If I am not mistaken the vacuum tubes you tied to a metal rod, will give you an air leak if you don't plug them up. I think in normal mode there will be a vacuum to keep the valves closed which you obviously don't have on your system anymore. I am sure Alex is the best source for this info.

M... we will hook up soon; the weather was ideal yesterday for a rip on the OP...I really let it loose on the Wantagh and this throttle is so responsive now that it wants to break away while the TC is on!!....yeah, baby!

INTOXICATING!!!
Alex and Dan have outdone themselves!!
This is as close as you will come to a 997 CUP sound and this coupled with the EVOmsit ecu flash for the total bypass puts this car at or better than the throttle response and pick up of the CUP as well.
Installation:...if you can change a tire; you can install these pipes!!
Sound comparisons:
Stock GT3 RS pipes with damper open = electric motor on a sewing machine
Stock GT3 RS with Sharkwerks center bypass = restricted and muffled CUP
GT3 RS with EVOmsit flash and Sharkwerks total bypass = exponential viral audible sickeness that most will not have immunity against and Alex better get busy and make more....I'm getting another for my DD GT3 as well...
Get yours today!....
(will post a few instal pics as well to follow)

i dig it!
no more bulky side mufflers! and no more heavy center piece!
this is a simple and as effective as one can get. pure logic.
i bet the RS sounds more like a porsche from yesteryear!
i would find it difficult to pay 5-10k for an akropovic exhaust with this system on the market.

I got a few clips down below
Thanks and we're actually sending one over to your neck of the woods too I believe:P
You can't turn the sound off thoAgreed with all of the above observations.
Alex didn't seem to keen on these becoming a "street" exhaust, and warned me over and over that it was loud when I said I was willing to try it. Then I went up and down the street, came back, rolled the window down, and said "It's not THAT loud..." (as judged against some of the loudest cars to come through here like the Yellowbird, K1, etc.). And, yes, it gets back to the sounds of older 911s. Not a bad thing. Might be Cup-ish, but the last one of those I drove was all (or almost all) gear noise, so I'm not sure I can speak so well to that.
That said, a longer drive meant that I had to cool it and "play" the exhaust at times to avoid drawing attention from certain black-and-white cars or pissing off minivans, or pick my gear at cruising speeds in order to minimize noise rather than the gear I wanted to be in. I consider myself pretty hard core, and willing to put up with A LOT, but I'm not sure I'd roll this thing. Then again, the weight savings is sorely tempting...
But, as said above, it gets you silly good noise. Didn't drive it with the appropriate flash, and there were a few spots where you could tell it needed it. Sure did like the idea of shedding the pounds back there, too...

Alex:
Wish I still had my leaking GT3,gone, that exhaust sound fantastic. Oh well I really am happy with your crossover pipe on my 2009 C2S . Now what shall we do with my 2.9 Cayman inbound that will relieve the '83 SC of track and autocross duties?

The 2.9 Cayman... got a few ideas
Although one thing does concern me on those is has the power steering pump issue been fixed vs the older gen?Cheers!
