When I bought my new '17 TTS, I tried hard to keep the stock exhaust, hoping I would get used to it and sort of liked it, but to me it sounded more like a vacuum cleaner and did not match the caracter of the car at all.
I got the Sharkwerks, as I also wanted to keep the stock cats mainly to keep full warranty, and I'm very happy with it as it sounds just like a proper aftermarket exhaust should sound.

As we all prepare for the 2020 track season, what's the latest on tires?
I ran the Cup2R's this fall, and they were 2 seconds or more faster than the standard Cup2 at VIR...for about 3 solid days. After that, they gave up some grip and I finished up the season with them at Sebring with what I expect was about the same grip as Cup2's, but the tread is shot and I certainly didn't get more than 8 track days out of them. Of course, I just got a new set of both Cup2R and Cup2 N2 to be ready to have fun starting in March at VIR.
What's everybody planning to do for tires in 2020?

Past season:
Tires I am thinking to try on the upcoming season:
- Trofeo R mainly (Fastest)
- Cup 2 N1 (I was on stock wheels and couldn't fit N2 or Cup2R sizes on them) - About 0.6 sec slower than Trofeo Rs in a 1:46 lap.
Tires I am thinking to try on the upcoming season:
- Goodyear 3R
- Nankang AR1
- Hoosier R7 (I wish there were A7s in 20s but there isn't to my knowledge)

I can look into options for you. What would be inexpensive in your book?

Ideally less than 3k. The goal is really to just get 265 & 325 (eventually when Trofeos come in that size) to fit with my PCCBs. I can't be too picky on weight without having to pay Forgeline or FI-R pricing lol. This is purely for track. I have set of E89s for the street

I'm not sure. I pulled my wheels and have HRE R101LW's, but also steel Girodisc rotors and a half cage, so I'm probably heavier than that...probably pushing near 3400+ with a full tank of gas. I haven't weight it in this configuration yet.

Latest additions, front replica GT2RS bumper and rear decklid and wing. Could not quantify the impact because I changed my suspension settings and ran a different engine map as well.. but recorded two lap records in two different circuit 3.5 mile + configurations during the last time attack. So it seems to work somewhat.
Next going in is a larger custom CF rear wing, custom wing uprights, rear GT2RS diffuser and front custom splitter extending by about 5 inches.

Remember to think about venting the front wheel well. The lift caused by that area is considerable. Porsche ran their record runs with the rock grills in the vents removed because it helped reduce lift so much. Jean, your car is getting pretty fierce, but clearly your driving is a considerable factor, too.
