991.2 GT3 RS batch '2' GPF?

[Sandy59]

To be honest I haven't read anything, or heard anything from various YT videos, that concerns me in the slightest regarding the performance or exhaust noise of this new PF equipped car.
Even if there is an after market exhaust system offered in the future I'm pretty sure I won't be bothering with it.

Thank you - I did read that. However how accurate is it likely to be and if that is the case does it point towards ITB's and loss of the rear silencers? In reality - Porsche are the only people who know the truth and until the 1st cars start arriving it's all speculation.

I think they are decent in that they seem to have access to Porsche/don’t make st up like Autocar.....there’s an interview with the guy that’s been running 911 prodiuction for the last 18 years in this months edition as an example. They had an interview with the CEO a few months ago.

Well it looks like what was posted back in April was spot on!

I am still shocked by how much a simple centre bypass changed the personality of my Touring. Frankly, I think they should have come from the factory like that. It was aggressive and just what she needed. I do miss my Touring, but she had to go.

I will definitely be upgrading the vocal chords on the 3RS as long as she can be returned to stock and won’t require a remap as I would ever remap a car like this. A significant weight savings will result but that is just a bonus for me.

The trouble is the manufacturer is bound by rules and regulations!

Remap out of he question for me and must be able to go back to stock!!! I’m not sure they will be able to do it without a re map though,let’s see?

I’ve got this to ppf this week. “Gen 3” PTS RS.

Lovely thing

Yep, got to be the nicest colour spec RS i've seen...Classy and timeless IMO unlike LG.

More pics of this car have just been posted on Instagram. Jet Green Metallic at OPC Kendal...my OPC delivered a Jet Green Turbo S about 18 months ago which looked stunning.

But the car would not be road legal and thus then not insured !

I think people with filters are screwed. And will just have to suffer the downgrade.

can't really hear the sound when wearing a helmet anyway
don't get why people are so caught up re the sound of track cars, to hear it properly you are (well) above the speed limit on most roads (and for road driving imo it will never sound as good as most V12s at any revs, so if sound is your thing buy a one of those).

I am quite sure it will feel very special to all owners of the batch 2. I heard the car (not mine still to come) and without sport exhaust on, i felt it was a bit muted. But it still sounds nice and n/a and revs. We might have lost some of the pops. But I am very excited to have the car coming. I remember when I got the GT2 RS many people were telling me it wasn’t a GT because it had a reworked Turbo engine and it sounded like sh... first time I turned the engine on, I was in love, I love the turbo noise/ whistle. And now it seems many people think it is one of the greatest 991 - not trying to open another thread. So... I think it is harsh to call the second batch 3 RS a downgrade and... regardless, I am really looking forward to collect her and I have already planned my first 500 miles trip with my son for what will be a great driving moment I am sure!

[MDL111]

Exactly - they all sound fine and an RS has so many other qualities that make it special not only sound

But it is though, you cannot mod it and it won't sing like the 991.2 RS with a bypass, it's car heaven a 991.2 with a bypass pipe at WOT.
Also worse balance, yes they offset with the side deletes but the weights more to the rear now plus a Steel system over the trick Ti system ,so all the weights now hanging out the back !



Is what it is and not a lot they could do, it's a better solution than the new GT4's but it's still a shame the 3rd batch did not make it though sans filters and they ditched the Ti exhaust.

2nd hand buyers will hunt out the non filtered cars imo, well I would as cars sounding like that will never happen again period.

Having one with a filter is better than not having a car though and they will sell at overs so a free car for the lucky few.
Porsche did what they could to offset the weight as best they could having been forced to fit the filters.

My service guy stated that they are definitely muted. But it is what it is, all going to be like it so it’s no biggie.

They’ll be a few owners locking away their non filtered cars now. Crazy , I know.

Deviated stitching caused a month’s delay on my GT3. It sounds mental but apparently the cars go down the production line and get built as standard and then go to Exlcusive and then the bits you’ve ordered get fitted/swapped for the standard. So in the case of deviated stitching that’s a lot of parts that have to be switched. fk knows who made that system up!
