My GRP bypass got me pulled from AMP. Its loud.

No experience with CMS. GMG loudest I've heard; though has a little drone. RSS is best trade-off for least amount of drone relative to volume it puts out; they tell me due to actual x-pipe design cancelling drone (it's loud but I've never detected any drone on 997 or 991's). SW is the most mellow note and oem look and one that is most livable on a dd. I did experience a tiny bit of drone on 997.1 3.6 only. SW and Alex are great to work with.

RSS, SW and GMG all good products depending on what you want. GMG for sure the loudest. No first hand experience with the rest of them. So, no opinion.

Love my GMG, thats why its going straight on .2RS upon delivery! Might add GMG long tube headers for some more noise since I already have the bypass!

Anybody that lives down here in South Florida and has seen this Auratium Green GT3 in person will tell you that it is the loudest Porsche they've ever heard. Center bypass used was Sharkwerks along with some Fabspeed headers. Contact me if you'd like more info - David@WheelsBoutique.com

I have been told that my car is the loudest GT3 on the track multiple times by both people in the pit, instructors and folks behind me. On the track, I have to wear ear protection or my ears are ringing in about 10 minutes. I have no drone whatsoever. It is tame at low RPM, but once the RPMs move up above 5k, it is loud. The only exhaust I have heard that is louder are straight pipes.

Sadly, my LRP days are over.

Their LT Headers still incorporate the OEM side mufflers?

No drone with my bbi/GRP. Only track I've been on is Thunderhill and they're fairly lenient with sound. I bet I'd get flagged at Laguna though, from what I've been told.

Much appreciated

Yes, the first thing I do, after my SW is installed... disconnect the exhaust valves.
When they are connected the sound differential with flaps opening and closing while driving is very annoying to me.
I have experienced zero drone with this setup.

I had the valves disconnected for about a month but couldn't live with the drone (GMG). Drone is very subjective but for me it wasn't compatible with frequent/ daily use.

Thank you so much as this is answer I needed to pull trigger on this system ... love my Touring just want some retro exhaust sound when not fully on throttle ... roads and salt prevent enjoy my Dec 22nd delivery ... OTTAWA must be same ... thank you and cheers

ps my next option was stepping up to Dundon Street headers as everything seems to be positive and the 40 lbs of torque at 4400 rpm would be welcome in the mid range with this manual setup for twisty backroad use ... not sure if 25 lbs of less weight could be felt on road but could even out the 35 lbs drop in front windshield area from my Antigravity lithium battery

Wait, ok... is this new CMS exhaust the same as the "infinity" bypass just with separate, traditional tips? If so, I fail to see how it's any different from the bbi/GRP, which also does not have the tube in the back like CMG, and instead has the two halves joined near the tip opening. So I gotta wonder why one somehow makes power, while the other doesn't. I've never heard of a center bypass actually making power. When you get down to it, it's a glorified exhaust tip while removing a muffler.
