Default Fabspeed exhaust installed

I picked up a fabspeed exhaust (post cats set-up) for my GT3 recently and had it installed before I went out to the BMW CCA event at BW on Friday. Not only did I drop about 40lbs off the rear of the car from taking off the side and center mufflers and the sound is intoxicating. It makes the car sound how it should have all along. I noticed that the car runs a little cooler with the exhaust too. Here's a clip from yesterday of me going by the start/finish line....

i love the sound.. my wife took video from the same spot at BW.. no way a bypass sounds even close to that.

How is this setup different than Shark track pipe (sound and perf wise). both delete side muffler. Fabspeed version has mini mufflers before exiting... I want to lose some weight in the back as I am too heavy and weight loss dont work on me so car will get it.

Anyone had both versions?

I think the Shark track pipe is louder and not recommended for streets while the Fabspeed unit is street legal (I think it's because of those mini mufflers/resonators before the tips). I'm not a small guy either so this was the easiest way to drop 40lbs off the car with the driver.

Sounds like when I used to drive around town in my '07 GT3. I have this set-up for sale in the classifieds, can't go wrong.

Fabspeed Mini Maxflo's will pick up a good amount of low end torque for those who street drive the car.
