We recently had the opportunity to test the Quicksilver exhaust system for the Porsche 997 GT3. Quicksilver based in the UK, manufactures exhausts for high end sports cars and other luxury marquees such as Lotus, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Audi, Porsche, and more. Having been a Quicksilver dealer for a number of years, we have been able to sell many of their systems to clients around the world. However besides a couple installs here and there, we really never got a chance to put our hands on a system to truly see the quality and excitement that Quicksilver delivers. Working with the team in the UK, they got us one of their exhausts to fit on our Porsche GT3RS.

The GT3 factory exhaust is made up into 3 parts. You have the headers, the side mufflers, and then the center muffler. A majority of the exhausts available are just the center muffler replacement. These do reduce weight, but because of the incredible performance and design of the GT3, they really dont add to much gain except for sound. What Quicksilver did is make their exhaust a direct fit to the headers eliminating the secondary mufflers. What this did is really open up the performance of the GT3′s mid to top end power range. Less restriction, more exhaust flow. Some low end torque is compromised, but for a car that was designed for the track, we are pretty sure 2000-3000rpm is not important!

Driving the the car with the Quicksilver exhaust gives you a different animal. The rumble of the exhaust is much louder and deeper then the normally aspirated reserved sound. Because of the removal of the secondary mufflers and the open can design, the Quicksilver exhaust is not for the faint at heart. Going through the throttle makes you feel like that checkered flag is near. Aesthetically, the exhaust is nice. The included dual tips and vband clamp design to the headers requires some adjusting to get it set, but once done, it has a very OEMish quality. The Quicksilver exhaust weighs a total of 22.15lbs. The stock center muffler with secondary mufflers weighs a total of 58.25lbs. Thats just over 36lb weight savings! If you are looking for a quality race exhaust for your 2007-2012 Porsche GT3 or GT3RS, then the Quicksilver is definitely a great option!

Weighed with the Agency Power center exhaust and titanium tip. This was subtracted out of secondary muffler weight.

 

Do you have dyno graphs to compare OEM exhaust vs. the Quicksilver center section?
HP & TQ gains?
Thanks

I agree though, a post like Vivid's and showing us the car on a dyno then presenting it without a graph is no bueno!
