I didn't want the panoramic roof or power tailgate anyway, but had no choice. I've got the smallest wheels that fit over the Super Performance brakes, but I really wish they'd fitted better calipers. Seats? I haven't hefted one, but from what I've heard here, that might be the place to start. And yeah, I'll bet that muffler at the back is no lightweight.

Previously it would resonate through the cabin in a way that I found mildly annoying. We'll see how I feel about it after a few days, but so far, I'm happier without the Symposer "enhancement."

After a nice hour+ drive today I'm wishing I did this long ago. The car sounds so much better now that it's just the exhaust, either in normal or dynamic. I'm baffled that this was considered better in any way.
