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!!!!!?????

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.

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

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.
