Default Last nite.....

Last night my girlfriend and I went out to dinner.

She usually does not want to ride in the GT3, but we decided to take it.

Since I installed my Sharkwerks bypass I have had the exhaust valves unplugged. To make the ride more tolerable for her I plugged the valves back in so they could do their thing.

WOW is ther ea difference. I forgot how quiet these cars are with an exhaust.

For those of you with a center bypass and have the valves plugged in.....unplug them. Your neighbors will love you

the way i do it is everytime she bargs in my car she buys me a new car.
first was in my E36/8 m coupe. she paid back with a boxster s
then she did it again in 996c4s, that's how i got my first GT3.
she no longer rides when i drive. i dont think she can afford to buy me a CGT

I see.. , but wait for her to listen your new manthey exhaust and then you could go for the 2RS (no-options) .

I have the center bypass sitting in the garage, waiting for a free afternoon (soon). I thought the sport mode on opened the valves and off closed them???

It does, however, light throttle input and/or engine load will close them even if your sport button is on.
