Agree with you here. Also hard to believe how much the tuners charge for that simple piece of short tubing with a couple bends.

Yep, have you ever looked at the price of Porsche headers and Vette exhaust headers....same tubing and design princepals but the Porsche header cost way more....same things in brake pads and on and on.

look at the bright side. Lamborghini and Ferrari parts cost twice as much, and they brake more often, so we still winning ! Oh Vettes blow up, so Bi- winning

Porsche tax


I'm unsubscribed from this one. This is easily one of the goofiest threads in the GT3 section ever. Talk about people overthinking a simple purchase

Tough crowd . It's all g. I really appreciated the insights.

update after having put some miles on it

--->from 5K-6K whether accelerating or decel, the howl reminds me of... something special like a pagani zonda (youtube references only to date sadly ). this is pure GMG. a touch loud for my ears, but i'll manage.

---> an enthusiastic start off the light makes this raucous noise blending together just the right amount of flat6growl + ferrari howl... PERFECT

---> I smell melting something and i've smelled this before whenever i put on a new exhaust part - i think i burned it off by now

---> i definitely drive at higher RPMs than before because of the glorious bark. this isn't just making the car louder. this is making the car more fun to drive. sound is a huge part of the entertainment experience whether you're sitting in a driver seat or lounging in your home theater.

i'm absolutely enthusiastic about the GMG bypass. well done james and fabryce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank u.

Ben,

Thank you very much for your order and we are pleased to hear you are happy with your purchase.
We take a lot of pride in our Motorsport program and how it has such a profound impact on our product development, especially our exhaust systems, which I have personally tested on our in-house cars.

In fact, on this particular day (in this video) we did a lot of exhaust testing at Big Willow and we feel it was well worth the expense in doing so.

And if any of you are looking for more specific info on our center section or other GMG products, you can email me directly at james@gmgracing.com.


Thank you,


James
GMG

Here is another video of some on the job testing:



In fact, we are having another GMG Track Day at Big Willow Dec 1st if any of you are interested in sorting out your GT3/RS with us.


Cheers,


James

the fernsport guys right at Silverstone in the UK did and they've installed a couple and say that it passes just fine. Might check with them?
