Default Sport Exhaust

Does anyone know of a hack for always on sport exhaust on a 997.2 GT3? I loved the sound of my C4S and miss it... Thanks in advance.

As in keeping the sport button on all the time?

You could get a shark or RSS bypass which would be the same effect. Really though, are you sure you want it on all the time? I think it's loud enough and more than loud enough in sport mode...

Lindsay, whats wrong with you! Unplug that thing now and put some duct tape on the plug for if you ever need to bring it to the dealer. How can anyone stand that artificial open and closed sound?

Sounds cool but can someone make a video of it unplugged on startup and idle. I want to hear what it sounds like before I do this. Read alot about idle drone being annoying.

I need to be stealth sometimes If unplugged is not too much noise all the time I may do side muffler delete

Unplugged with the stock exhaust has too much drone in the cabin. Unplugged with a Sharkwerks bypass has no drone at all.

Also, unplugging does keep the exhaust valves opened but does not put the car into sport mode.

It's never ending problems with these things. When I bought the car one was stuck open so it sounded like hell until the other one opened up. Had that fixed then, one of them wore out, rattled then stuck. Got that fixed and now one is stuck closed which makes it sound quite sick. Everything up to this point was warranty but that's long gone so I think I'll have to un-stick it and unplug for good.

If I didn't have sound issues at our local track and at autox I'd have unplugged them a long time ago.

It takes all of 15 seconds to disconnect the solenoid, give it a shot, it sounds great.
