I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get a great deal on a Sharkwerks bipass pipe. Friend took it off before selling his car. Double lucky as just last week someone had posted the install instructions. (I think this may have been the Sharkwerk's folks) This pipe is awsome! Direct fit. I did not have to take off rear wheels. I found by jacking one rear tire at a time I could easily reach in and undo both tork screws (one for bumper and one for side heat shield). Only challenge is getting to the top bolt bolting the side ring to the middle muffler. A universal joint on the socket was definately needed. Took me about 4 hours.
And now the sound: Amazing. Makes my GT3 sound more "Porsche". A deeper sound, even with sport button off. I really like it. Does not appear any louder without the sport button. Press the sport button and it has an even better lower deep rumble. Get out on the road, turn on sport button, press on the gas... and Oh. My. Gosh... this thing rocks! It is not too loud. Just better. Did not dround the cabin. Challenge is I now want to get on the gas all the time!
Perfect instructions, perfect fit, perfect sound. +1 for the folks at Sharkwerks.

Agree with your comments.![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I had mine installed a week ago & cannot contain myself; the sound it awesome! I love it!!
I find myself driving with the windows down most of the time, flooring the throttle at everywhere; this could be a problem with all the 5/0 around.
Do yourself a favor & have someone drive your car a few times while you stand & watch; jaw dropping!

I put mine on three weeks ago.
Only downside I have seen is that my fuel economy dropped by 1 mpg. I keep driving in a lower gear to hear more of the howl this product generates.

Here's one we were doing yesterday. Never really see red MK1's so it was good to know they exist!
Red gauges and stitching
Take yer' kit off!
And on she goes!
All tight and using the factory tips to look stock...
