Very nice congrats.

The only weak point IMO was the exhaust on my 991.2 cab. Went with Kline inconel exhaust and headers. Also went with 100 cell high flow cats. No CEL or smells that we can get with the straight pipes having a cab. Fantastic system/sound!

Do your research, but definitely give Sam (ByDesign automotive) a call.

Enjoy!

I think everyone agrees that the stock exhaust is too quiet. I went with the Sharkwerks because it seemed the best sounding. It was also the most cost-effective. Essentially all aftermarket exhausts delete the OEM muffler and replace it with a non-baffled pipe of sorts. I saw no reason to spend thousands more for about the same thing.

Thanks TD33 and Need4S. I will definitely do my research. I have heard the Sharkwerks and did like the sound. I will check out Kline.

Appreciate all the info!

Thanks, until you get hit with depreciation! I followed this car for a bit which was originally sold but then became available...

As a SharkWerks/Cabriolet owner... After 3 seasons there are none of the "smells" you are alluding to.

It's the right amount of increased sound IMO. But there are many ways to skin that "sound" cat, with tons of sellers and re-sellers out there, so due diligence is recommended!

My dealer will be re-installing my SharkWerks from my 2014 TT onto my 2017 TTS when it arrives next April.
