A street car that the manufacturer encourages you to take to the track....that's why you get an extra manual just for the track. But yes...it's a street car at the end.
I don't have hard data to back up my opinion but it's an educated guess backed by 27K miles and 5 years of ownership of a 981 GT4 with a similar setup without shields....you can ask any of the 981 owners that had aftermarket exhausts, none had any problem with heat soak from the exhausts system into the suspension. But guess John from Soul would be better qualify to add to this and provide the data.

Why are they running hotter?

Consensus seems to be that emissions have forced the calibration change.

I put the pipes on and plugged the valves in. Even with the valves on, my god, what difference. I have question though, is anyone hanging their valve lines up and out of the way? If so, where are you attaching them? I wouldn’t want those lines to rub on the pipe for a long time and they seem to hang pretty low.

I'd loop them once and tie them to the aluminum V bar that holds the transmission belly pan with 2-3 zip ties.

I was just about to say that. Knowing how akra operate their opf will not fit the oem muffler ,thus forcing you to buy the akra muffler. But do get the akra link pipe and let everyone know how it goes.

Just a correction...it does work with OE centre muffler. Akra centre not required.
