Porsche makes/manufactures a titanium exhaust? Very very nice car btw.. but honestly that's the first I've heard of it? Who told you that? Any chance the guy giving you the information didn't know what he was talking about?

I call BS on this one;
1. An exhaust (any exhaust, titanium or otherwise) and throttle body WILL NOT PRODUCE 140 HP. Porsche would never provide an remapped ECU for a stock, certified car as it violates Federal emmissions and even then 585 HP is not realistic. Maybe in the 520 HP range with an aftermarket tuner chip, exhaust and throttle body. None of the mentioned parts would have been provided by Porsche factory.
2. Porsche would NEVER perform "$40,000 in modifications and they were all Porsche racing modofocations (no after market products)" for free, ever on a stock TT. The simple liability would make their law suits shake in their Bruno Magli shoes.
3. You state: Remember, I had a $171,000 car. That would make your TT "S" the most expensive ever built. Mine was 4 1/2 months in Exclusive and had an MSRP of $157,775.00.
So again, I call BS on this one. Any takers?

yes i would agree on the part that not a single dealership in the world would make a 40.000$ upgrade in modification as a present. They just talking.

Love the car regardless of the bogus upgrades. No way they would chip the car...and Ti Porsche exhaust...I don't think so.
