Default Muffler Bypass or Track Exhaust (Shark Werks)

I am planning to order Sharkwerks Exhaust for my 2010 GT3 and i need your opinions,

My first choice is the Track Exhaust for three reasons,

1- We don’t have any sound restriction
2- Reduce weight
3- This is the most important for me: do you think by removing the side mufflers will also reduce heat surrounding the engine specially during summer, I suffered last year from heat warnings appeared in the message display.

I have contacted Dan & Alex and really both are so kind and supportive but I need your experience guys here in this forum.

1- Track Exhaust
2- Muffler Bypass

Depends on if you want any ear drums left. Bypass sounds really good, track exhaust is so loud you'll be screaming at everyone when you get out of the car and you will think your talking normal. Haha

I've been told that the track exhaust is awesome... On track. Power, torque, whatever.

But, makes the car undriveable on the road. Get the center bypass instead. I am going to do that too! Who is going to install for you?

best solution is to get both systems, then change them when you track.

I'm in the same dilemma as you. Has anyone heard the ISF or C63 with exhaust? I can live with the track exhaust if it sounds anything like that V8 rumble
I'm afraid the bypass might be too close to stock and track being too loud and needs ear plugs

Don't you need software for that? And doesn't it mess with the ECU if you do that?

don't need a program for exhaust mods alone, but it doesn't hurt to get the evomsit program if you do more mods.
alex will be able to tell us more...

What do you think all about my 3rd reason, is it true the track exhaust will reduce the heat coming from the side mufflers when they removed so the engine will not overheat during summer?
