Love my track exhaust! The only problem with it is after you rip through a gear you will be checking every mirror making sure Fairfax counties finest isn't coming up on your tail. Holding a conversation is a little tough, but all my friends love the exhaust just as much as I do. I get more complaints from people trying to squeeze into my euro 996 seats!

Installed a number of Alex / Sharkwerks pipes for customers... I made a lot of people around here in Tampa very happy. For my business, I stick with Alex stuff...

Thanks for the support mate and glad you can take care of the Tampa-track nuts I still remember you saving the day back in 2003 for the shoot out and making a very-fast and necessary drop link for the shoot out A bit like A-Team there!

still blows my mind why people get rid of the center muffler and keep the heaviest pieces, the side mufflers.

Easy: The noise, The torque, Sport button still being an option. IMO if the car is still a in town car living most of its life on average 1000-6000 RPM, then torque would be the biggest plus. If you car lives most of its life WFO at 5k plus the sure that's the way to go or get a SW track exhaust. You may have times were you need the car to be more mellow and not so much "Cup Car" like.

Bottom line is the only exhaust system you need is the one relative to what you will do with the car. What do it do? Were do you drive? How do you drive? You want torque? You want more top end power? You want more sound? You want F n' loud sound? Nobody make the perfect exhause for every situation.

You get the idea. That and $2.00 bucks will get ya a coffee and the book store.

I like the sound of our track exhaust too but in small doses For a lot of folks who drive their cars daily or to/from the track I think it's nice to have an exotic note but without any resonance/drone etc... Take the sides off and it's boom city inside the cabin

Glock, being testing different exhaust systems with and without header changes.
What I like to use in case you want to keep the headers stock is side muffler delete, with stock or M&M or Akrapovic center muffler.
I agree with the sound problem, but anyone of those I mentioned, are OK on a daily basis.
A lot quieter than track exhaust for example.
I agree with your point, depends what you do with the car.

Sharkys customer service is unmatched -

install is not bad and I have seen it done w/o removing the rear apron....

Congrats on your GT3 purchase - these cars are a lot of fun
+1 on the Sharky service, none, err NONE better!
