The guys at Evolution walked me thru the install, and I was able to pull it off.
It took me nearly 6, but the results are a joy. Lots of pics if anybody needs more insight.
Off to Road Atlanta Friday, this should be a damn sweet DE.
Hehe Now all you need is the LWF to go along with the Sharkwerks By-pass. The perfect combo for the GT3.

My favorite sound is idle with sport button on a cold morning.

My friend's wife told me that my car sounds the best. There was a Ferrari 360 Spider at the autoX this weekend, and she's into Ferraris. My car really sounds exotic.

Thanks Mooty !!! for the Sharky pipes

How loud do you find the Sharkwerks compared to stock? The youtube videos I have seen would suggest its very loud... I run my GT3 with the exhaust valves unplugged and its pretty loud but drones sub 4k.

Have you tried the Sharkwerks with the valves unplugged?

if you want loud, unplug the valves and use sharkey bypass.
if you want good sound, with no drone, just hit the sport button and use sharkey bypass.

i am very sensitive to exhaust sounds and i like them QUIET. this is the only bypass i like. it doesn't drone. i have had enough anza stuff in the late 80 and early 90s. i KNOW drone well.

i ran the sharky bypass with the valves unplugged for awhile. there's no sound difference at >4krpm but under that it's loud all the time. it's not annoyingly loud. just drones at <4krpm especially on freeway cruising speeds. i've since put the plug back on. no drone.

Now that I popped my mod cherry on the sharkwerks bypass, what's all this about the LWFW?
No doubt there is plenty in the RL search, but how about a re-brief?
