That's a nice car. I think I had a look at that exact same car a couple of months ago. They had incorrectly listed it as a TTS at that time.

It is very well equipped. You got a lot of the key options there.

I love the wheels. Those wheels are quite rare.

Wish it was Camp 4S! That's on my bucket list.

I'm a blue collar Turbo owner! This was a client meeting. On my way back now! I think I am flying about 15000 miles this week between the round trip to Finland, and heading to Hawaii on vacation this Saturday. Looking forward to driving my TTS home this afternoon.

Yeah funny about that. Personally I think some of them are just a bit sore about being upstaged. Driving the 458, it's clearly an older car...not better. Speciale is a bit harsh as a DD....nice, but more of a garage queen. 488 is the better all rounder by far. That whole sound argument is stupid to me. But hey I love the sound of my TTS too so I guess I'm not qualified lol.

You pulled the trigger before I had time to weigh-in: I went through the same process 18-months ago and ended up with a high-spec-non-S turbo. I have 8k-miles on it now and DD it during the non-salt months.

You have all the must-have options. You are in for a pleasant shock.

Thanks for all the kind words. I guess someone almost pulled the trigger before me but the wife shut down the deal. Haha, my financial advisor cringed when I told him cuz hes NOT a car guy.Its all good. Ive always dreamed of owning a turbo, so it was time to do it. I will try and get some more pics when i pick it up, they are installing and doing some treatments to it. So the maiden voyage is still yet to happen

To me the stock exhaust TTS sounds lousy - like a leaf blower. But take off the cats and the car sounds soooo good and sounds good with the top high flow carted systems as well.

Sdg1871, that was gonna be my 1st upgrade in the near future.
Always have ran modified exhaust. Have a mustang gt with no cats/bassani x pipe and it sounds great and plenty loud,but with the cats on it sounded horrible and didnt run nearly as well.

Ive been researching exhaust options but am still pretty lost.i know what sound i like,but its louder than most would prefer for a daily driver

Many good choices. Have you seen the YouTube videos of my current Tubi catless race exhaust and precious Europipe set ups?
