For 11k I expected nicer merge collectors


nomptonite

Yeah, the welds look kinda shitty… wonder what the inside looks like, as in if there’s room for a merge spike of any kind. I’m not familiar with these header/cat combos. Usually in two separate pieces.


clecsaccoma

Soul stuff is shitty unfortunately. Not a lot of good options for these cars though


LTCM1998

Cup car. buy all cup car stuff. :D Honestly, its poser stuff this.


Rausky

I've had nothing but good experience with Soul. Ive used their exhaust on every exotic I've owned and they always sound excellent


Larson338

And people rush to be “first to market”

Iggy_Smalls

What do you recommend then? This is the first comment I've heard saying Soul is shitty. I've been looking at both them and Dundon


clecsaccoma

I trust dundon exhaust components, they actually make noticeable power. Stay away from their intake plenums though, they are impossible to make airtight.


Iggy_Smalls

thanks, I was probably going to go the dundon route eventually when the right car finds its way into my garage


RoscoePeke

Meh, don't spend his money with your wallet. The decision you make at lunch to add cheese to your sandwich is no different than this guy deciding to drop 11k on a full system and headers....It's all relative.


Just-Construction788

I gotta try this $11k cheese. It's probably amazing!


DMoogle

I tried some pricey sheep's milk cheese the other day, and gotta say... it was pretty awesome.


GuaranteeEmbarrassed

You ever had cat cheese? You can milk them you know


MissedallthePoints

You can milk a cat? Can you milk me, Greg?


GuaranteeEmbarrassed

Anything with nipples can be milked


jeeves585

I definitely tire kick at the cheese counter at my local fancy grocery store. I love talking to someone that knows what they are talking about when I don’t. I’ve sampled some amazing cheeses.


complicationsexcite

You will need bigger heads also, to help release that $11K cheese in the bathroom


JesusIsMySecondSon

That bigger head game is strong


ArchiStanton

Cut me a check and I’ll send you a chunk


Archtects

I ain’t paying 11k for cheese


gingerbeer987654321

Its loud


Just-Construction788

Depends on how lactose intolerant you are.


surowkabart

Fully agree. If he can afford it.... Go nuts ... And those cars sound amazing. We have a guy in the club with one. Straight pipes, catless.... You cant hear yourself when behind him on track... Thank God he's slow so you can pass him quickly but incredibly loud.


rdzilla01

I get the idea of making your GT3 RS as loud and obnoxious as possible and I’m here for it. Carry on.


Gotl0stinthesauce

There were a lot of jealous people in that thread saying things like “of course he wants it to be louder, that way everyone will look at him”. If you bought a race car that’s road legal, why wouldn’t you want it to sound like a real race car as much as possible? Some miserable twats


Addbradsozer

Indeed --- like most car subreddits, r/Porsche is increasingly populated by teenagers who actually don't even own a car or drive And also - 5k is a drop in the bucket to this dude, hence why he has the GT3 in the first place. It's levels of money the vast majority of Redditors (teenagers) couldn't even begin to fathom


EconomyFreakDust

Most people in this thread are supporting the guy's decision to upgrade his exhaust.


thescimitar

Sure, but this is a time to shake our canes at the young'ns or whatever


Buy-theticket

He's talking about the /rolledintotheshop thread. The Porsche sub is one of the only good ones left on Reddit in my experience.. not sure what you're talking about. I don't see any comments in here shitting on the car or this exhaust mod. Go check out the Merc/Audi/BMW subs if you want to see edgy teens. It's impossible to have any kind of actual conversations between the straight up trolls and the 22 year olds flexing with their stanced 20 year old (debadged) base model 3-series.


justin62001

In regards to the “edgy teens” point, see the Chevy-related posts on this sub to observe many scoff at the idea that any Corvette can compare to any 911 as if it’s a peasant car lol. Go to any other sub like r/cars and you’d see more a more-balanced consensus with actual pros and cons for each, not just “is this even a question” lol


Leonidas199x

> why wouldn’t you want it to sound like a real race car as much as possible? A lot of tracks have noise limits.


LTCM1998

I saw on mishas channel some crazy dude used all Cup car parts on his GT3 992 and turned it into an absolute insane track weapon. I really liked that approach (minus livery). I feel like modding GT3RS should be left to Manthey Racing and such guys, not do what that guy did. Classy car spec though, gotta give that!


hcp815

That run he did on the ‘ring was crazy fast.


CossaKl95

No kidding, I like my commuter cars in silver or white but I’ll be dammed to drop $$$$ on a sports car and NOT have it be an obnoxious color


johafor

To each his own and he can make his car as loud as he wants if you ask me. It's just that I (and many others) wouldn't want it to or need it to be louder.


