Just wanted to say hi and looking forward to be part of the group. Was a lurker for a while as I read up and learned about GT3's while looking for a car to buy (ended up buying a friend's car). I don't have any great photos right now but here it is.





After burning myself out on the whole modifying cars thing with my old cars, my only planned mods are to get the coolant lines pinned, install the Sharkwerks stainless steel coolant elbow things, put in the Cargraphics front radiator protector screen, and install the TPG Tuning DSC unit/3-axis accelerometer and HRE's that I've got lying around here (Tom at TPG was great to deal with by the way). Pretty excited since if I had to pick a car as close to stock as possible that I can enjoy without it giving me too much of a rollercoaster ownership ride, I think the GT3's gonna be it.

Anyways, looking forward to the journey, hopefully it's a relatively fun one.

Only a sticker? Buy more pipes (four sets for me already) and you get a cool shark toy and T shirts!!

What would each of these run?

Edit - 1500 for bypass and 1400 for flash

I might have jumped for the tune even up to a year ago, but repeated issues have caused me to develop an allergy to tunes.

The sharky bypass pipes are becoming more and more tempting though. Damn it, damn it, damn it....

I will never drive another Pcar without an EVOMSit tune from Sharkwerks. The CA calibration for 91 octane as well as the other benefits are so ridiculously worth it.

If you do the center bypass and the tune, I swear you will be thrilled.

Welcome to the club Brian. I'll make sure you change your mind about keeping it stock.

Exhaust/sound wise, I give up. Anyone selling a used sharky bypass before I go straight to the shark to get bitten? (-____-)
