MBRP Exhaust for the New Porsche 991 GT3

MBRP has decided to take its racing background and superior quality exhaust systems to show off in the Porsche market… and we love it!  The new MBRP Porsche 991 GT3 center exhaust muffler is one of the most common upgrades for GT3 owners.  The new MBRP exhaust is all black ceramic coated for a stealthy look but also to keep exhaust heat down.  With the intake system right above the exhaust, the more you can minimalize heat, and reduce weight, the faster the already blistering fast GT3 will go.  It features beautifully shaped dual tips built into the exhaust design.  Working as a OEM replacement, the center muffler will give your GT3 a more ripping sound while still working with the factory PSE valves and other exhaust components.  The bigger kicker here, NO PORSCHE TAX!  The exhaust system retails for $899.99 but you can get yours at the competitive price of only $764.99!  Order Your Porsche 991 GT3 Exhaust Here.  Shop all MBRP Exhaust Systems Here.

New CSF Aluminum Radiators Launched for the Porsche 996 and 997

Finally someone has come up with an aluminum radiator kit for the Porsche 911 and its awesome! Every vehicle we have built has had an upgraded aluminum radiator to keep the temps down from high horsepower engines whether used on the street or track. CSF Radiators has just relased their radiator upgrade options for the 996, 997, 987 vehicles. This includes the Carrera, Turbo, GT3, Boxster, and Cayman.

Left and Right Radiators
CSF has listened to the community and have developed the world’s 1st high performance “drop-in” fit replacement for the 911 (996) and Boxster (986). All weak plastic mounting points and end tanks that are prone to breaking under bumper contact or high vibrations have been CNC machined in military-grade aluminum for unbreakable strength. Even better, this unit is interchangeable for both the left and right side bumpers. CSF is the first and ONLY radiator company to CNC machine all their brackets and fittings for the world’s strongest and best drop-in fit radiator featuring an exclusive “B-Tube” technology. Another world’s 1st and exclusive unit from CSF.

“B-Tube” technology – Unlike a regular oval shape “O” type radiator tube, CSF uses a specialy engineered tube in a shape of a “B”. These “B-tubes” are carefuly formed and then brazed over the seam to seal. CSF is able to use thinner and lighter aluminum material (better cooling efficiency) because this design is actually stronger than normal “O” shape tubes that are welded. The design (inlet in the middle of tube that is seam brazed) increases the heat transfer surface area of the tube by approximately 15% over regular tubes. You get the efficiency of 2 smaller tubes vs. 1 large tube within the same space criteria. With “B-tubes” you are able to get “dual liquid laminar flow”

Features:
Drop-in replacement
CNC machined in military-grade aluminum
Interchangeable for both the left and right
Exclusive “B-Tube” technology

Quicksilver Porsche GT3 Exhaust Testing and Review

We recently had the opportunity to test the Quicksilver exhaust system for the Porsche 997 GT3.  Quicksilver based in the UK, manufactures exhausts for high end sports cars and other luxury marquees such as Lotus, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Audi, Porsche, and more.  Having been a Quicksilver dealer for a number of years, we have been able to sell many of their systems to clients around the world.  However besides a couple installs here and there, we really never got a chance to put our hands on a system to truly see the quality and excitement that Quicksilver delivers.  Working with the team in the UK, they got us one of their exhausts to fit on our Porsche GT3RS.

The GT3 factory exhaust is made up into 3 parts.  You have the headers, the side mufflers, and then the center muffler.  A majority of the exhausts available are just the center muffler replacement.  These do reduce weight, but because of the incredible performance and design of the GT3, they really dont add to much gain except for sound.  What Quicksilver did is make their exhaust a direct fit to the headers eliminating the secondary mufflers.  What this did is really open up the performance of the GT3′s mid to top end power range.  Less restriction, more exhaust flow.  Some low end torque is compromised, but for a car that was designed for the track, we are pretty sure 2000-3000rpm is not important!

Driving the the car with the Quicksilver exhaust gives you a different animal.  The rumble of the exhaust is much louder and deeper then the normally aspirated reserved sound.  Because of the removal of the secondary mufflers and the open can design, the Quicksilver exhaust is not for the faint at heart.  Going through the throttle makes you feel like that checkered flag is near.  Aesthetically, the exhaust is nice.  The included dual tips and vband clamp design to the headers requires some adjusting to get it set, but once done, it has a very OEMish quality.  The Quicksilver exhaust weighs a total of 22.15lbs.  The stock center muffler with secondary mufflers weighs a total of 58.25lbs.  Thats just over 36lb weight savings!  If you are looking for a quality race exhaust for your 2007-2012 Porsche GT3 or GT3RS, then the Quicksilver is definitely a great option!

Weighed with the Agency Power center exhaust and titanium tip.  This was subtracted out of secondary muffler weight.
