What manufacturer makes a quiet-ish exhaust system for the 997.1 GT3?
Hello all, I am a prospective future buyer (though how far in the future remains to be seen
) of a 997.1 GT3 and I was wondering about which manufacturer made a quieter exhaust? I'd like as much gain as possible but I'm willing to sacrifice a little power (not over stock obv, but over an effectively straight-through sytem) for a sound that's not much louder than stock. I've heard clips of nearly all the popular systems and they all sound great, personally speaking, but a lot of them scream like a banshee. While this is appealing in its own way, I'd like to be able to go around without disturbing the peace and having police tail me. I've learned over time that if you have a louder exhaust, you're more likely to get noticed and pulled over even when you're just going with the flow of traffic (which is usually 15-20 mph over the limit). Any suggestions? I know kreiggsegg (spelling?) makes an exhaust with switchable sound, but does that not add complexity and weight?

hmmm, yeah I figured akrapovic slip-on wouldn't be too loud, but then not much gains as well I'd assume? Is their evolution system also fairly quiet? I wouldn't be interested in their full-on race system because it would probably crack the 102db mark.

Stock is probably your best bet. .1 GT3 isn't exactly whisper quiet, and you won't see much/any performance gain unless you spend big money, break the law, or both.
For bypasses, SharkWerks may be slightly less loud than alternatives.
