I have to admit that the videos do sound incredible, and if the system is appropriately quiet when the exhaust is 'turned off' then it is very tempting.
Do you have anything in writing from SharkWerks or Porsche about warranty implications or is it purely 'word of mouth' and 'common sense'.....???
Hi Sid. It is louder when SE not on but only a tiny bit .Do you have anything in writing from SharkWerks or Porsche about warranty implications or is it purely 'word of mouth' and 'common sense'.....???
Re warranty , purposely didn't ask - head firmly in the sand - I didn't want to know in case this stopped me doing it : the lack of noise with the SE off or on was annoying me - let me know what they say

What do you guys think of disconnecting the valves?
The guy "Matt" in the states has his Sharkwerks by pass fitted and has now disconnected valves too.
In the videos below you will see the car dyno'd and the conclusion they reach is that the car has more torque and power with them disconnected as well as a more pleasing exhaust note and the absence of "annoying" valves opening and closing.
They also conclude the valves have no purpose other than sound management.

Hi there , we met at ABP - you managed to find a GT3 then ? The guy "Matt" in the states has his Sharkwerks by pass fitted and has now disconnected valves too.

Well I am sorry to say...
The same as everyone else!!
Absolutely f
king fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive had it 3 hours, Ive not been over 6500 rpm (Only at 690 miles from new)
and it has blown my mind. I am in Love.
Ive had some cars in my time (430 Scuderia included) but this is what I was always looking for.
Mt first drive in any 991 gt3 was this one today when I already owned it.
I knew I would be happy but delirious is more like it
I will posts a few pics and maybe a vid in the next few days.
If anyone is thinking of buying one just do it.
And as a bonus it already had a bypass fitted so thats saved me 1400 nicker which is lovely
Told you ! The same as everyone else!!

Agree , it's exactly like that , I'm really glad you like it - it gets better and better - you'll have to be v carefull on the tyres when wet and cold , but you'll be amazed by the grip level when warm and dry - roll on spring ! Ive already started
