Default We love our Carrera GTS' @ SharKWerks! Exhaust Video

We like our "blue 911s" here at SharkWerks and this 2012 Carrera GTS happens to be of the Midnight Blue variety. Not only is it a 6speed version but it comes equipped standard with the Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE) which means there's still some room for improvement.

In she comes:


There's the factory center exhaust section (also 9 pounds heavier than our version), which is exactly the same as on any 997.2 Carrera model (with or without PSE):


No bumper removal is necessary and on goes the SharkWerks exhaust system mounting up to the existing factory mounts:


Ready to go home!




A quick demo of the sound with the SharkWerks Exhaust:

Looks good!

I was previously unaware that GTS models had CL's standard. Still, that exhaust is stellar, and sounds amazing!

i think the CL's on were standard on the GTS. Looks great but I've heard its a PITA.

Good work Sharkster!

Thank you sir! And you're right the wheels are a bit of a PIA

Thanks man! And yes the CL's look good and are standard but a PIA to change out;(

Very nice Alex!

Since I have already installed the Sharkwerks center muffler by-pass pipes and my local Porsche dealer is installing my PSE tomorrow, my car should sound very similar to the blue GTS.

I can't wait!

Just added PSE ($3200!) to my C4S equipped with the Sharkwerks center muffler delete. Absolutely outstanding!

Awesome! Glad to hear that! I put the Sharkwerks center muffler delete on my car four weeks ago. PSE will be the "icing on the cake!"

Alex,
I just had installed a Tubi exhaust system on my C4 (which I am in love with). Would it matter if I also had the Sharkwerks center muffler bypass installed?

Just looking at the signature is says you have a mk1 997 (pre 09) so you've got a different engine and set up there
