Sharkwerks Center Muffler Bypass Installed :D

Here are some Pics and a Vid (not so great quality, have another on the way on a friends cam, he is lagging). Also took pics of weight of stock parts and sharkwerks parts. 18.8 - 6.6 = 12.2lbs saving

I went with sharkwerks for a few reasons. I had their center muffler delete on my c2s. Ive met the guys from sharkwerks and they were extremely humble and helpful. They make great products too! I also like that their muffler bypass pipes use the same size tubing as the rest of the exhaust, i believe using a larger pipe can cause drone or more resonance. I like that the pipe keeps the "straight pipe" design as thats what the stock exhaust is in the stock center muffler.

So the sound is amazing! Has a great rumble down low at idle, No Drone at all, its almost normal cruising but when u step on it, it just starts to wail like a race car! honestly expected less from it, on the c2s wasnt as much of a difference as this. This sounds a good amount louder when u step on it, and the pitch just screams!!!

Also had premier clear bra my car and they did a perfect job. After seeing them work i have a new respect for the amount of precision and patience it takes to do what they do.

Vid (does not capture the sound great but i tried, more to come w/ better sound hopefully)


Stock Muffler 15.8 lbs

Stock Tips 3lbs

Sharkwerks delete 4.6 lbs

Sharkwerks Tips 2lbs (looks awesome, so much meaner, went w/ raw metal so they stand out more, got to show off center exhaust!)

also got new filter

stock

sharkwerks

No, I didn't disconnect it. The sport button still works. The valve/flap that the sport button uses is on the side mufflers. So you still have the quiet/loud option

Incoming #254

Hey sammyrusso,
Thanks for taking the time to post your impressions, pics and video. I received bypass #254 with black RS tips yesterday and can't wait to install them. My car needs a better voice!
Cheers,