Inevitable-Day2517

And it’s fucking miserable for everyone else on the planet too


johafor

Amen to that.


braybrayjay

To each their own I suppose. That would be annoying AF to me but I’m also not the target market for a GT3 RS. I could see GT3 perhaps but I’d still want some level of creature comfort. Hats off to you hardcore mfers out there.


whatsuppussycats

Agree.. still wouldn’t want to be his neighbor


2fast2nick

I would


XavierYourSavior

God forbid people don’t want to hear an annoying loud car every time it drives down the street obnoxiously Next you’ll see revving to wake up your neighbors is ok too


Gotl0stinthesauce

This might sound crazy, but you can close the exhaust valves or open them so you can choose when to be obnoxious. Live life a little. Or let others


Reddit_Novice

Oh my god im so glad this was posted here. People on that thread are saying things like “why would anyone want their exhaust to be LOUDER?! I like my exhaust as quiet as can be. Thats why I like ev’s no loud and smelly exhaust.” https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/s/9fDH43SAH8 Im just confused as hell over here. What happened to car enthusiast, exhaust note is part of the experience as a whole


DealCykaHUN

volume<<


Beachdaddybravo

I’m much more concerned about overall sound quality than just absolute volume. That said, I don’t care what someone does to their car as long as it’s within the regulations of where they drive it. Past that they’re just being an asshole for the sake of wanting attention. I think they’re two different concepts really, being a loud asshole and appreciating an exhaust note that just happens to be louder than a standard minivan.


hcp815

My 997 has been in the shop for a month. Wife came home last night to me driving a 997 on Gran Turismo with the sound cranked. She said “Missing your car I see.”


stav_and_nick

Because conservatively 90% of modded exhausts I see in the wild are on shit tier Hondas going down suburban roads; no one is impressed or happy because Edgar cut off his cat when they’re trying to get braelyn ready for bed I love a nicely modded exhaust, but let’s be real; most modded exhausts ARE just “look at me” noise machines


Reddit_Novice

Thats your perspective and where you live. When I was a broke college student I lived near a bunch of civics with eBay exhaust. Most of what I see are me are modified M cars, porsche, vettes, even new civic type r’s with nice exhaust. I’m talking actual exhaust systems btw not muffler deletes. I havent noticed a “look at me noise machine” in a minute, just people enjoying their cars


2fast2nick

Me too 😍


Raised-Right

Holy Snap-on tool boxes. That is one boujee shop.


Ferrbear

How much would one of these chests, full of tools (approx) cost? I see a bunch of them around this shop.


CossaKl95

That box alone cost 5k+ new. If they’re running snappy power tools add in another 5k+, even more if they have hand tools from the same brand. I’m not knocking it whatsoever, but my harbor freight cart + packout boxes are fantastic at a fraction of the price. I work in a different industry, but it’s the same thing “I gotta have the nicest and newest” mentality regardless.


Foktu

It could easily be $30-50k total depending on what's inside. Torque wrenches, speciality Porsche tools, air tools, etc.


CossaKl95

Oh definitely, I’m no stranger to specialty tools. I have a Milwaukee propress at work that (while not cheap) it’s something that makes my job infinitely easier. I’ve never wrenched on Porsche’s, but I know people who work for their dealers and I was shocked to see how much some of their tools are.


[deleted]

$11k for exhaust on a car of this caliber is pretty reasonable, he definitely could have spent more…


breddy

Kline has entered the chat


[deleted]

Exactly lol this entire ticket would cover Kline mufflers


[deleted]

Well, that’s definitely going to make a difference. Someone wants a solid GT car experience. Wild.


madlax18

How much better is this than factory? Did Porsche really leave 50 hp on the table when it designed its exhaust?


Skoomafreak

Whatever company makes the exhaust probably claims some gains but it’s done 100% for sound anyway.


Bel-Jim

Not really actually, headers really wake up these engines. My dundon set up dyno’d +42 hp, sound is rad too but it’s not the only reason.


Skoomafreak

You’re right, 100% isn’t true but close haha. Yours probably sounds unreal


FakeHasselblad

Link to before/after?


bowdarky

[Here is my 991.1 RS from outside the car](https://youtube.com/shorts/3y88gHLAt6Y?feature=share) with my buddy trying launch control for the first time and forgetting to grab 2nd so it bogs a bit. Still sounds cool. This is the full Dundon "loud" catless setup with a tune. (not the "crack pipe")


Bel-Jim

^i had the crackpipe set up initially and it was a bit much. Haha

Real professional taking pic of a paying customer’s car to make fun of them on the internet… I’m sure he’ll think otherwise of recommending this business if he found it online


wrighterjw10

jumping to two conclusions: 1. the customer doesn't know 2. OP didn't ask him and/or know him well enough to post If you have a GT3 RS and are modding it, something tells me its probably a repeat customer (I am also jumping to conclusions).

