IMO-- it is akin (in a little way) to the Singer mantra. Why tear apart and build a custom Singer vs restoring the Carrera to its OEM spec? Well.. because you can make it yours. Make it unique. Become more emotionally attached to it , making it more personal. Make it sound better (to your ears), make it have more HP (could be meaningless but so what), make it have special stickers (911R stickers on anything not an R). I like the Dundon system. But since I have a 6 yr/unlimited miles CPO GT3.2, I don't plan to do anything at this time.

In yous guys experience, how long do these cars sit in port before getting picked up by a transporter?
Is it too optimistic to expect it to be here this time next week? (I'm a 4.5hr drive from Jax)

All GT cars get transported via enclosed carrier, Ply Car has the contract out of Davisville port. If nothing goes wrong, it can be same day. If any issues could be weeks. I assume it's GT3 RS and GT2 RS

Nope, it's a GT3 about to get unloaded in Jax ... I just ask here because that's where all the shipping nerds hang out.

I took the side cans off my .2 GT3RS and replaced with GMG elbows. Its amazing how much weight is shed, i had to lug the stock ones to my basement and they are heavy!

Sound clip attached. I still have the stock center and now the sound is perfect. My last setup on my 991.1 GT3RS was straight pipes after the headers, this is a little better, less raspy, and more bass. Also not nearly as loud. Any day now im sure my neighbors will be bringing me champagne as a thank you present for toning it down haha

My .2 GT3 arrived in Jax on 12/20 and the car was at the dealer in Sarasota 12/22. Hope the same timeframe for the RS.

Sounds good! I'm considering a similar setup, but want to keep the factory valves working, so that the car can be a 'little' quieter if necessary.

Best Regards,
Dave

I have the Fabspeed valved side muffler delete pipes.
They make just enough difference that I think its worth it.

Only they don't work half the time.

Man, sounds like my car has been sitting in Houston for a few days now waiting to get on a truck to Chicago.

It's been "V810" since Monday - Released for Transport. I'm assuming once it's "U003", Exit Port Houston, I've got about 4 days until it arrives.

Fingers crossed that its actually been on a truck for a few days now and I'm pleasantly surprised!

I dont like valved no matter whos valves, it annoys me you hear it come on like a switch, too artificial for me, i tried them, it drove me nuts

^^ No, my button on the console, or the key fobs the system comes with make it always open or always closed.
Otherwise I agree, that open/close bullshet is annoying as hell. I guess needed with the side cans creating torque down low..
