Leave it fully on if you’re on a public road. Work your way down from fully on to partially on to fully off but only on a track setting. This car does like to punish the overconfident.
100. Hard to justify a non-Ti exhaust priced at $2000+ offering no performance gain when MkIV systems are $600, $700, $800. I at least know why a catted downpipe is $1000 but cannot rationalize a $2000 exhaust system... to each their own...
Jeddah looks like it could be fun:

It kind of reminds me of Assen, which is, fast, flowing, and hardly straight anywhere...
I think it did survive a few years but I also think maybe they should've made a more accessible car with a little less technology that was priced closer to $70-90K. The $150+K segment is pretty crowded between 911, GT-R, M8, AMG GT, R8, etc. and there are not many buyers to chase.
I've been and Montreal is a great venue and a great city. I speak serviceable French and never had to use it there.
Montreal is better set up to get to and from the race; it was pretty straightforward to take the metro there and back. I haven't been to Austin since 2017 or so but I felt...
So, with the Bahrain test now done:
Was Mercedes sandbagging or does the W12 have some teething issues?
Is the RB16B possibly on par with Mercedes?
I know tests don't mean all that much but it is something to talk about for the next two weeks:D
Mine took 8 days start to finish and that was after I I lost a couple days trying to order the CG Precision downpipe, which has no ETA as of right now. XPH was great.
Normally, I would say never try to compare one dyno to another but the delta (which is where you should focus) is less than I would expect. What map are you on? 1? Either way, definitely send the logs to Burger like Benjilis says. You should also go over to n54tech.com for more help.
OP, you should probably just sell the Supra now. With spring and summer coming, you'll get a good price. Take the proceeds and get a luxury sedan like an LS or an E-class, something along those lines. Those will be bank vault quiet, which seems to be what you're looking for. I wouldn't even...
What about the Titan7 TS-5? They are $2750/set: https://titan-7.com/collections/wheels/products/t-s5-forged-split-5-spoke-wheel-jdm?variant=33593304678488
I think GramLights or Work wheels would fit in the budget too. You also might be able to do 19" BC Forged wheels under $4000.
Personally...
Yes, a local exhaust shop should be able to tell OP what he needs measurement-wise and then he can get it from Summit or JEGS. I'm fairly certain HKS, etc. do not sell tips only but no need to pay $300 for exhaust tips:confused1:
Here is another nice one from Potomac up to Point of Rocks by way of River Road and Route 28:
And one more that takes John Marshall Highway west out of Haymarket and then picks up Crest Hill Road until it ends at Zachary Taylor Highway:
