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.

Earlier, I said this:
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.
I just disabled mine (sound enhancement/symposer) this morning to see what difference it made. With the active exhaust in its quiet setting, the car still gets louder at around 3500 rpm under heavy load. I can still hear the exhaust open up, but the sound doesn't increase as much, and it's clearly coming from outside. 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."
