I have had several of Sharkwerks pipes for various 911’s in the past few years. Great product and service. I just bought one new in December and used it for about 1000 miles and installed in my .2 GT3, but I am selling it because I am getting a full system soon. PM me if interested.��

CJ, not sure where you are getting your info but that couldn't be farther from the truth!

I don't have any fancy videos, advertisements or anything else, but I will restate what I did in another thread about this, which was exhaustively covered previously, but I have been really enjoying the GMG version on this vehicle for a few months. Do not know much of the other versions, although they seem to look very similar. Hadn't heard much of the other ones when sourcing a bypass for this car back in the Fall. Since then there are supernumerous advertisements and videos of the other brands, but I stand by the product I bought. And as far as customer service, I will say again that it is top notch, as I had some issues that had to be worked out with the installation and they were easily able to oblige with the problems. I like the racing team connections that they have been involved with, and that lineage gets some points in my mind about the value of the design. Super glad I got this one, and would again at this point.

I will be at Festival of Speed tomorrow if you want a listen.

I am a huge fan of GRP. I have had several different exhausts. The customer service is second to none and what puts it over the top. When the owner calls/text you to make sure you are 100% happy with his product, that is Nordtrom quality. Not just out to make a fast buck.

Now for the sound. I have about 3K miles on this exhaust to include a 2,500 mile trip. Nothing better when you want to just cruise around in "wife" mode, radio on and carry on a conversation you can. then you get in the twisty's, turn off the radio, roll down the windows and hit the sport button. It will put goosebumps on your arms. Nothing better. My vote is for GRP.

From inside the car with the windows up. Sorry for the music.

If you would like to hear our system on a 2016 GT3RS as well as a 2018 GT3, please stop by our booth on Saturday at the Festival of Speed. I, along with my team, will be there to answer any and all questions and would love to demonstrate the sound of our GMG Center Section Exhaust, as we have product in stock and ready to ship. We will also have plenty of other GMG product on display.








Cheers,

thanks for everyone's replies. also got a lot of DM's from owners. sounds like people who went with any of these, were really happy. die hard grp, bbi and gmg fans here (among others). good to know that all of these brands have happy customers.

ended up with grp. like the etching, and was a quick turn around to delivery.

.2 is at the port. the excitement begins.

GMG been building their system for 10 years. Their customer service is second to none.
Their Bypass system sounds better.
The first two are FACTS
The third is my opinion

Every time I have dealt with GMG, James the owner is the first person I spoke with. I enjoy dealing with the owner. It's a fact beard on my interactions and I'm sure that I'm not alone.

You’ll love it! Am still shocked how good the GRP bypass sounds allowing this incredible 4.0 sound to be uncorked.

As an aside, drove my ‘10 ZR1 yesterday and even with the exhaust valve open (it’s a small mod to keep the exhaust muffler flapper open all the time), it just sounded pretty boring except at full blown WOT. Otherwise, it just sounded like a fairly quiet, lazy big V8. The GT3 with the GRP bypass has ruined me for most any other car in exhaust sound.
