I have a good relationship (5th car) with my dealer / sales rep. I didn’t see any added charge for this or the clear side markers.

Vanity plate with initials is nice, reusable on every car you will own in the furure.

I'm glad that you like the sound... a lot of owners are saying the same. No rush for me to mod the exhaust will drive it a bit and I will have all winter to play with the car!

Congrats RyuBraska she looks stunning and well worth the wait! Diddo on the sound no complaints here after 700kms. I much prefer the sound to any vids that have been posted for aftermarket. As noted with WC I have messed with these things in the past and put myself in drone hell on highways and low gear cruises so will stick with P engineering wisdom. Hope to see you soon...I'm coming for you kart125!!!

Are you still staying under 5K RPM? Can't imagine when I unleash it past that point in a few hundreds kms...

Trying to yes but have snuck a little over a few times to hear her sing but mostly just to hit an opening merging onto the QW. My usual is to increase RPM over the break in kms it has worked for me in past. Sings on down shift with auto blip I expect she really opens up closer to the 8000 mark.

Does it make the sport exhaust button irrelevant (always on exhaust) or something else?

Yes sort of with the mod the exhaust valves will be on permanent open. Surprised the dealer accommodated the mod with the warranty? but some are mod friendly some not so much. Hope that helps clarify btw I think the sound is bang on!

Glad to hear it. It’s been clear to me all along that the cars sound great based on the videos, sponsored content on this site notwithstanding.

Forgot to mention it but so far I don't find the gearing to be that bad... I guess it's a good thing I spent so much time here and on Youtube, I was prepared for the worst and turns out it's not that bad

Agreed again gearing as with sound was not an issue for me. Over the 700kms I had much up & down action on the varying roads also that auto blip is the best cheat button makes you look and sound like a pro every time.

even with the sport exhaust on, the valves tend to stay closed during 2K-4K Rpm. This reversible mod means they’re always open
