Cheers Mo... and the rl gt3 community is so unique. It's honestly hard to explain just how much support, kindness, help, encouragement and more that you guys have given us. I'll have a nice personal-level announcement shortly to let you guys in on (no don't worry I'm not pregnant lol). Seriously you guys will be stoked:P

And this was based on a couple of phone conversations with him; I'd never met or spoken with him before. It just doesn't get any better than that, gents. Quality products with impecccable customer service.
Ah seriously no worries I can't make up my mind myself hah.. even though it's just a Tip it's what you ended up seeing on the back side and I've had silver, black, ti and/or raw at different times. Shoes?

hey triode it's tough one to answer but I'll do my best... Technically _ANY_ modification can indeed void your warranty. Yes there are certain cases that companies will and do throw at you (the Magnussun-Moss act is the one I always hear of) stating that the car manufacturer only has the right to deny a claim based on proving the part has caused the failure etc... But I like to think of things on a more personal/realistic level... Modify yes but tread with caution. Be friendly, honest and up front with your service adviser at the dealerships. They're generally there to help you and some are even gear-heads like us. Many of them actually buy, sell and/or install our exhaust (and others). The reason being that it doesn't interfere with the headers/cats/02 sensors in any way and therefor is just considered a "muffler". There was also TSB released stating that changes in back pressure with an exhaust (meaning headers, cats etc.. and changes to the 02 readings) will supposedly contribute to RMS leaks due to vacuum changes. So if you're getting an RMS leak- and let's face it we ALL do have some form of weep/leak at the RMS on these cars (with or without an exhaust) - I'd either not worry about it or check with the dealership and see if they will replace it under warranty with or without an exhaust. Most dealerships have stopped replacing the RMS since Porsche has also released a TSB saying the "leak" is considered normal....

Sorry for the long-winded post and on my iphone (pardon the typos) but hopefully that helps

My 2 cents on Sharkwerks vs. FVD Brombacher

Sharkwerks - have reached out a couple of times asking questions regarding various parts and packages, cause I live faaaaar away. Always received prompt, personal and efficient response. Prices are reasonable, products seem excellent, and judging from the feedback on this forum everyone is happy with dealing with them.

Brombacher - have had some interaction...

Catastrophically bad customer service. I mean really awful. Webpage parts/availability may as well be taken down. Tried to buy an RS wing; cancelled the order after 3 months of waiting with no response even as to when it would show. Website said 15 days.

Tried to buy fancy decklid scoops - website said ETA 6 days. Took 48 days to ship! Screwed up billing - charged me 200 euros extra for a shipping option that I never asked for. Still haven't returned the money. Sent me the wrong invoice; I believe for someone in the Qatari Royal family. I guess I could call him and shoot the breeze now that I have his phone number.

Asked a couple of technical questions regarding performance of a part. No response. Ever.
