Does absolute wonders w/o sacrificing much interior noise. Here is a video of Sharkwerks system (board sponsor and a great guy). Exact same thing.

You absolutely can not go wrong with FVD. Checkout the current thread by FVD going through all the exhausts available.
FVD will build you the exhaust you want. Call Rhonda at FVD.

Well gt3geoff was quicker with the response.
Call FVD and ask Rhonda to go over with you all the exhaust potentials.
Have you checked out the current thread in this section?
My race headers / exhaust system with RSR tips arrives soon from Germany.

Best of luck

Ranger

No mufflers. After my original talks with FVD and M&M the headers / exhaust system I was told would be ~ 115 dbs. Stupid loud but we've walked around it and worked out a middle ground.
Bottomline I want a sound like the videos. FVD working with M&M is a great opportunity for us GT3/RS owners.

Look forward to your system. You have a gorgeous car.

Warranty issues I do not know about exactly. Champion Motorsports takes care of my GT3RS and they're great. All's cool and are great for mods.

I am a lucky guy having both Champion Motorsport and FVD in my backyard. They are GREAT people and super motorsports enthusiasts.

No there are no CEL issues. They know what they're doing. My FVD headers I got for my 07 GT3 were perfect and best performance results.

To the other question, FVD will build for you exactly what you want but they will also discuss w/ you the exhaust issues and give you their recommendations.

Cheers

Ranger

Ranger,

are you keeping the rear bumper exhaust cutout the same? i think the cutout might be too small for rsr style tips being diagonal. unless fvd rsr tips are really skinny.

look how wide the RSR cutout is:

what's the purpose of the pipes coming out at an angle like that on the RSR? Does it reduce backpressure to eliminate the 90 degree bend?

Speedoflight,

Ranger's tips will look like these, which are considerably smaller.



Thanks,
