A Pair of GT3 powered cars get two differound sound systems @ Shark Werks

This lovely white/red themed 2010 GT3RS came in for a quick later afternoon bite in the form of our Shark Werks street exhaust for sound and our larger 88mm tips for a more aggressive look.

In the cage:


The factory titanium center exhaust and tips, although light is still 7-8 pounds heavier than the "fun" parts about to be installed:



Off comes the rear appron:


On goes our exhaust system:



Mounts to the factory locations:


That's better!


Now with our more aggressive tips installed:


Close-up:


And ready to go home:




And a video of what it sounds like on a 2011 3.8L GT3RS:

Next up this silver MK1 2007 997 GT3 came in for a major sound and weight reduction upgrade in the form of the Shark Werks Track exhaust system. Dropping some 56 pounds from the rear of the car and getting that cup car-like sound in the process....

In she comes:


Off comes the rear bumper cover to get access to the three mufflers:


You can really see where that extra 57 pounds comes from...


Off with the center:


And the two sides now as well:


All the way back to the cats:


Our 11 pound track exhaust (with two small race mufflers) on there fits up to the factory mounts:


Ceramic coated:



Ready for pick up and more to come:


A couple of videos showing the track exhaust:

Hey Alex!
Nice to see my baby on display. I have to vouch for this exhaust. I am in love with the sound of this car. It just hits the right notes when you want it. It fits perfectly with the character of a GT3.

You referred to my car as the lovely white/red car, so it just occurred to me to name my lovely car. You seem to have a great instinct with naming your cars, so any suggestions send them my way :-) She is lovely, beastly, classy, aggressive and gorgeous......Any ideas ????

Nice to see my 2007 GT3 featured. I cant say it enough, I love the track exhaust. For those that are curious how loud is loud, WOT you will scare people, but if you keep it between 2800-3200 RPMS, you can cruise around and easily have a conversation in the car or listen to the radio. Being this is not a daily driver for me, I like being able to get into the car and have that cup car sound, not to mention the weight reduction out back. I have a video Ill have post shortly, and definitely more to come.

Cruising on the Highway. Wanted to demonstrate how liveable this exhaust is when you keep it between 2800-3200 rpms on the highway.

That's nice, unfortunately the only time I see 2800-3200 rpm is on it's way to 8800. the last time I drove a GT3 with SW track exhaust for over 100 miles here on my roads my ears were bleeding for three days. But damn, it was fun!

maybe post a video of that same rpm from outside the car. and say above 4500 outside and inside the car

It's not too loud for the road IMO in the video you posted above. It's hard on camera to get the true sound. Have you been given any tickets yet? or had people get angry over the noise>? I drive home late in the summer and people always complain the next day, I think they are just pissed they dont have a porsche

Hey, I'm betting it's far easier to get a speeding ticket than the excessive noise violation when you're forever reaching for 8000 rpms for that sound fix (either SW bypass or the track version).
