Welcome Nathan. I agree with Aadjan, your car looks great. The 964 fold are coming out of the woodwork. Good to see.

My next project for the Carrera "Joerg" is a sports exhaust. I've been thinking about it for a while deciding on wether to buy or build a setup. I like the FVD exhaust but it's far to expensive. Fabspeed isn't an option either. The Bursch sport muffler seems like the best way to go. I have heard a few clips of it on YouTube and it sounds great. I'm not after something excessively loud, just deeper with a slight increase in noise.
Any tips?

Any tips?

OBX headers and build your own, I'm using OBX and a GT3 muffler.
I landed a set of headers for less then NZ 600.

Chris, as built we can only get 1.2 camber this is how they do it.

As for mods, I'm still researching, but they centre around getting more camber adjustment in the front. Normally done with GT3 LCAs. Maybe put 7mm spacers up front as well to widen the track. I'll fit some track pads, probably PFC 08, which work well on the 964. Then the big one is track wheels and tyres. In my experience they take seconds off lap times. However, it's a big cost. Most of all though I need insurance...
Yeah, I'm sure I can find a session to get the tyres sorted before the 28th.

As for mods... Your doing much the same as me, from my research there appears to be quite a clear path people take with the cayman's being:
Adjustible LCA's and toe links
Adjustible sway bars
Desnork the intake
IPD plenum and GT3 TB
Headers before exhaust
Improved brake ducting/cooling
Obviously pads, fluid and tyres etc...

Mines already got endless pad in it, not sure of what fluid although I have a couple of bottles of SRF to go in some time...

RaceBrakes recommended Pagid yellow RS29 pads, which I've had in the RS4 before... Felt good on track but started squeeling within a day on the road...

This session on the 28th is it a Rennsport group event at HD? Is it ok to come and watch? I'm learning car photography so might be a good chance to play with the camera.
