This exhaust has been on car 2-3 track weekends and a few hundred street miles. I love it but trying to downsize and clean up garage a bit.

Included in price is RSS black tips. These were originally sold for $200-300, then blown out by RSS for $25, yours for free!

$750 includes shipping in conus

GLWS! I have a Sharky track exhaust and I love it! Even my neighbor who isn't a car guy said he loves the sound of my car when I start it up in the morning.

One thing to clarify, this is not the track exhaust, this is the race exhaust.

Track Exhaust:


Race Exhaust:


I had the track exhaust before and it has 2 small mufflers on it. This is actually less drone than the track exhaust, though it all depends how you drive. When I had my track exhaust, startup got complaints from people in my condo, in fact i was told to either remove it or park the car outside. if u keep the car between 2800-3400 rpms, u will have 0 drone. outside of that range, it will be very loud but sounds amazing. If i got on it in the streets in downtown SF, with the noise echoing off the buildings, i could see people running out of the way even if they were a good 100 meters ahead of me. In fact, people can hear you coming from well beyond being in sight. The sound scared people lol. On a drive with some lambo and ferrari owners, I was much louder than any of their cars as well. A guy in a merci said quote " Holy ****, that sounds amazing and makes my car sound quiet." FWIW, I daily drove with the track exhaust, but all depends on your tolerance. I ended up selling mine cause of the condo complaints i mentioned and went to a Sharkwerks bypass + a lil something special. With either the track exhaust or race pipe, you should definitely have the proper tune for it from Sharkwerks, as it will help recover some low end loss.

Turn your speakers up

Highway cruise showing you how tame it can be:

Correct yes it does.

A lot louder, as mentioned.

That said, you can cruise at 3000 RPMs or so and there's no drone. But as soon as you accelerate there will be. It's also hard to creep out of a neighborhood without letting everyone know :P

not sure about the distinction that bmwtye wrote above. As per the sharkwerks website they list this no-muffler setup as "track exhaust".

Dan,

Why does the link for track exhaust on your site show a picture of the race exhaust? It is confusing which models you have and for what price. Can you clarify or update the web page. Thanks.

The version of the track exhaust i had they are no longer making, so when both were available they were titled as i listed. From what I remember Alex telling me, this new version had less droan then the version with the mufflers, due to the fact the diameter of the piping was different. And there wasnt that large of a demand for the one with mufflers anymore. Let alone the one with mufflers was a lot more expensive than the version without. The pictures I posted were from the cached sharkwerks site.

So in other words, since they dont offer both anymore, they changed the name.

This is what they now call the "track" exhaust. They initially sold it as "race" exhaust when they were still making the "track" exhaust as shwon above by bmwtye, but now they only make one and it is called "track" exhaust.
