Just call Alex and see what he says. Never hurts to ask. He listed his cell # in this thread somewhere/ Good luck.

Alex rocks!

There were a couple left and I managed to get group buy pricing on one saving me a few hundred bucks!

Thanks for setting this up SilverRules!

Got nervous when I had my commission number run because it showed as V070 status still. Turns out I now have a different commission number and I had the wrong one looked up. Not sure why, but I feel a little better now.

Hi Dan
Can you elaborate with "reverting the valves"? had mine fitted last month found it all great but if it can be made even better sounding, I'm all for it!!

Sorry - that was in response to the owner that had his valves modified to force the exhaust open all of the time. I think the way the OEM side mufflers work (opening at 3800 RPMs or whatever it is) sounds best.

Call or email Alex. He said he had a couple left so, you maybe in luck without a fresh start. But, my guess, the 2015 owners will be clamoring for another batch for group buy as well.

As ever if you have any questions etc... drop me an email to alex@sharkwerks.com . They all come with instructions (no bumper removal) but if you want it in digital format I can email them too.

We're going to be making some noise soon my friends:P

Hi.. I m very much interested in getting this exhaust. please clarify these questions

1. Does installing this void any warranty? (The service manager said so at the time of delivery)
2. If the sport exhaust button is off will it sound like stock ? ( cuz the police here usually ask sport cars to pull over and rev so that they can hear if it is modified/loud )

Being a first time porsche owner I need some help here. Especially from guys in uae.
