Cue all the aftermarket side exhaust kits for 987, 981, and 718's.....lol

Srsly though, seems like a win-win. Still sounds better than anything else in the GTLM paddock IMO......car should be a rocket.

 

I was thinking how nice Spa F. looked in the dry and with sunshine

 

Yeah in particular that Ferrari V12 !

 

JCR race pipe sounds better

 

My Touring with cheap Soul side bypass and FVD great 200 cells cats sounds glorious
Why RSR sounds so trash?

 

Exhaust exits on the side so:

(1) Pipes don’t exit together at the center exit rear; the current RSR exhaust doesn’t overlap but the pipes meet in the center
(2) The pipes themselves are very short

Other GTE cars with similar exhaust arrangements are the Ford GT and new Aston Martin vantage (which both sound like ****)

 

My 991.2 GT3 RS with the stock headers and cats, and the JCR Silenced Race Pipes sounds exactly like this.

With the same JCR and the Akrapovic headers, it sounds angrier that the video above, same tone, just angrier (louder) sound.

The new RSR with the side exhaust sounds just plainly horrible, that's the worse sound of a Porsche 911 race car I have heard. Makes a 1992 Viper sound like glory. Too bad.

 

As long as Porsche wins races and Championships.....I don’t care.

*current RSR sounds best...but.....

 

deleted wrong thread

 

Did they elaborate further? Pipe length, diameter, etc. all play a factor, just wondering what Porsche’s rationale was/is.

 

Nah

I suppose we’ll find out more later this week

 

+1. Would you rather Porsche fields a winning car or one that just sounds good?

Look at at the bright side. Your street version RS won’t be as fast but it will sound better.
