Sorry if this is already on another thread as I know that there's been plenty of commentary on the Sharkwerks bypass, but 4 questions:
1. What's the total cost fully installed on the bypass?
2. Any downside to the higher decibel level on interior noise (e.g., headache from long road trips)? Or is it that significant inside?
3. Any downside from a resale perspective?
4. What's the estimated power gain from the increased airflow?
Thanks!

1. What's the total cost fully installed on the bypass? $2,500 +/-
2. Any downside to the higher decibel level on interior noise (e.g., headache from long road trips)? Or is it that significant inside? no droning. it is louder, so subjective. Beautiful sound however.
3. Any downside from a resale perspective? remove and sell separately.
4. What's the estimated power gain from the increased airflow? Nothing really; Sharwerks cautiously claims maybe 5-6 iircc.
Thanks!

Sharkwerks bypass is like $1500.
Porsche charges like $150 an hour for service
This should take less than 2 hours to install. Do not have to remove rear bumper. I always make them note how long they work on my car to make sure I am not getting screwed

My Sharkwerks rear bypass arrived on Friday. Couple things to note. The quality and finish is exemplary. Also; it is a lot lighter than I expected. Really light weight. I have to admit I am impressed. Now my car could be back from Port this Sat.

Awesome! Did you get diff exhaust tips too? Or sticking with the stock ones?

I am going to stick with the "stock tips". From my understanding you can not place larger tips on the car anyway. You may be able to find lighter ones' though. I did find ones that were encased in Carbon Fiber that looked really cool but I question how they would endure under the extreme heat

Do you have have then guarantee the time it would take to do something like the Sharkwerks?

has anybody done a dyno of their car before the Sharkwerks and after the Sharkwerks?
I would be very interested to know if there is any HP increase after installing the bypass.
