Default Carbon Muffler/Tail Pipe -- Reduce Weight In The GT3 RS (Street Version) Even Further

A lightweight high flow exhaust alternative. Carbon ceramic muffler with titanium inner tube with approximately 1209 laser cut holes and, of course, a carbon ceramic tail pipe. And, by the way, the muffler bracket is carbon fiber.

Can this be used on the GT3?

Who made it?
I am looking for a muffler bypass pipe, NOT cat by pass, but muffler bypass for the 2004 GT3.

Fabspeed's does not fit. And I doubt FVD's fit either since the bumper on the new model sticks out more.

Any suggestions?

Hmmm .. A little weight off the back end of the GT3 would be nice. Does anyone make a light muffler for the GT3 maybe out of Titanium?

People are beginning to make titanium mufflers. Be careful, however, as there can be significant quality issues (including quality of the titanium, quality of the welds, resonance issues, etc.) and, for a Porsche, given the proximity of the engine and catalytic converter to the muffler, there may be oxidation issues.
