Ben-
Since you cant really see them, I would not polish them. I have a polished set on my GT3 and it drives me crazy trying to keep them clean. (I know I am nuts already). They sound awesome!!!

They look great as-is. I'm thinking along the same lines as minoclan and wouldn't bother polishing them. They sit behind the back wheels and will get filthy anyway. Fit them now and drive it ASAP!

112db GT3RS

This system was designed by Flowmaster in Santa Rosa they own the patten on the chamber and use veins to split the exhaust pulses to bring the sound level down too 93db from 112db with the factory megaphones.they designed it out of a series 80 muffler if you look you will see the veins and chamber. Porsche wanted double the cost for a perforated pipe wrapped in steel wool, over time the get louder and blow the wool out the exhaust

I must say the flow of the flowmaster does not look to flow through without hitting a few brick walls so to speak

The Tech. support guy I worked with at Flowmater explained it too me as the pulse is split it bounces of the top and bottom of the skin then comes back together in a (not sure if spelling is right)Wolm chamber where it scavenges and pulls the pulse out, up too a certain RPM but does become restrictive at high rpm's but if you have ever heard 112db is unnerving. this exhaust will pass at Laguna @ 72 deg with only a 10 hp loss,plus tips, Have you ever seen some of the systems they bring out too Laguna. I'll find some and post.
