I've had both Sharkwerks and GMG and love the GMG. I have it on my RS and it is slightly louder than the Sharkwerks, but still quiet enough with the valves closed. It is a nice one piece design vs the Sharks two piece.

SW or GMG center muffler delete. That is all you need.

Congratulations on the purchase!!! If she complains that the car is too loud, she might not be the right one!

SC is a pain - try running 150 on the front straight going into a 120 deg right hander, oh, and remember to click it on... F-that.

The app is misunderstood. One RL member did a superb 3-part job of explaining how to pair it, use it, and review it. Look it up on YouTube. It's simple and comprehensive with video and lots of data. And it's free.

Of course, you don't get the wart... If that's your thing. I got both. Never again. Just the app.

Enjoy!

I'm trying to get my parts ordered now so everything arrives at the same time.
1. does anyone make a protector for the buckets so I don't damage seats getting in and out?
Interested in hearing people's solutions for problem #1. I'm aware of the leather covers that are available, but are there alternatives to that?

what are the leather covers?


I would love to get rid of the side mufflers and the rear center, does anyone make a side delete with flaps that work as well as the factory? (to quiet down when cruising)

Thanks for chiming in guys! Drone all depends on the car, the system, and the subjective opinion of the driver.

If you have a 991GT3, are running "any" side muffler bypass pipes with center muffler delete on the street and have little experience with exhaust upgrades, you likely won't be be happy with the resonance between 2-3k cruising around town or on the highway.

Valved side muffler bypass pipes alone do not cause drone on the GT3, regardless of brand. You can even combine with catted sport headers for some extra sound and power, and as long as you maintain the factory center muffler the sound with valves closed is very comfortable.

I am happy to say we make a variety of these products for the GT3. I would be thrilled to chat with anyone to determine your goals and expectations to match you with the ideal products to meet them.

1.I have the side bolster protection, its OK I guess.
2.Working on side muffler delete or maybe catless headers we can do in Florida.
3.I'm still experimenting, if you are tracking it, use the 13 pages. As soon as I can get it organized I will have the dealer set it up per those 13 pages, maybe Porsche did already do it when I dropped it off at the factory TBD.
Keep eye on track setup RS thread. GT3 setup does not work.
5. there are threads on how to use it on GT4 and GT3 sections, just search.

I'm interested in learning about other solutions though...

Also, I ordered a decal from Carreradecals.com for my RS wing. I'll let you know how it turns out...

Check out Harry's Laptimer. Great system to get you by, just need a phone mount in the car.
