Not mention, I am running 8 degree shims (more downforce=speed loss) and running heavier tires.
Leading evidence: 'Run 8 degree shims (more downforce=speed loss)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 8 degree shims (more downforce=speed loss)' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First of all, keep in mind, this is for DEing and not club racing.
With that said, I have a couple DE weekends coming up (4 days of track time). My dilemma is whether I should put on my muffler bypass pipes. It's pretty sweet sounding, but the downside is torque loss.
I'm in the intermediate group, and running solo. So I'm not sure which will have more fun factor -> blasting down the long straights or pulling out of the low speed corners.
Any thoughts?

DE = Drivers Education
Basically it means driving your car around a closed track and learning about how to control the vehicle at high speed. It is not considered racing because it is not competitive. No lap times and no winners or losers. Some organizations also call it HPDE which stand for "High Performance Drivers Education".

Thanks guys. It's what we call "Cursos de conducci�n".
It's a good way to learn how to control a car where you get into troubles. Oversteer, understeer, braking, wet surface, slippy track... It helps you a lot as a secure way.
I've been studing english for several years (when I was at College and beggining University) but I left it. At now I'm recovering a little bit everyday, doing what I love = Porsche world.
In Spain we don't have a good Porsche culture. Germany, UK and USA are a few light years far from us, and in this forum we can find a very good bag of information. Thanks everybody to help me feel a rennlister. I'll try to add as much as possible.
Yes and no. You lose just a bit down low but you gain it back up high! Trust me on this one. If you spend you entire day between 5-8K rpm you have no worries
I ran with another GT3 friend at VIR a couple weeks back and I pulled ever so slightly from him on the back straight. Not mention, I am running 8 degree shims (more downforce=speed loss) and running heavier tires.
Dell,
8K -> you must have a GT3. Yeah, yeah, yeah, rub it in
I'm finally going to get to test out the M030. It's been so long since I was out, I don't even know if I'll remember the stock feel.

M030 is big fun. It makes the car more inclined to rotate, and it seems to make the car's balance much more sensitive to small changes in tyre pressure (caveat emptor: this analysis is based on just two track days at very limited talent level, and is therefore worth slightly less than you paid for it
)
Bypass pipes at the track ROCK! (Ask me how I know.
) They make the whole experience that much better.
You left out some of the other positives of using the pipes...less weight at the back of the car (I can feel the difference in my GT3) and lower engine compartment temps (it was triple-digits when I was at Thunderhill yesterday).
Sheesh, this is a total no-brainer. Save the mufflers for your trips to church and the grocery store.
