You need to get on that problem man. Wife hates the 4x4 look

I got rid of the Panamera and now have the 991.1S and will be hitting you up for goodies sooner than later. I'm just undecided on what big ticket I want to hit first on this car. Oh BTW- damn love that blue and orange 997......

Wish you guys were open on weekends for installs so I can avoid these terrible bayarea freeway traffic plus crossing the bridge.

Sharkwerks' 3.9-liter conversion for the 997 GT3 remains the sweetest/most alluring flat six I have tested, and I've tested "a few." It's up there with the very best from the factory that have followed. Has it been toppled by the 997 4.0 or latest 4.0s? It's close enough that I'd have to try them back to back, but the 3.9 was a simply ridiculous flat six. Power, character, and a soundtrack that good aren't easy to come by...we're talking the first flat six that made me think about how it compared to the CGT V10 (still doesn't, but...), and this from a shop that gives a rip about the environment, too?

What does a 3.9-liter GT3 engine have to do with this discussion? Simple: A company or individual that has done something truly impressive earns my respect—as well as my interest in what they're doing next. So, if I'm going to modify the exhaust on my 991.2, and Sharkwerks offers a 991.2 non-PSE product, I am interested. JAWZ? Not so much. As for the "moral" or "actual" gap from no cats to cats or even sport cats? It's massive, so I'm one of those who believe deleting catalysts from clean, modern street cars is among the blackest of black marks on our hobby—right up there with doing 60 mph in a school zone. Of course, YM(and your opinion)MV. As for recommending businesses that steal the IP of innovators who actually contribute something to our hobby, and recommending businesses that may not be there to fix things that go wrong? Yeah, that's strike three.

Will agree on one thing, however: The factory exhaust is very good from many standpoints...so if it's going to be replaced, the alternative needs to be great. I have yet to see a product that I find compelling in that regard, even as I would like to add a bit more "voice."

Sharkster, I, and I am sure a few others living in Australia, would be interested in purchasing locally here. Any resellers/distributors who you can recommend perhaps?

ps, yeh loved the JLen vid and the baby blue beast.

I have over 1000 miles with Sharkwerks system now. Still loving it! Again this is no cheap fab job. Clear they contracted high quality low volume US based fabricator who welds with heavenly touch. Some of prettiest welds I ever have seen ! To me My T was just too quiet and I loved shedding weight off the back of the car. Performance enhancement is notable to me as well. The sound when driving up mountain to my place is glorious!

Here is my car pulling out of Sharkwerks after install.

^ Man, that does sound good. Thanks for posting.

Curious for your take on drone between 2000-3000 rpm (or anywhere else)?

sharkster

Cheers alpineR we actually ship direct to aus all the time (with fedex it’d be about $210?) - depending on where you are there’s a few places that have done our GT3 exhausts too.

Only time I notice little louder cabin noise is 2000 rpm under load in 7th gear. Not bad and is transient. Very few of my drives are on highways in 7th gear. So rarely hear anything I’d classify as drone. Sound in car is tame but aggressive.

Can't wait to get mine installed and measure differences sound and performance.
