Yes, the centre bypass a la sharkwerks.
The car is to quiet standard, sounds almost like a vacuum cleaner

I'm planning to do some trackdays at Nurburgring, Francorchamps and maybe Zolder.

Didn't know that Zolder had a db restriction.

Thanks

What trackdays are you planning on doing?

Zolder you can forget with a bypass, Mettet will also be a problem.

Even with the valves open? You are better off installing a PSE remote on the exhaust valves so they stay open all the time and you can shut them with a remote. www.carnewal.be sells those. Install time approx 2 minutes

That way you get a nice sound and if the track has noise restrictions (like Zolder) you can just shut them with the push of a button.

Unfortunately if you are serious about tracking in Belgium aftermarket exhausts will get you in trouble. They are only good for posing on the street here. Even Francorchamps has dB limits (not as strict as Zolder but still ...)

i like gloss black wheels. i would not prefer them as track wheels anymore however since you couldn't inspect them too easily for cracks. bbs in classic grey/silver always nice touch.

BBS E88 in 18" for the racetrack, combined with a lot of negative camber

Thanks!

You just convinced me 100% to leave the car as it is.
In general I like black wheels but in my opinion it's not working with cobalt.

You´re welcome. In my opinion, it is working reasonable well with Cobalt blue but questionable if it is worth the effort. The contrast between blue and black is not that significant.

I would stay with the original state...