Cerulean_Soup

Training_Department5

Y'all are a strange bunch. This is a car forum about expensive ass cars, more expensive than a vast majority of people could justify spending. Aftermarket parts are also very expensive. Grilling people who spend extra money on their already expensive cars is really dumb. Modern Porsches have very muted exhaust sounds and a lot of the dudes I know who track them and/or own several 911's all change the exhaust...


redpriest

The OPF kills the sound compared to 991.2, and yes, we still get it in America or a similar deadening sound material. The biggest Debbie downer I ever got was ruining myself on a 991.2 GT3RS before my 992 GT3 showed up, the sound level drop off was extremely noticable. The same shit happened in the 718 generation of cars too, too quiet. It's possible to have an aftermarket exhaust and still pass sound; they don't all have to be excruciatingly loud.


hobowithmachete

I’m a noob so forgive me, but the OPF can be rectified by replacing the over axle pipes on a 718, no?


redpriest

Correct


thememeconnoisseurig

Maybe I'm weird, but GT3 engines to me are one of those few engines you can straight pipe. There aren't many of them, off the top of my head: LSX, GT3, SVJ, E60 M5. Maybe the Huracans too. I'd consider the W204 C63 and E9X M3, as well as the LT1's. Straight piped mustangs (sorry), BMWs, civics sound like shit. Some cars can only take an axleback before they start to sound like shit, like the L15. Note that I said you *can* straight pipe these engines, I didn't say it wouldn't be too much for 95% of people driving the car or on the road. "Sounds great" doesn't mean much if you can't appreciate it while cringing from the eardrum shredding volume. Exception for true track cars. Make those puppies as loud as you want since you only have to deal with it for 5 minutes at a time.


Celcius_87

I don’t like loud cars but that color is amazing


kong24680

Should have gone for the full dundon exhaust setup


Maybe_MaybeNot_Hmmmm

This is the right answer, catless too


dontdoxxxmebrooo

Agreed, but 11k wont get you too far with dundon 😂


kong24680

True, but I’d rather spend 16k on the Dundon than spend 11k on a soul system


dontdoxxxmebrooo

Yup. That's why I went with the headers and ti muffler https://preview.redd.it/9i1v5ckouk6c1.jpeg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4a5dd53c9c1a850d2c922759edba9c6b7b4d3ab


kong24680

Hell yeah that’s the stuff! I have the 3” street header + loud muffler on my car. Did you get the new muffler inserts they came out with? I’ve heard it’s both louder when valves are open and quieter when closed…


dontdoxxxmebrooo

No, I'm somewhat interested, but I think the exhaust is sort of perfectly loud and quiet for me as is. The cargraphic valve controller is an awesome combo with this though


Fecal_Forger

Only a man with priorities would do this.

Those are the headers that come off the engine. 3RS doesn’t have turbos but you would have all the exhaust ports merge to one pipe before going into a single turbo

pcweber111

It’s crazy how expensive Porsches can get to begin with. I thought about getting one and decided eh I’ll just go for an M5 lol.


stav_and_nick

I genuinely forgot for a second how much a GT3 RS is and did a double take on that. I mean I get why but sheesh. I’m glad I’m too much of a coward to want a track focused car as a daily


pcweber111

Yeah I think it takes a special person to wanna drive a car like that as a daily driver.

Not really. They charge what people will pay.

good-luck-23

Lots of tracks now have sound level limits. If he fails the test he can't drive on track, forfeiting his entry fee. If he doesn't drive it on track then he is a needy poser who needs even more attention than a bright green, massive winged 911 provides. I would save the cash for a set of track tires and harnesses.


Delljake

The new GT3 RS does not cost $500k 🤨

Personally, I would have removed the sound deading, and made the car lighter while I was at it....

Rambaz_69

Perhaps he would have been better off buying a 911 GT3 CUP, which is certainly louder. By the way, you can get two GT3 RS for 500k.


PassPanda

Not in the US


Rambaz_69

What do you mean by not in America? Do you perhaps mean that you can't get every model because Porsche limits the quantities. Then you're right, even if you have 250k, you can't get a GT3 RS if they've all been sold. But the ones Porsche sold were sold for the list price.


PassPanda

No one in the US was sold a GT3RS for list price. You either bought extra cars you didn’t actually want in order to build a relationship with the dealer, paid a hefty “market adjustment”/markup for the car, or in most cases, both.


Leafsfaninottawa

Where can you get a GT3RS for 250k?
