This little mic will share. Obviously mediocre quality at best but stay tuned to this channel.

Default Here it is...

Here it is but note the emphasis was on safety as those roads are inhabited. Lots of downshifting.
I have the Sharwerk rear muffler bypass as well as Cargraphic headers and tips. I replaced the tips just for looks, I liked the perforated inserts.

Forgot to mention max upshifts at 7,000 RPM and max downshifts would not exceed 6,000 on the lower gear. Much more noise expected at 9K, by a lot.

All I can say is WOW! That was glorious! The sound adds a different dimension to driving. Close your eyes and your in a F1 car. Fabulous.

Couple of questions. I assume on a couple occasions you neared to hit 9000 rpms and is the sound any different in the cabin?

Only once did I go to 7,500-7,700 but all others are around 7K! The sound in the cabin is very similar but with the windows open, it is beyond enjoyable!! I have been driving with the windows open lately.

I went to the web site. Is it the Long Tube Manifold set?
Can dealer install w/o worrying about warranty? PM if needed.

So what's all the fuss about this GT3 sound? <-- Are neighbors complaining.. LOL. Thats a good thing.

Sam, is there a way to describe the difference between stock GT3 exhaust and Sharkwrerks? Is the difference significant? Also to what extent do the Cargraphic headers contribute to the amazing exhaust sound and do they enhance performance?

Will send PM in minute. Yes, this is the manifold I got.

Hard to describe. A bit louder for the SW exhaust, discernible and recommended. The Cargraphic changed the sound some. They claimed 3 db increase but the exhaust is louder and as such, I think they underestimated the increase, unless the combination with the SW bypass did something. They claim 20-25 lb ft/hp increase but as expected, not at all discernible. What also made a difference in my car at idle and low RPM is capping the PSE vacuum line, allowing to come on from idle on.

Edit: also, the Cargraphic changed the tone of the exhaust by a little. It now wails like a Tubi on a Ferrari (not Tubi on a Porsche-I dont care for those) but to a lesser extent.
