White Porsche 991 GT3 BBi StreetCup Exhaust Bypass Installation Process
White Porsche 991 GT3 BBi StreetCup Exhaust Bypass Installation Process
Shedding weight is one of simplest ways to add performance to your Porsche. Unfortunately, reducing weight on the already slim GT3 is rarely an inexpensive task and the factory exhaust system is already very well designed for optimum power delivery. The only drawbacks to the factory system is a muted exhaust note that was designed to comply with the local laws and appeal to a wide customer base, and the excess weight.
We addressed those flaws when we designed our exhaust system for the 997 GT3. Most other aftermarket exhaust systems on the market replaces the secondary center muffler and the performance gains and weight savings are minimal. The factory secondary exhaust weights approximately 20 pounds and the average secondary muffler bypass weighs approximately 7 pounds, which equates to only 13 pounds of weight savings.
We took a more unorthodox approach and bypassed the much heavier primary side mufflers. The primary mufflers are weigh approximately 44 pounds total while our bypass pipes are 4 pounds in comparison. For durability and protection against corrosion, each system is meticulously TIG welded using 304 aerospace grade stainless tubing with lower carbon content. The result is a substantial reduction in weight behind the rear axle which significantly improves handling and less restriction to produce a much more aggressive exhaust note.
One of the most commonly asked questions that we receive is about the installation process of our BBi 991 GT3 Exhaust System.
Can it be done at home? Can it be installed without removing the bumper?
Due to the size of the side mufflers, removal of the bumper is required and the installation time is approximately 3 hours. To mitigate the risks of damaging the bumper or brackets, we highly recommend professional installation at our facility or our recommended dealers. To help show what is involved, we documented the installation process step by step from start to finish below:
Bumper removed
Rear Heatshield removed
Side heatshield removed
Side muffler removed
Stock vs BBi Street Cup. 40lb Savings
BBi Side muffler bypass installed
Bumper reinstalled

It will lose a very small amount of torque but the gains outweigh the cons here.
You will shed 40 pounds of weight behind the rear axles, enhance the sound, and make a few horses at the top end.
I will send you pricing information via PM

On my 997 with the same setup you lose a tick of low end below 3k rpm torque. Under 10ftlbs IIRC? All made up before 3.5k. I can't find my dyno graph. I could not feel this with the butt dyno.
However, if you're driving a GT3 under 3k, you're not in the right gear. Especially with PDKS you have no excuse.
It does make power in the top end and sounds sweet.
You're doing this to remove weigh & heat from the rear end of the car. And the killer sound.
