Sure.
1: Exhaust. Buy it for more noise.
2: Program the DME. Buy this for some cheap power.
3: Intake. Buy this if money is nothing and the chicks are free.
Porsche doesn't leave much on the table power wise. Yes there is more, there always is. But its not in the intake for a streetable car. Short of yanking the cats- its not in the exhaust either. And DMEs... sort of a grey area, especially if you do have emissions testing.
Of course, you could chuck it all, throw in a monster intake, re-cam it and have a torque monster. Or you could chuck that and build a high velocity intake and have a HP monster. Or you could do what Porsche did, and have the best of both worlds.

I mean, hey! Why would Porsche not use that super fantabulous air filter/box combo for 4 gajillion more HP? I mean as a multi billion dollar corporation making some of the fastest cars on the planet- how could something so simple as a fuel magnetic ionizer get past them for an extra 20 mpg?

Porsche has to stay within sound ordinances and emissions restrictions.
Therefore- exhaust for sound. DME for power (that whole grey area with emissions).
And the intake? Porsche isn't really constrained by any legal ramifications there- so do you think that little bolt in kit is really going to pump up that engine?
