VRTuned piggyback ECU box. IPD plenum, FVD 3 inch mid pipe exhaust with center resonator delete. OEM sport /flap mufflers.
Lowering links for air suspension, 22's staggered with 265-30-22 & 315-25-22.
No rubbing even in lowest ride height position.
Pot holes are an issue. In two yrs. I have only bubbled one front sidewall with slight rim bend.
I also purchased Prior Design Duck tail. Not installed yet.
Performance wise the car is scary fast under boost. I also have modded 996TT. I believe the Panno could spank it in a roll on top end run.
See pic for sidewall & ride height set up.
Good luck
just a heads up - I will be selling off my parts come may 1st - 2 sets of wheels (22 inch Rohana and 21in Rotiform TMB), Agency Power exhaust Titanium with 2 sets of tips (one gloss black and titanium), H&R lowering module, and the PRIOR DESIGNS PD600 kit (front/rear/sides/wing). let me know if any of you are interested or can pick up.

3) FVD Mid-pipe Resonator Delete - is there any drone? I called FVD and they recommended their mid-pipe with resonator. They said the straight pipe does cause some resonance (drone) at highway speeds. I know someone bought the resonator delete with X Pipe from Fabspeed, and they said they couldn't hear any difference.

Yup the FVD down pipes are next. My car has ZERO DRONE. Do not get the resonator version. It will sound just like the stock exhaust which as a resonator. Straight pipe makes the power on turbo cars. X-pipe loses power. FVD dynoed them both. On the highway you can not here the exhaust at all.
I also have thermal/noise insulted glass though.
My tech said the same thing, X-pipe is to balance exhaust, which is not needed unless you want to reduce sound for a twin turbo. The exhaust should be free flowing as possible to a point to let the turbos work efficiently, so that makes sense the straight pipe putting out better numbers than an X pipe.
Straight pipe is also better sounding from what everyone is saying.
I do have the thermally and noise-insulated glass - luckily standard on the executive series.
Now to find a vendor who can make a mid-pipe for the executive series.

RDS I saw your posted video and your car sound fantastic.
Just got a 2011 PTT this week. I am in love with FVD exhaust its amazing. I am thing of just doing the muffler, while keeping OEM pipes, cats and resonator/ What are your thoughts on that.
I want a "throaty" sound, but do not want to be the ****** with the loud Porsche in the neighborhood.
Also with the FVD tips do they change color with exposure to exhaust heat and if so did you think about powder coating them?
The tips do not change color from FVD. Also if u have oem sport mufflers already the exhaust sound will not change that much by switching. There is also no power gain from just mufflers. Just get the FVD center pipe with resonator delete. It provides awesome deep rumble. It also gets around 12hp/12 lb. tq. improvement.
