Indeed Alex has! ... I bought a used GMG and he very kindly sent me the directions for his install

KUDOS Alex!

p.s
the T30's in the rear wheel well/arch are little illegitimate's to unscrew ... you might want to drop the rear wheels or get a decent toolkit (which I dont have)

Both systems are great. I agree with the post that said the GMG bypass had an F1 sound. It also lets out a little burble when let off the throttle that I didn't notice in the Sharkwerks bypass. Tips are a little bigger but not bling at all.

Sharkwerks has plenty of burble on decel. I love finding bricked in streets and accelerate and let off to hear the burble on deceleration.

Nice!!! The burble is one of my favorite things about the bypass. I do the same thing when I'm next to 16-wheelers and in underpasses. Makes me feel like a kid making motorcycle noises on my bike or lightsaber noises.

Sorry about the bling comment. I thought they were fat and polished like the fabspeed ones. If they are just bigger and in matt black, then yes, that is NOT bling. My bad.

I have the Sharwerks and love it; so does everyoone else who hears my car. But I must say, I am intregued by the GMG now, and would like to own them both.

But I am also leaning towards a full exhaust for weight reduction purposes, and maybe the ultimate in sound. I just don't know which one to get from all the choices.

I like the 6 choices from Cargraphic, whith almost all of those allowing for the sport button option. And saving 17.5 to 19.5 kg aint too shabby.

I have Sharkwerks and my buddy has GMG. We revved and compared them side by side. I personally like the Sharkwerks better, but they both sound awesome. The GMG is slightly deeper sounding and the Sharkwerks has more of a high pitched wail - but not ear piercing or annoying.
One of our friends (who has an RS) noticed my exhaust at the track and couldn't believe how good the car sounded.
VB997 is the one who has the GMG. He might be selling it because he is putting in the 997 Cup exhaust system. PM him if you are interested.

I also love the burble too. When I am in a crowd, I will accerelate, lift off, and then blip to downshift. Amazing sounds . Now if I can get some flames out of the exhaust......
