Default Heard Sharkwerks in person yesterday

At Lime Rock for the IMSA Tudor they had a parade lap and I got to hear two cars. Wow! I'm sold. Videos do not do justice. Should have bought Matts. Ordering tomorrow

The best was getting the thumbs up from the corner workers and spectators on the downshifts into second and first gear. And I was much louder than the green GT3 pace car.

It was great to meet you and your son yesterday.

Regarding talks of the center muffler having an aero purpose. Is it safe to say no changes to rear handing happen from deleting that section? Has anyone put a casing over a delete pipe?

Good meeting you too. It was a great day and meeting fellow Porscheofiles was probably the best part.

Re: GMG vs . SW we talked about that yesterday and the consensus was GMG is a deeper sound. True?

The best part of the SW was the upshifts.

sgroer and I swapped cars on the Smokies Run. He has GMG and I have Sharkwerks. While GMG is deeper I think its too loud and has too much drone. I think Sharkwerks fits the bill perfectly.

GMG bypass makes the GT3 sound like a Mustang Cobra with a Borla Atak. Sort of artificial, and unnatural.

Some may like that type of sound/tone, but it no longer makes the car sound like a GT3.

Honestly, opinions on exhausts are like ********. Everyone has one. . You will be doing yourself some good hearing them in person as they are all surprisingly different.

However, another way to look at it is If you loved the shark, then don't muddy the waters.

"Fins to the left
Fins to the right
your the only game in town"

Had the sharky on my car at the 48 Hours of Sebring this past January
and Trakcar who was there pitted paddock area inside T-17
comment it had the nicest sound of the 400+ P cars running including cups
All I can attest to as soon as I start her up the s.e. button is engaged every
time the tires roll !!

I loved my GMG. If I hadn't sold it to guest89 after I parted ways with my first gt3 it would be on my current car. I may end up that way again but the other that intrigues me is the RSS.
