Default Sharkwerks
Having issues finding a Dealer to install my sharkwerks bypass! How did you guys get around this? Both dealers said they won’t install anything that is not Porsche made!

Go to a local mechanic and have them do it. Just google them to make sure the reviews are good.

Best if they have a lift on which you can drive right on.... makes life even easier in case you are scared of them damaging anything.

Sharkwerks has indicated you need to remove the rear bumper for the 991.2 gt3

No need to remove the bumper. I watched as a mechanic installed my center bypass without removing the bumper. It was easy. Could've done it myself if I had a lift. Does the Sharkwerks have any additional parts that other center bypasses don't, that require pulling the bumper?

Weird. All 4 DFW Porsche dealers would do it. I know that doesn’t help you.
Its actually pretty easy to do if you can’t find someone to do it. Like others said, an independent shop will do it. You will love the transformation!

Wow... talk about "Porsche Tax"

Do you have any friends/family members who know how to wrench? Could be fun lol

Or a local mom/pop mechanic shop with a drive on lift.... should be pretty straight forward.
