Not so big difference from the fly by sound, but I'm sure that white RS is a screamer!

Big difference in the vid. Both are deeper sounding than stock, Lava sounds almost stock but just deeper. The white sounds deeper, much louder, and has more zing (or buzz) to it.

I'm listening through ear buds.

The RS'/GT3's with the side muffler deletes that I have driven on the track showed no signs of torque loss as the revs were always over 5000 rpm's. But the cars pulled hard all the way up to redline.....and sounded amazing!!

Hey Guys,

The Lava Orange RS in the video is mine.

My car is definitely louder and throatier then stock w/ the GMG bypass. 99% of the time it is loud enough for me.

I will admit, I was jealous of Fred's white RS w/ the side-delete at the track. It is significantly louder throughout the rev range. We did a number of side by side pulls w/ the windows down and I seriously thought my head was going to explode....

As long as another RS or GT3 doesn't show up w/ the side-muffler delete you're going to be happy with just the bypass.

The other takeaways for me are:
1. I don't want to worry about sound restrictions
2. I want to be able to go long distances in the car on the road - not sure i'd like how loud it is all the time
3. I personally am hesitant w/ any sort of warranty issues. I don't want a dealer or Porsche to have an opportunity to point a finger at the aftermarket parts....


That said - both sounded awesome. If you want your ears to bleed - Fred's setup is the way to go!

Thanks for the info! Nice RS you have, LO is just amazing! I ordered the headers and rear section bypass from GMG, was thinking about the side deletes too but I'm worried about the torque loss at low rpms. If the sound is still not enough for me after I install them, then I will have to go with the side deletes too! haha

After installing several Center Section and/or Header combos in the past week, I think the GMG header and Center Section combo sounds the best but is slated more for the track oriented driver vs just the GMG Center Section, which is perfect for the daily driver......

Thanks for all the support guys!
