987 Cayman S exhaust and air filter upgrade suggestions in S/West

[Craiglm68]

Fellow Dorset-ites (?!)
Looking for some local knowledge (I'm Poole based) re suppliers of non-OTT upgrades for the current exhaust system on my 57 reg Cayman S ....a little more noise and HP would be a nice result! I've looked at the Carnewall set up from Gert and Crew, seems quite cost effective depending on who does the fitting locally. Have also had Remus mentioned and some others, so open to suggestions...am not looking for a full time rorty note, rather something I can live with on a weekend tour, but sounds nice when giving said vehicle a bit of welly!. Am only expecting another 5-8HP from anything I do so expectations are duly managed.
And air filter wise, I've heard K&N do some better breathing products that also shake loose some slightly better performance all around, again open to ideas (or is it a total waste of ££?)
Cheers
Craig

Gundo Hack (Google for info) is a cost effective way of increasing noise. Talk to Marque 21 in Bridport who have done a few 911's. Horse power gain probably next to zero though. 5-8hp gain would be difficult to notice anyway. Another club member who added K&N as well as exhaust mods experienced very poor results with nasty resonance at certain revs and reverted back to stock air filter.

Total waste of £ as you suspected
save up and get the gen 2 987
much better use of said £

all the best

Craig,

I'd agree with the other comments here.

Carnewal seem to get the value for money award from quite a few users and the BMC air filter is an alternative to the K&N offering. I doubt either of these relatively inexpensive mods will give you any noticeable or worthwhile power increase, but certainly your car will sound different.
