Cup Doors?? Dude, your car will be insane after that.

FWIW, I put the front Driveshaft back in my car and the bouncy front end went away, so I'm going to try it like this next event, you may consider adding some lead to your trunk because I can promise you when you get to testing the limits of the car you are going to find more push than you can stand, and even the DF from the GT2 Bumper wont help in low speed corners.

What about the wing!!!!!?????

I now have my Ferrari Stradale Battery in my TT, 17KG and a very workable daily solution and I keep the Odesseys in the Ferraris where I simply turn off the battery switches after every weekend

Does anyone have a fully titanium exhaust for their 996 TT around here? Sounds like truly substantial weight loss at a critical point on the car, weight distribution wise. I was reading about one today from a company named Cross that weighs between 11 and 16 pounds. Needless to say it wasn't cheap, nor are any of the lightweight exhaust solutions I've seen for the 996 TT.

Dan at Vivid used to run a titanium Cross on his yellow 996TT if I'm not mistaken. He may have more info or be able to get you one if you want it...

Cross titanium is 6k

I'd just run straight pipes and spend the money on something else ...

Straight pipes are 10 lbs. Is there really a full exhaust that's only 1-5 lbs more?

My PSI is only 15 lbs more than the straight pipes.

Cool...I was hoping you'd have the weight of straight pipes. Is AWE Tuning one of the only places that sells those? I realize many straight pipe applications might be custom. It's hard for me to imagine paying $6k - $7k for an exhaust, no matter what it's made of.
