GT3 MK2 sport exhaust

[peashooter]

I went to AFN today to replace my front lip spoiler and heard a GT3, which had a new sport exhaust fitted to it and boy, it sounded very HORRRNY.
The exhaust had two solenoid bolted onto each rear box which opens the inside up for more flow, and works by a switch inside the cabin (its where the PSM
button would normally be) which allows you to swap between sport mode/noise or original factory mode/sound level………………thought it was a great idea. Has anyone done this yet, or heard it yet, is it any good?????????….........apologies in advance if this topic has been covered already.

dunno if this is true though. you can create a similar sound in a far less costly manner my sticking a scredriver through your silencer!.

Nice one 911nutter, I shall tell all my friends at titanic about this special money saving conversion

By the way, which screwdriver do you recommend, philips or flat type?

Thanks for that lighweight. Do you switch between the two modes often?????????. and would you give it a definite ?????......AFN told me it was the first one that they fitted to a GT3, mine might be next

Talk to Manu at Scuderia Systems -01784 434395 -mention my name. Melv

Had a loooong chat with this fella! - he likes the Porscher system (he was very honest about this), but his system would be far too noisy for a GT3 on the track (like Goodwood etc...) Heard the video, sounded like it was a 600bhp le-mans car

O Yes cant wait we had a good group last year 6 TVR's 2 911's and a 360 all organised by another PHer. Camping was basic so we joined the ACO for a clean bog and shower this year we are sending down a realy nice guy in a RV to get the bacon sarnies ready and larger chilled.

Was it through TARGET TRAVEL???????????? Will be doing this trip with a bunch of similar cars........maybe might catch up with you! This would be my first trip, but will be going with hardcore Le-mans nutters!

b) The sports exhaust does not add any BHP to the car and cannot be retro-fitted with a noise button.

Its a new system - C**** B****** @ AFN Guildford will confirm if you choose not to believe.....no bhp gain quoted, but oparated via a switch inside car!

OPC Reading have also confimred that the Sports Exhaust can be retrofitted and that Guildford have done one and are about to do a second. They have checked with PCGB who do not recommend it due to noise levels etc. The retrofitted exhaust includes the switch.

The secound one will by mine

Appolgies for naming a person.....thank you DOMSTER for editing the post/s. New to furum, should have read the rules first!.

you can retrofit the exhaust with and without the switch....the seperate switch unit adds considerably to the labour cost. i have gone back to standard silencers on my car as it enables me to do track days.

I intend to do lots of track days this year......but wanted the best of both world!. If I can do it with a flick of a switch, then its worth every penny

Do you know what the dB level will be on a GT3 with the exhaust on and off? Did Guildford give you any idea? PCGB dont recommend it due to noise and warranty issues.

Don't know what the db levels are for on/off...but "off" mode is standard GT3 noise level (can't tell the difference between the original exhaust) and "on" is loud!

As for warranty, Porsche says that because they make this product, and fit it themselves, the warranty is not affected at all......I also have this in writting via e-mail from them.
As this product is made by Porsche, I don't think PCGB will have issues with it!
