I made a straight pipe for my car, with a small resonator just behind the rear axle, and it was annoyingly loud, even with factory manifolds and cats. I was going for light weight, but eventually ended up putting a muffler on, so I could drive it to events and still hear the radio!

What about a steering wheel that has a "driving mode" selector.
Almost like the new 911 wheels or Ferrari wheels.

I don't think people who buy 86s can afford this

Exactly. I don't want that hassle and cost. How about a little paint matched plug that 3m tapes on?

Might look odd? Maybe they could make something that fills it then people can wrap the whole roof to cover it up if thats the look they like?

Would look odd but would be hard to notice in the first place. I think the stock antenna is very obtrusive. A 15$ plug would satisfy me. If it was 80$ then no. But it it was cheap I'd go for it. Till I get hailed on and need paint, then it'll get bondo

Edit, also don't want something that requires paint or wrap to use

I really couldn't answer that because I only compete in one area of this platforms abilities and that's the world of drag.
For instance I had custom parachute mounting kits that have been designed for the FT86 not a off the shelf make it work kinda stuff. Also I had a drag cage with removable side bars made that passes NHRA rules that you can install your self. I know of some drifters that liked dual rear disc brake setups that are independent of each other, so those kits were made.
So since I have limited knowledge of what track guys want or need here is your chance to list the things you would like to see.
With this said remember the products you want would be designed to last cnc machined if needed high end parts. No knock offs or cheap parts brought in from some place else. SO lets have it what are you wishing, wanting, or looking for to elevate the FT86 to the next level...
I would be really interested in a full set of solid mounts for the engine and transmission.
