Best Exhaust for a 991.2 GT3
#556
For anyone interested in an Akrapovic (or any other brand system), I would be happy to work with you and have it drop shipped right to your door : )

Just had my side deletes installed, fabspeed valved, top 3 things i notice
1. louder, but different sound, more raspy, less tingy, smoother sound, and smoother transition from the valves,
2. to me, much less boomy than a center delete, it doesn't have a "glass pack" sound, more race car (only way to explain how it sounds to me)
3. It sounds clean, the sound is linear, doesn't sound like 2 different pitches, doesn't change when valves open, but enhances and is louder and has a purr to it,
The Fabspeed guys were great! I am very happy with the product, and will probably put the headers and some kind of rear muffler in the future.
I will try and make a video, I have no skills in this department and the only thing i have is an iPhone to record it, so will update soon

Side muffler deletes are what we do on every GT3 we have come through here. Not only is the sound improvement excellent (albeit subjective), it is quite the underrated upgrade for track use as it drops a noticeable 35lbs off the back of the car and reduces the heat by the engine and rear tires by a nice bit too.
So you can do side delete and retain factory center muffler? It won't "hurt" the center muffler to delete the two side mufflers?
Cost wise at least based on what Fabspeed's valved side delete costs, it seems to be similar to some popular center delete options?
Any negatives/consequences for going with side delete? Engine issues, CEL, smog, emissions, toxic gasses?? (lol)
Is Fabspeed the only company that does the side muffler delete?
I liked the description that Dougr mentioned above with the side delete vs the center delete if his sound observations generally ring true

Still learning about all of these different exhaust options, have some follow up questions

I wish people would believe me and try the IPE catback system. You get rid of side mufflers, save weight, less heat and it the rear portion has valves. Great build quality, great sound and no drone. The valves are even heat shielded. The only other route I would go is race headers. For everything else, it makes zero sense not to do IPE.

I'd be happy to set you up with one. Drdonger has a nice post farther back in the thread with some sound clips, but I'll PM you some pricing and such for the catback : )

+20 hp & ft-lb's of torque is claimed by iPE and customers have confirmed those gains as well. Now we just need a video to be shot & uploaded to support all those experiences.

Do we know if your 991.2 GT3 center muffler delete will also fit the 991.2 GT3 RS ?
Also what's the weight difference on the RS stock center section v your center section ?
Thanks
