I installed the Sharkwerks by-pass pipes today to replace the center muffler. The car sounds MUCH better. The exhaust is louder and has a deeper, more guttural sound to it. Sorry no sound clips. They are too inconsistent and subjective anyway.

Thanks to Sharky (Alex) for getting these to me BEFORE I picked up the car.

Alex was very helpful when I asked for some options and his opinion for those options. I explained what I was looking for and mentioned the two different exhaust systems I was considering 1) PSE with Sharkwerks by-pass pipes and 2)Tubi.

I asked for his feedback and he gave me his personal preference on the sound of each. He knew if I went with his recommendation, it would mean I would be buying only a portion of the PSE/Sharkwerks set up from him instead of the entire Tubi muffler system from him. I really appreciated the fact that he was "there to help" and not merely "there to sell." That meant a lot to me!

Thanks again, Alex, for all of your help!

Tim congrats on getting another 911...very happy for you. I also have the Sharkwerks rear by pass pipes and I found that Sharkwerks is very honest and run a great business.

Congrats! I'm sure your car sounds great!

I am also enjoying the sound of my Sharkwerks bypass. Your new ride sure looks nice. Congrats.

How long to install?

seapar

For mine about an hour. I am not a DIY person around cars. Came back to the shop a week later in my SUV to pick up center muffler in the Sharkwerks box for storage.

Little more tricky if you have PSE. See prior threads or just call Alex at Sharkwerks.

Yeah, Alex is a great guy. I made up for your bypass no-tubi though, since I was all set to get bypass pipes and when I got there, ended up going with the tubi.

I installed the by pass on my '09 C2S about 2.5 years ago and it has been great from day one and 23,500 miles later. Still looks like new. Never any drone in the cockpit and as said, great sound. For those that have not tried it, it takes about an hour to take the OEM muffler off and install the by pass pipes. I did it with the car on the ground. Great improvement

Aw Tim seriously my pleasure and again so thrilled for ya! You guys on RL have always been so good to us and kept us on our toes for years

I remember a couple of weeks back a local customer with a GTS (pse and our pipe) whizzing by my office window when he left and Dan and I smiling

Thank you sir... My wife even likes it:P She's still rolls her eyes a bit on the GT3 with the sport mode on so that one isn't 100% wife approved

Thank you very much!

About an hour or so. I can email you the instructions etc... so you can take a look. The bumper doesn't have to come off but it's easier on a lift

A lift really does make it easier

Thanks Kit and again enjoy!

hey f4 plt thanks for being one of the originals:P Dan/I look up to the way you're doing it! I hope we're Auto-X'in just the same as you in a few years

What are you wearing today?!?!?!

I also want to give a shout out to "Sharky" Mine should be arriving today! I will post up some clips once installed. I dropped the center last night in preparation and decided to fire it up. I'm now thinking I may want some sort of bypass to really wake up the neighbors from time to time. This thing sounds like a pissed off cup car! I will say getting to the top bolt on the driverside flange was a real PITA on my PSE equipped car.

1/4 in socket long extension AND a knuckle joint between the socket and the extension...... plus some good four letter words
