It never lets up.
Appreciate the suggestions. Part of the reason I was learning towards Sharkwerks is because I know it will bolt up to Dundon's headers, which I'm leaning towards picking up at some point. IIRC, I think the RSS may not mate as easily to longtube headers or side bypasses but someone more knowledgeable than me can correct me if that's not accurate.

Well both the RSS and Sharkwerks bolt up to the stock system so I'm assuming the the Dundon system terminates at the same point as the stock system which means both the RSS and Sharkwerks should work the same.

RSS may be a little shorter than the others which would make adding it to aftermarket headers or side deletes a little harder, but really trivially so. I'm running Dundon headers into an RSS center delete right now and it fits just fine.

Oh, good to know!

Would love that sound clip whenever you get around to it

Fairly typical discoloration from use and overall appears to be in good shape, welds that I can see at least have all held up very well:





If you're interested in a swap still, just let me know.



If they're the stock tips then that shouldn't be a problem. I believe I still have my stock tips from the factory muffler, though if someone has the larger Sharkwerks tips I may be interested in picking those up separately if we end up trading.

yes, they're the stock tips. They bolt on to the sharkwerks center delete. That said, I'd like to find a black coated version of the GMG exhaust as I'd like to keep the tips black (my car is black). I'll sell the sharkwerks pipe once I find a GMG replacement in black, so i'll reach out to you when that happens, although I'm sure you'll find someone to trade with before then.

Hey @Vocan thanks for the reply earlier. I think I was confused about your original post as I thought you were talking about a GMG exhaust (not a center muffler delete). To make sure I understand you correctly, you are wishing to switch out a GMG center muffler delete for a SharkWerks center muffler delete, right? Just making sure...as I may be hopelessly confused (it wouldn't be the first time!). Thanks!

No worries! Sorry, yes that’s correct. Looking to swap a GMG center bypass for a Sharkwerks (or RSS I guess) center bypass. Also potentially willing to throw in some cash on my end depending on condition, etc.

Appreciate all the offers. Likely going to pick up a RSS bypass from a RLer and give that a try first. If I don't like it, Sharkwerks may be the next step and I'll start reaching out to people who have chimed in if I end up going that route.
