Default Anyone in NJ/NY/CT with Sharlwerks exhaust

Anyone in the Tristate area install this on a Gt3 or RS? I am still waiting for my car to arrive have yet to hear, or drive a GT3 but have heard some good things about this one and was wondering if possible to hear it live as the video clips are only as good as my cheap PC speakers.

Thanks in advance

Interesting. For $1900, you're only getting "Real 16 pound weight savings (stock muffler weighs 20 pounds total) from the rear of the car" and "Improved, more aggressive sporty sound".

I guess Porsche got it right with the exhaust flow. No claims of HP improvement with this exhaust.

I'm in the same boat- I'd really like to hear the various exhausts in person before plunking down for it.

if I got an exhaust upgrade- it would be for sound and weight only- I don't need 7-10 extra Hp, and am definitely not good enough to feel that...

my cars performance would probably be more effected by

1)stickier 18" tires
2)lighter wheels
3)lose weight from interior aka sport bucket seats
4)shorter final drive ratio

rop3, Had the GT3 out this past saturday with the Sharkwerks bypass. Was buzzing along with the window down and the heat seat on. Got the rev's way up and was smoking........what a sound. Very tame with the sport button off and in regular traffic. "I love my Shark"

It really offers a great sound.....it even gets rid of the stock car's resonance.
