There's always the track set up:

the weight savings and simplicity of the track exhaust sure is tempting. especially since mikeawd posted that it was very livable
looking now, thanks.
Here is a picture.....just unplug this and you will have a new found love for the Sharkwerks exhaust.
Do not unplug the vale without the Sharkwerks exhaust, the car has a terrible drone at 2500-3000 rpm.

thanks for the pic. do you just let it hang after its unplugged?
hows the sound different? im def going to try it.
At idle your valve are open.
Once you increase the rev the valves close making the car quiet.
The valves open back up at a higher rev (it is a different point depending if sport is on or not).
With the valves unplugged they are open all the time

i thought it was my imagination but the exhaust at idle did sound a bit burbly. i know how the vacuum works to open/close the vlaves, just didnt know how it was programmed
Mikymu (ze 6speed GT3 doctor) actually wrote up a useful guide that basically explains what that stuff does. We have super-strict sound restrictions at one of the local tracks so:

thanks. i dont see doing too many mods to this car but am quite thrilled with this exhaust.
i dont know what kind of soundtrack the people behind me are hearing but from within the cabin, its hard not to grin
alex tells me the ss will black out with a few hundred miles so i may just leave it as is

Glad you you are enjoying the GT3, I have been behind a 997GT3 RS with the Sharkwerks bypass and it sounds amazing! Enjoy.
Ed, i hope you get yours soon
these are amazing cars.i unplugged the exhaust today and drove around for about an hour. wasnt sure the first 5 minutes but the sound got better and better.
what i dont like is that the car sounds a little less sophisticated in the lower revs with the flaps constantly open.
what i do like about it is that the sweet sounds are closer at hand so you dont have to wait for the flap opening event and i dont have to kick into sport mode every time.
what i like outweighs what i dont like so will keep in this mode probably most of the time.
going to sign up for the next de at msr. should be fun
