The tips are the best part. I was unsure too until I put it on my car. Transforms the car, looks aggressive, sounds amazing, and everyone asks you what it is when you pass them on the track!

Thanks, all, for the positive feedback! We appreciate all feedback, good, bad, or otherwise, as it helps us know whether we're on the right track with products. The GT3 exhaust has been one of our most popular products as a result.
We would agree that it is one of the best sounding Porsche exhausts we've heard, which is one of the primary goals we had for our exhaust. That, after all, is the main reason why someone would change out their OEM third muffler. We found on the dyno that our exhaust did make a bit more power across the rev range, which is nice to know but isn't going to rocket you down the straightaways.
Our other primary goal is quality. While there are other products that range from fair to good in quality, at this price level you should expect exceptional quality, workmanship, and fitment. We pay extreme attention to every aspect of production, which is 100% in-house from fabrication and welding to finishing, blasting, and ceramic coating or polishing.
At any rate, thanks everyone for your business! If you're in the market for a GT3 exhaust, give us a call and we can answer any questions you have about your own application.

GT3 RS w/CMS exhaust - YouTube
This is pretty much day one and I feel it sounds better now that it's broken in a little bit. Also not very high speeds.

The CMS center delete, CMS bolt-in roll bar, and GiroDisc rotors are the only mods we made to our RS for combined street/track duty. The car is that good from the factory, just needs a little wake-up in the exhaust note (and roll bar for safety and harness mounting).

Been rotating a few center bypass mufflers and so far the CMS has the best overall sound.
A couple of install observations.
After lining up the tips, before you tighten it down, pull the muffler out towards the back of the car, so it doesn't touch the upper bracket that would normally hold down the stock muffler. Alternatively, you can remove this bracket, I left it on, after making sure the CMS muffler had clearance.
Placement of the clamps are key to a good fit without any leaks. Clamps shouldn't be too far out to extend past the edge of the mufflers. Soapy water on the clamp connections can help detect leaks.. I initially had the clamps too far out, and there was a whistle at idle.
Only a few miles so far, but the leader in the clubhouse currently.
