That's completely understandable. I'd put them on eBay, that way you get the best price and open them up to the biggest market. Let us know when they are listed. I've already missed one which I was kicking myself over.

Yes, you can replace the 3rd muffler with cross over pipes (like offered by Sharkworks) for about $700 (the last time I checked) and get the PSE for about $2,500 from either Suncoast Porsche or Sunset Porsche.
Both items are a DIY swap, and should take about 3 to 4 hours. If you want to wire the PSE to the dash switch, that is another 5+ hours to run the wire from the engine compartment to the dash.

The PSE retains the center muffler? A sales guy at the local dealer told me something different. He also insisted the GT3 has the same body as the Turbo and the RS so I'll stop listening to him now.

I have Tubi on my PDK car and upshifts in sport or sport plus mode sound off with a cup car pop sound...AWESOME! Tubi is the perfect street exhaust. For the track I wish it was a tad louder. I use to use the stock center resonator and did the Fabspeed side muffler delete pipes straight out of the center resonator. This was great at the trak but on the highway this Fabspeed solution droned so bad you could hardly talk to your passanger. Tubi is way more refined and perfect sounding on the street.

I've got 20k miles on my Tubi mufflers and more than half is heavy track use. Tubi is ultra lightweight and built extremely solid. 20k street use is nothing for these mufflers.

Haven't had much time for that except a front and rear on the fly. As I said before, wasn't sold on the color of this thing but it's growing on me now. Stuck on black I was thinking anything grey means overcast sky grey. There's obviously a lot more than that going on with this grey.

I'd prefer this to Black, much easier to maintain and with proper detailing would look as shiny as a black car and it is LESS common!

I have never been into black or silver cars and have never owned either color (except my wife's current Mazda, which thankfully is her's, not mine!
). Black is too hard to maintain and silver is way too common, IMO.I think Meteor Gray is a very good looking color. It has more color tones in it than the Slate Gray it replaced.

Hey guys, I'm new to rennlist, so I appreciate all of your opinions regarding sports exhaust systems. I actually just ordered the Sharkwerks system for my 991.2 Turbo S. Considering I was about to drop over 5K for the Fabspeed system I'm thankful after reading all of your comments that I did not. For anyone looking for a street legal alternative sports exhaust in California - Sharkwerks is definitely the way to go. Will post a video once I get it fitted!
