Default 3.8 GT3 RS exhaust mod question

I am sure this will stir the usual range of opinions and debate, which is perfect. I am thinking of modifying the factory exhaust on my 2011 solely to enhance the sound (street car only as usual for me). If I received any performance bump, that is just an added bonus. What does everyone suggest and why?

Thanks everyone,

Michael

Sharkwerks bypass....the OG is still the best IMO. Inexpensive to boot.

For just street driving, I agree with sharky bypass.

Akrapovic Sport Cup, with or without GMG headers (weight+power vs sound) or Supersprint full system.

Power I'll always say dyno same day against OEM on the dyno and if it makes more power than M&M I'll pay 1K cash.

Sharkwerks Bi-pass.

Sounds the best, simple install, looks great with optional tips and maintians sport function.

This is the way the GT3 should have came from the factory.

possibly idea for you

200 cell headers (GMG or M&M) with a rear bypass (sharkwerks)

the above headers would be easily sellable to a track head when car is sold (they fit in OE location) and any of the rear bypasses could also be sold quickly as well

the combo of the two gives a sharkwerks+ type sound

I am currently running this setup

With your set up then you had to plug the upper openings on the center by-pass?

GMG Center. Outstanding difference overall. (Although the GMG units new are quite costly,so if you can find used that is the way to go). If you go used, make sure all of the parts are included. I picked one up and the center bracket that mounts to the engine was missing. Quality of the GMG was just unbelievable... the welds are almost invisible. Installation is easy and does not require bumper removal.

In-fact the sound difference when doing this same "operation" on a regular C2S I had to this, I was shocked at the difference in sound... or I should really say music!
