Thought I'd chime in and say I've been absolutely THRILLED with my shark werks + valve disconnect. Zero drone on the highway, and just enough volume and grunt down low to make slower driving entertaining but JESUS does it ****ing scream up high!
Leaning towards SW as well for the OEM look, glad to see you are pleased with it!!!
It you plan on doing track events, the stock exhaust will be your best choice IMHO. I have seen a several cars black flagged for loud exhaust at a couple of tracks lately; AMP and Road Atlanta.

Well stay tuned, I’ve got a solution for that in the making! 💪🏻
Could you share more details of what you're planning?
Let me prove it out on a customers car first, then I’ll share. But this is specifically designed for those who want the Bypass but also need to be able to track them at lower decibel facilities!
I personally prefer the stock center, with the side muffler bypass w/valves. The TPC Racing version is what I have, because it has the flexible upper joint (like stock), which is key for stock center longevity, and it sounds perfect. Still use sport exhaust button, but it's louder and more aggressive with ZERO drone. Plus, you lose 40lbs of dead weight from the absolute best place on the car. So better sound and handling. Win-win.

How loud do you need to be to get black flagged for an exhaust? Both places are kinda remote so I'm surprised
I had the GMG headers and exhaust put on my 991 GT3 RS, and I must say it sounded much better after the install.
From the factory the sound did little to nothing for me, personally. I was looking for a louder/more deep sound and the GMG headers and exhaust gave me what I was seeking.
I can't speak to the other systems out there, as there are quite a few now. I do know that I didn't look any more after having installed the GMG setup.
How loud is this setup when you're just cruising? Its easily one of the best sounds out there when ripping it but it does seem like it could be a hair loud when combining both the headers and the bypass when it comes to that low bass when you're cruising in lower rpms...

What are the pros and cons of this solution vs the center muffler solution? Sounds interesting.

Do you know what the decibel limits are at your local tracks? We have been able to pass on noise restricted days at Laguna and Sonoma with our diversion pipes.

How does this diversion pipe mount to the bypass exhaust during track use? Do you have pictures with the attachment hardware in place?

IMO, there is no con, except cost. This is why people do the Center bypass, because it's typically ~$350 vs ~$1750. But there is a reason that Cup cars don't have side mufflers......
It removes 40lbs from the rear of car
It retains full sport exhaust button function (for street cars)
It makes a little power
It creates better handling
It is a tad quieter than center muffler delete
It offsets the weight gain of a rollbar install
I prefer the TPC design over Fabspeed, because it has the flexible upper tubing, which is same as OE.
