Default 2004 911 40th Anniversary

Has any one added a performance intake and exhaust to this car? Did it result in any signiciant improvements other than sound?

You've already got 345HP and I doubt you're going to get much more than that short of a SC kit. Most of us would really like to have your package.

You guys are hilarious (it is a valid quesiton though). I'd also like to hear the experiences of anyone modding an x-51 engine with the typical mods (intake, exhaust, etc...).

The X-51 already has different (better?) headers than the stock (non X-51) engine, so those should be good to go. I wouldn't put a cold air kit on one, there have been no proven HP gains.

Just my 2¢, FWIW.

Just go for the supercharger...that wil put you around 483 hp in a just over 3,000 lb car...that should be sufficient.....
