Spyder Modifications
Great thread. Engine mods too early for me. I believe the engine could use some breather but the sound is untouchable in my opinion. Sounds way better than my GT3 with sharkwerk bypass. The scoops are nice but I'm not crazy about them to get through the hassle. Love the front lid. I am going to ask my dealer to order and install it for me.

removing or adding them is also a very quick job.
Was up at DeMan Motorsports today (they built my Cayman and service my RS). For the ultimate Spyder mod they will do a 4.0L "enhancement" for the car. They've got a GT4 built with the 4L and it is wicked. Checked out the dyno and the thing makes nutty power...410 or something to the wheels. More than my 997.2 RS that's for sure. For $20k it could be well worthwhile as the ultimate Spyder mod. FYI, it is stroke not bore.

The dealer did the install and said it was pretty easy. The main lip snapped in like normal along with the vertical pieces. They had to add a few screws on the under tray. No other mods needed.
It's worth the small cost. I'm doing some other cool stuff as well. I'll post more pictures when its completed.

I will be posting up a review I received today from a client of mine named Stephen with a GT4 on the Sport Headers. CAlexio has good feedback earlier in this thread for you to reference as well. I'm shoot you over a PM directly, and I would be thrilled to work with you 

Can you pm me when you get one in house. I live about 20 min away and would love to hear one in person. A Spyder or gt4.
Installed lpd plenum and 82 mm throttle body yesterday very straightforward just a cramped project plus uploaded Cobb stage 1 map
Also FYI For those concerned about warranty , LA downtown Porsche dealer sent a new spyder to Bbi to do same upgrades plus suspension.
Anyhow it took a leisurely 3 hours
If anyone needs help trying to this feel free to pm me
Now looking to purchase some manifolds and will tackle that install next to complete upgrades
