Not "needed" on a Porsche but significant mods for cayman - TB upgrade is an OEM part and the plenum is of way better quality than oem. Modding all cars is different.
On my 911 for example I have Headers, Plenum, filters and tune for my power mods. Thats 7K for ~40bhp.... Catback is another 6K but does nothing for power regardless of anyone's marketing material. Power is expensive on these cars. The 40bhp is insignificant in relation to the new "power under the curve" and throttle response improvements on an already stellar platform. Modding for "power" is a losing proposition on any NA Porsche. Either buy a boosted one or something else if you want something to brag about your dyno sheet over the internet. BUT, my 440bhp convertible does a 11.36 1/4 mile at 124mph... the power is extremely efficient. Also, all that time means is I can aim the car since launch control does all the work and no driver skill required. It is a mountain carver and cigar lounge for me
not a track car.
The new boosted Porsches are ridiculously fast and moddable... I'm an NA lover but was looking at a twinscrew Cosworth blower for the 86 when I got distracted with another car.... still have a soft spot in my heart for an 86 though
