Yeah, I feel ya. I almost didn't get passed on smog due to having an oil catch can that was a fully closed system (not vented). I wonder how close the Sharkwerks 991 Turbo exhaust would be to fitting. I'm a big fan of Sharkwerks design philosophy which is basically simple and effective.

All I know is I am interested if they do a 991.2 non-PSE muffler replacement, as their 997 GT3 system was aural art—you could drive it quiet if you wanted to around town, but it went GT3 Cup in the canyons. The latter, of course, cuts two ways, but the turbos might reduce the "downside."

I think their exhaust philosophy is refreshing and protective of themselves, their customers, and partner shops: no catalyst delete, and muffler replacements (which are still legal in CA, to my knowledge, despite a recent law that gives more discretion to an officer...one I suspect SEMA will go after).

You're actually in better shape, as it sounds like they already have something for you.
(Disclaimer: I've come to like those crazy cats over at Sharkwerks quite a bit—but they've earned my admiration the hard way with 3.9 and now 4.1 liters. I am curious to try their 991.2 PSE setup, and will bug Alex to see what's possible.)

Having pondered the options from Litchfield (I’m going there on Monday to get their handling package work done on my Carrera T) I’m now re-assessing the need for more power (partly influenced by Pete’s thread regarding when 370hp is enough). My thinking is turning towards a more modest package aimed solely at giving the car a thoatier, slightly more menacing sound, without needing any uplift in power or torque. I like the sound of Sharkwerks (see what I did there).
Any thoughts? Am based in the U.K.
Cheers!

I would say just get an exhaust + sport cats if the regulations permit in the uk. If youre gonna remap the ecu at all, get the full litchfield package with the extra ponies!!!

I've considered starting my own thread, but I feel it fits here. 2019 Carrera T. 7-speed, PSE.
Soul Sport Cats or Sharkwerks Sport Exhaust Upgrade?

https://www.sharkwerks.com/exhaust/p...-s-gts-SHAX506
I know the real power bump will come from the tune down the road, in the meantime, looking for (in order) SOUND and a small power bump.
Soul & Sharkwerks...Ya'll have been great in answering my questions...but youtube clips only do so much, and only one of you has a dyno, so I am asking the masses for their opions. Thanks everyone!
OP: If you want me to post my own thread, just tell me to kick rocks

Another option is to go with the Soul cats and headers, which will result in better sound and more power.
