I always dyno in sport plus and personally prefer to use a dynojet as mustang dyno's typically read about 8-12% less than a dynojet (personal preference). Make sure to point fans at the intercoolers and give it time to cool down between runs to avoid heatsoak.
Thanks. I am in the $150 range and they said there was some issue with tying down a 911 vs other cars and wanted to charge more. Sounded like a Porsche tax to me so I am a bit suspicious about the fees. Is there anything special about tying down our cars or is it pretty standard?

Installed my Sharkwerks on Saturday and I am very impressed with everything. As mentioned multiple times in this thread before the quality is amazing, multiple people stopped by during the install and were drooling over the welds and fitment was spot on. Exhaust note definitely increased as well as turbo noises (I installed the BMC filter at the same time), but its a subtle increase not super loud and no drone as of yet, I have not been on the highway yet, but I cannot imagine I am going to hear any. 10/10 would recommend, and feel free to ask any specific questions you may have.

Agree - the build quality is amazing, I just peeked at my Black ceramic coated one and have been drooling as well

Not per my dyno guy...here some pics of mine strapped down:

From the front

Rear (don’t tie into the rear tow point behind the plate-you need to tie both sides of the car)

Another from the front

it looks like I can’t send you a DM. I suspect it’s because my account is new.

Can I send you an email?

Waiting to be able to do a true "cold start" after install, then will post up vid links tomorrow...

Bottom line: sounds awesome, feels awesome, is awesome. Money well spent.

First impressions: My Back Dyno tells me a bit more power and ABSOLUTELY better flow and less restriction, louder, grunty particularly in Normal which really surprised me, more reasonance but not at all irritating, drone is in the ear of the beholder as I really didn't feel anything bugging me even at 2 ish to 3 ish K at 70 in different gears and Normal, Sport, and Sport+, more resonance - absolutely (it's a muffler delete!), but drone - nada.

Thanks, Sharkwerks and everyone who got the group buy rolling. More to follow...

I need to get a ride to hear it!!

As promised. This is not scientific. My car is stock, with the exception of the new exhaust. Loving it!

Cold Starts, pre and post install:



Warm Start and Revs, post install:

Are the original black tip able to fit back on to retain the OEM look? I noticed you don't have it installed.

Yes, the OEM tips can be used.

As stated above, absolutely. I just haven't decided if I'm going to go back to the OEM look or keep it bauhaus...
