSE with catless pipes. So for me, its as the wifes mood is in before I pull the trigger on a mod or two slowly over time for the 911. :P

cosmetic all at once but performance a la carte so i can recognize each change.. e.g. how it sounds w/ just sport cats, vs then adding headers... or with my tune i drove stg1 for a while before loading stg 2
