Default Exhaust sound compare 9am at Orbit

Anyone here in the area want to join us?

We will be there for a few hours, so does not have to be 9am. I realize this is a bit short notice.. Pretty sure there will be beers afterwards..

Idealy someone shows up with a sharky bypass; the base line ideal sound standard IMHO.

We will just drive different gt3 with different setups to see what they sound like. It is subjective,so if you just want to come listen that is fine as well.

We have a sound engineer making recordings, but it never sounds exactly like the real thing.

We have 3 set up for tomorrow, one stock and 2 side muffler deletes.

Randy is too busy pounding beer in Sebring. It's only 1.5 hours away from Sebring but probably did not take RS. We need to hear the acro side by side... I told him there will be beer....

We have been doing side muffler delete set ups on street GT3's since 2007, It's very good to know that people actually are going this route, as it makes a lot of sense to those who track their car and want a lighter set up.
GT3's are welcome.

thank you.

Do you get a lot of drone in the cabin when you do the side exhaust delete?

Trakcar is King of GT3DE Cup so he should lay down how it's gonna be....LOL

I wish you guys where doing this exhaust thingy a little later. I'll be at Sebring until around noon. Wifey is outta town and took the dog...I have no reason to go home and would love to drive over to Orbit.

My Carrera GTS (non-baller Porsche) has FVD (M&M) side muffler deletes and the pipes are X'd...I'd love to get some opinions and let you all hear it.

I never personally drove a 3.8RS with side muffler delete, so I can't tell for sure. They sounds very quiet from the outside.
Today we completed our prototype, with a german center muffler and link pipes. It sounds great. Deep tone, and no drone whatsoever in any RPM.
Akrapovic Cup system also offers side muffler deletes with no drone at all.
We offer efficient options for different requests, with different products and prices, but we only offer what we use or test. High end products, that are Motorsports proven.
I will be able to state if it drones or not tomorrow night.

Not really, only with a cold start the air pump boom gives me vertigo and the cool sound od sharky is missing. It's just to quiet now. Good for sound restrictioned tracks I guess, but bad for scaring the south Florida elderly's. Ever watched the boynton club movie? My office is in Boynton Beach ;-)

Was. Randy is getting to be faster then me. Engineers andvtheirvdata analysis ughh. Grade and Clarke already are faster. Eddie is breathing down my neck... My days are numbered. Never Mind quatro punto cero!

I wish you guys where doing this exhaust thingy a little later. I'll be at Sebring until around noon. Wifey is outta town and took the dog...I have no reason to go home and would love to drive over to Orbit.

Try to leave a bit early. When we are done we will Dyno my car. Maybe we strap yours in too? Bring the dog, my brother lives 15 mins from orbit and has an acre for his dog, Eddie and I have dogs and fenced dog yards too. My wife and i would love it.
We can park her somewhere if you like or we take her drinking beers. DO IT!!
