Yep, that's how they saved 22 pounds while adding filters. You could further reduce weight by 20 more pounds (and add sound), as well as claimed increased power and torque with this:
Thank you for posting that! This is the solution I was looking for. I think that car sounds fantastic! I forgot that after market companies already have a head start on modifying the 992 GT3 exhaust since it is essentially the same engine as the speedster. Bookmarking this company.

One more vid of same exhaust from outside the car:

I have a rs with opf. Below say 4k it is relatively muted. When above that it is pretty loud... was back to back in my car and a non opf rs at the ring and inside they sounded the same.
I added a JCR back box to mine and it sounds incredible. Not too loud at all. No track issues at all. Just right.
I've heard the 992 GT3 IRL and IMO it sounds really good.

I put the JCR on my Speedster and it sounds amazing and shed a good amount of weight.
slight but tangential subject change.. if you're buying a PDK 992 GT3... you might as well purchase a 991.2 GT3 RS as you have similar downforce and front track width, at similar price.
that's all.
without the ENTIRELY new suspension, lack of new tech, someone else's spec, and the bulk of a new-car warranty gone....no thanks. I'll take a brand new car for nearly the same price.
How did the speedster sound stock? Much quieter than GT3?
Yes, quite than the gt3 due to PF.
I had a 991.2 touring with rear bypass pipes fitted after around 6 months of ownership. Speedy with jcr treatment was a touch louder than the touring with bypass. Sounds great.
We have a ton of cars running our OPF systems, some of the best sounding cars are the N/A OPF cars once they have a well thought out and properly designed and flow optimised system installed.
We didn't cut any corners on our system, the transition from the OPF down to the main flow is a critical area of consideration for the success of the design and instead of a straight reducer cone we designed and manufactured press tools to manage the exhaust gasses much more efficiently in this area. It's an expensive process starting with CFD analysis, hence why others avoid and just go down the 'make it fit' route instead however after back to back verification testing the data gathered was unquestionable.
For the monitored OPF cars we even 3D print the monitoring snorkel to ensure theres absolutely no chance of CEL occurring due to inaccuracies in the measurements pre sensor
992 GT3 system is a little different but the principals directly translate and we will be ready the moment that the cars hit the ground

Now, let’s see....in the new 992 GT3 you are effectively getting better than 991.2 GT3 RS performance for the price of a GT3 but because it might sound a just a little bit more muted compared to the previous gen you reject the car out of hand!!!???
Excuse me ...but comments like this simply demonstrate to me that there is an awful lot of people out there who are not true Porsche people..they are simply loud exhaust people. And don’t start with the “sound is part of the experience, blah, blah, blah” because based on this argument no one would ever buy any pre-2012’ish Porsche because prior to the 991 GT3, all Porsches were muted compared to the modern day OPF equipped cars. For example, my 964 RS and my 996 RS are vacuum cleaners compared to the modern editions but then I did not buy them because of their sound. I bought them because they are great cars that are great to drive! Rant over.
Forget it. You can't reach people who won't be reached.
We have the same arguments over on Fchat in the 458/488/F8 section. As a drivers car, the 488 and F8 are so much more rewarding and satisfying than the 458. On a track, both will demolish the ageing 458. Throttle feels twitchy, the steering too light, and the brakes mediocre at best. Yet we have the 458 "cult" falling over themselves to make sure that everybody knows it is the best car ever made. Why? Because it has a Pinin badge on the side and is louder. More often than not, these self-proclaimed die-hard driving enthusiasts have less miles on their cars than most of us, they have never spent a day on a track, and overall seem satisfied revving the nuts off their decatted pride and joy on Rodeo Drive. I don't really know anyone who track and drive a lot that will nix one of these cars due to the GPF. I do however know quite a few of those loud and proud "enthusiasts" who will dismiss a car because of GPF. Would I prefer that my cars did not have them? Yeah, but how the car drives is ultimately what makes me choose a car. And what's the fhn in a car that will be black flagged at the gates for noise when arriving at the track?
