Shark Werks Exhaust INSTALLED - Quick Review.

Ordered my Sharkwerks exhaust for my 2010 911 S on Tuesday, Arrived today, and already installed.

First off, great people over at Shark Werks. Really efficient service, and got a shipping discount when I mentioned 6 Speed online.

I didn't have some of the tools to install, so I called a reputable muffler shop, who installed it in 1 hour for $90. Did a great job. Some of the Porsche shops I called wanted $200. Maybe if this was a more intensive install I would have used them, but I think this is a matter of 6 or a few more bolts.

So.....

I turned off the A/C, rolled down the windows and sunroof, and off I went.

At first it sounded a tad above stock sound. Then after the engine warmed up, I hit the pedal. Definitely produced a much more aggressive sound then stock. Still not obnoxious, but really lets you hear the engine, and what it's doing. I went through the gears, and you can hear the down shifts happening, which really helps with the visceral feel.

It's probably just the sound, but I could swear I felt a little more throttle response at higher rpms.

So, all in all, what I got was a mellow car when I want it to be that way at speed, and a beautiful note with NO droning, when I get on the gas.

Very happy. If your looking for LOUD, then look elsewhere. If your looking for classy, sound, with out feeling like a drag racer, then this is a great, inexpensive option. Build quality looked great, and install seemed like a snap.

Highly recommended on all levels.

I'll reply to this with a little more detail as I drive it more.

Thanks for sharing your views. I have been thinking about The Sharkwerks bypass for a while. I just haven't gotten around to it being in Canada it's a bit harder to find.

I have had the Sharkwerks bypass on my 2010 C2S cab for about a month and I would second the OP's comments. Love the sound when I want it and love the lack of sound when I don't want it. No drone at interstate speed. I did pay way too much to have local P specialist install it (200) but I wasn't about to try it myself and didn't do any price shopping beforehand. Shame on me.
