Default SharkWerks Catback installed on 991.2 Non-PSE Manual

Today, SharkWerks installed their cat-back exhaust on my 17 991.2 non-pse manual and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The sound isn't just louder, it's richer, fuller. Dan at SharkWerks advised me it would bring out and amplify whatever sound character is in the engine, and he was absolutely right.

This post has the before movies.

Here's the after, videos and photos. And yes, I see I have a water pump leak. Scheduled the appointment to have it replaced, today.

That sounds really good. Thanks for the high quality clips (although there was some wind noise in the before clip but I got the point). Apparently not an easy thing to do!

I could probably say honestly better than PSE. Congratulations, a good noise changes the whole dynamic of the car.

Wow. I like that. Much louder and better tone than a PSE. I gotta do something with my exhaust too.

Very cool. You may have a water pump leak going on under there though.

My wife and I went for a long drive today from Napa to Clearlake, ca. I thoroughly enjoyed the new sound, it continues to create a grin. With this much time in all the gears, I can say there's no noticeable drone.

Thanks for the additional recommendations to improve it further with headers.

Love the sound. In 'after.mov' did you have sports mode on? (Also do you have SC?)

I’ll echo what the others have said. You’ve got a water pump leak. Given that it’s a 2017 model, your warranty is about to expire. Get that to a dealer and have the water pump replaced under warranty pronto!!

Just had mine installed yesterday and absolutely love the sound. Perfectly fine for normal driving with no noticeable drone and a lot of fun with sport mode on. Link to my sound clip:
