Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All!
I am new to this Forum, and so far I LIKE IT!
was wondering what mods would be cool for my 996?
Plenum?
CAI? Fabspeed, EVOMS or K&N???
any other mod you all would recomend?
Cheers!
Welcome to the group. I'm a big fan of just drive the car. If you think you need to do something do it based in need not on other's opinions. You see, in my opinion they don't need anything.
To put some finishing touches on this thread, there are few things that can make sounds describrd. Each has to be looked at, or uf u do full bore approach, do all at once to fix sounds issue.
1. Lower control arms - known culprit, squeak or thud when going over bumps. You can inspect and see bushings tears. Fix is to replace control arms.
2. Upper control arms - known culprit, squeaks over bumps. Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed. There is process to inspect on cayenne section. If you replaced lower control arms, and sounds still present, replace the upper control arms. Plus read next point.
3. Upper shock mount bushings - known culprit in air suspension, clunking sound over bumps, especially low speed. These are rubber stops inside each shock. They are supposed to keep internals aligned, but if they get worn, internals of shock stary flopping around, hence clunking sound. Remedy is to replace said bushings. I have a diy from cayenne section on how to do this. Not hard, and if youre doingupper control arms, you have to remove air shocks, giving you perfect opportunity to to replace.
4. Sway bar bushings - not as common for squeaks. Easy to replace, but i would do thease aftervabove 3 are addressed. I have diy on sway bar bushing repair on here in cayenne section, i think.
5. Sway bar links - not as common for squeaks, easy to replace. If i reolace sway bar bushings, might as well do th ese too, cheap and need removal to change sway bushings.
After fixing my cayenne which has similar noises, thst users ovserve and repair, i would tackle these noises in shown order. Very doable as diy.
Thanks all for your replies...
Car feels and runs pretty good, just wondering if by making some light mods, I can maximize its performance

. I second that . Spend the money on taking your girlfriend (etc) on a cross country trip and stay in a decent hotel.... But.. just for fun... Get some RED safety belts ... or yellow... and install a good laser / radar detector .. you might need it..
I second de events. Once you have lived with it for a while, then we can make suggestions. One of my favorites, is gt-delete. Gives me more room to move my right leg. Jb

I've had her for 5-6 years already, that's why I'm looking to moding it a bit
I'd love to see a pic of your gt-delete...
I'll 3rd the tracking comments. This is the best way to learn your car and your capabilities. Once you figure the car out go for suspension, short shift kits, racing seats........for now I would check some exhaust out FisterD or Fabspeed and if you want paint your calipers. BTW theses cars are great to DIY from oil changes to rotors and .....
Hey JB, welcome to 6 Speed. This place has plenty of great information and knowledgeable people. Make sure to check out the Fabspeed products on Fabspeed.com. We have many different options in terms of sound and power. If its a street car, I recommend going with our X Pipe Sports Cats and Maxflo Mufflers for a nice sporty sound without being too aggressive. That setup will also make 12-14+ HP and improved engine response. You can also go louder by doing our Supercup Exhaust or Catbypass pipes also. PM me if you have any questions and for special member pricing.
Thanks,

I have to agree with the others about attending a few DE events!!! You'll learn very quickly what your car may or may not need.
I must warn you though that it can be very addictive!
Also agree with trying out some track events. If you haven't done them before, it will be some time before your skill exceeds the capabilities of your car (even stock). On the other hand, if modifying is part of your enjoyment -- there's almost no end to the choices. Cosmetics (inside or outside), power, sound, handling, etc......
Thanks to all for your replies! seems like DE is everyone's choice... most definitely will have to do it... anyone knows a good start in North Texas?
Thanks Alex, got your PM, very nice...
Cheers,
Try the Maverick PCA.

Or drive down for a

event at Texas World Speedway. They are having club races there this weekend. Very fun event to come out and watch. They will let you do parade laps on the track at lunch time.
