Default Just bought my first Porsche, a 2018 Cayman S

Purchased from Hennessy Porsche in Roswell, Georgia. The customer service was superb! Fantastic dealer so far.

For detailing, I polished it with a Griots BOSS 15 long throw orbital and put on two layers of Griots PolyWax. Soon I will add in gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra for the ceramic coat but hope to have a protective film added before that.

Really enjoying it so far. Here are some photos...

Ah......
So where is this 'Sounakator ' fuse?
I just bought a '17 Boxster and it sounds much better than the new Cayman I tested at the dealer. Both have stock, base exhausts.

I have not been able to find anything on the "Sounakator". Is this a hoax?

Soundkator (spelling) is not a hoax. There is an artificial noise generator on the 718s (all of the 4 cylinders, not sure about GT4). The fuse for the Soundkator is in the rear hatch on the passenger side. There is a picture of the exact fuse on a thread on the 718 Forum (separate forum from Rennlist). The thread can be confusing because in the beginning some folks pulled the wire to the Soundkator unit. Later a better solution was to pull the fuse. The dealer can do this for you.

Pulling the fuse makes a noticeable difference. My perception was that the Soundkator also added a sensation of vibration (that I did not like)
