Yes, it will stay quiet bypassed under the 3/4k rpm that opens the valves. With it bypassed, you can force the valves open full-time and get the audible benefit of bypass thru entire rpm range. If u force valves open with stock center muffler it is a drone/fart can in lower rpms.

I think he is conveying it will drone with the Stock rear muffler on but not with a rear bypass if you have the valves bypassed

Thanks for the report...I love what I'm hearing about the steering. Your car looks beautiful. And you have great weather, unlike some our friends East of us...
My Touring is due into Benicia on 1/5. After sitting in Emden for exactly a month, I hope it get's to the dealer quickly.

1. Steering. Nobody has mentioned this, but the biggest thing for me besides the manual was the difference in steering compared to my .1 gt3. Now it has been about 8 months since I drove the .1, and this could all be subjective. Nonetheless, I think it’s worth mentioning. The steering wheel of course is smaller, and to me it seems the initial turn in had become significantly sharper compared to .1 It is a variable ratio steering, they might have made the initial turn a little quicker to compensate for the smaller wheel? Not sure, but my brother drove it and had the same thought, sharper initial turn in. Would appreciate other’s impressions on this, it may just be subjective.
