Aftermarket exhausts for the 996 GT3
I am considering putting the new GMG 996 GT3 exhaust on my new 3, but was wondering what else was out there. Anyone have YouTube links and approx pricing? Recommendations?
TIA

Lots of info over on Rennlist, here,too, with a search. I have Cargraphics mufflers (only, stock headers and cats). You're going to get lots of OPINIONS. Best to hear them in person. YouTube, and any other web link aren't going to give you a true representation, IMO.

Here is a dyno of my 996 GT3 with the 997 AWE exhaust on it. Wow does it sound killer. I am not sure if they make a system for the 996 rear though. Just put a center exhaust cup car bumper on it.
Actually I don't know how to post a video can someone help? I can e-mail to you.

I have GMG's homologated Cup system. I'll work on getting a good sound clip. The exhaust sounds phenomenal!

If you're referring to the cross over center section, that's homologated from the Cup system and there are several system out there that employ the same design for much much less coin (eg. CG, Krei-sieg, Meisterschaft, etc)
Also IIRC, Olaf will not sell the exhaust alone, you have to buy the entire 410 kit which runs north of 16k. Good luck with that.
Adrift, GMG's system is race proven (Sofronas ran it on their earlier Cup cars), extremely light and it sounds incredible. Not to mention it cost less than most systems out there.

What race proven design are you referring too? Where are you getting this information? Is the system they sell the same one they use on their race car?

Ok Mr GMG! I mean that it comes from a proven race team and extensive development and experience. Yes it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Fantastic customer support and top quality.

Mr. GMG. NiceA small FYI, just because a product comes from a proven race team doenst mean the product is race proven (nothing against Manthey as I'm sure their products are top notch), but when you come out and say one product is better than another on the merit of being "race proven" you better have the data to back it up.
Last i checked the 410 kit was north of 8.5k Euros. That was from a friend who actually bought the kit. Do you happen to know what it currently cost?
