Ti exhaust appears a given based on comments from the event and classic Ti discoloration on this spy photo. In addition to the likely 25-30lb weight saving, the exhaust will also mean different EMU programming.

If I were Porsche I'd offer a simple upgrade package for standard GT3 that included single-mass flywheel, Ti Exhaust, and RS chip. I suspect there'd be a lot of takers.
