Interesting. I'm about 5'9" (maybe little less) and the harnesses have been working very well for me with stock roll bars. In fact, I strap myself in so tight that it makes me scoot down slightly. So, for me, the harnesses work with the stock roll bars.
I can't speak to HANS compatibility since I haven't used one with stock 987 roll bars and harnesses. Instead, I wear a thick firm foam neck collar on the track. These are often looked down upon as not providing much/enough protection, but I can't move less than an inch in any direction (360) and they at least provide sideways protection unlike HANS.

Still not perfect since ideally the mounting points should be slightly below the shoulder.

I can't quote you exact numbers, but the stainless steel version is definitely lighter than the OEM non sport exhaust (which is lighter than the sport).
No doubt your GT3 sounds worlds better. I'm tempted to do the bypass on the 991GT3 as well. It will take some custom work to get the car to pass 90dB... what a travesty MRLS is becoming...

Is it possible to add those supertrapp discs to your turnaway pipes? Sharkybypass, with sharky turnaway pipes that will still pass Laguna is the holy grail...

I know, I know. I want a HANS, but it won't work with my shoulder belts. I'm gonna take a look at the simpson R3.
No track day in April. I'm renting out the skidpad at Thill in april so I can destroy my OEM BRZ tires and learn how to drift. LOL.

Thank, Alex. I was relieved that the exhaust passed with zero issues, but it also underscores how sedate the exhaust is. LOL.

Hmm I think it _is_ possible to do that for those cat-pooper scooper turn-downs... You could be right. I'll give you a set to play with when need be. Would be interesting? Plus it would look amazing

This is really good news man... A lot of folks wanted the answer to this. I usually tell them I "don't think so".... Gives us hope eh?

You'll be hearing from me after the GT3 is delivered

Sounds like a plan mate!
This is so easy to install on the 991's:

And the track tips can be used on it so you could play around with those and super-traps. The weirder they end up looking the BETTER

This was as weird as we could make it look... but we wanted to maintain the integrity and always still be able to use them as cat pooper scoopers when not on track

Yeah, I like the design, but they still won't pass 90dB sound, which is why I started to think that adding the supertrapp discs at the ends might be the ultimate solution.
