Default 997.1 your opinion needed - performance upgrade w/o engine tuning

Hi
I would like to ask those who upgraded the performance of their cars w/o engine tuning but using the exhaust/intake performance parts only. What products did you buy and what was the results. I do not want to touch the engine to prolong its life since I won't sell the car for a long long time.

thanks!

The car will sound louder w/exhaust.

I would invest you $$$ in driving lessons to better control the car...

get sharkwerk bypass for $2000 or so.
sounds great.
then buy a lot of tires, pads and gas.
keep on driving.
if you must, get some motons and call it a day.

or you can do what i did, strip everything off the car and lose 400 lbs.
i didn't touch the engine ;-)

OP: Did you read all the responses to your almost identical thread from 2 weeks ago?
