BBi and I partner on this, and yes we seem to be selling he majority so BBi has been a great partner for us.

Why go GRP? I think quality is top notch, best you can get. I also think customer service is top notch, best you can get. I think you can ask several clients on here and they’d all agree with that. In this industry, that’s a big point of differentiation, and as a previous customer Before i started this business, i know customer service could be improved in general!

Id love to earn your business and loyalty. Please email me at gr@grahamrahalperformance.com and we can discuss further!

I like BBI, they just take forever to deliver a product.

We have one system left in stock i can ship today!

I can say that GRP treats customers exceptionally well. After contacting them, they had it shipped out the same day so I could have it installed the following day. One day later Graham Rahal contacted me directly to make sure I was pleased with the product and service. Needless to say I love the product and the whole transaction was a delight. Thanks again to Graham and the teams from GRP and BBi.

I'd also like to hear opinions on Sharkwerks. I would prefer a slightly higher tone, and do like the option to use stock tips.

Thank you for mentioning us! Both BBi and GRP exhausts are identical. We have a partnership with Graham Rahal to do a co-branded product so we build and ship them from our shop. The only difference is the logo. Here are some quick video clips both various BBi and GRP exhausts in action for your hearing pleasure

I'm actually very close to Huntington Beach. Are there GT3s there where I could listen to those center sections? Listening on YouTube can only do so much.

Interesting, I believe that Martin Barkley (MBRP) actually makes GMG's exhausts; or did at one point.

Just installed SharkWerks on my 991.2 GT3 Touring.
Excellent fit, customer service and sounds.

These types of threads are just a "XXXX show"

There are plenty a thread covering this so one should do there homework than just throwing chum in the water.

BBI/GRP is the same product. Very good product with a deeper growl but very PORSCHE-like, with a nice volume blast

GMG makes a very good product and let your own ears tell the difference between them and GRP/BBI

Sharky makes a good product that retains the stock tips or you can pay up for their 100 mm. Their sound remains stock but takes the volume up from 7 to a 9 but will not change the tone like the ones above- which for some is fine

I am running the GRP and very happy. I ran the SW on my 991 and was happy but I prefer the deeper growl from the other vendors but that does not make one better than the others'

Little off topic, just noticed Touring has different air intake.
