Muted? I think it sounds awesome. You can actually hear the sound being produced by the motor rather than a bunch of fake shouting on top of it. The downshift at :23 sounds fantastic. I think it's great that the new Spyder and GT4 sounds like a proper sports car rather than shouty snap crackle and pop band. That way, people who want the latter can go get it and the rest of us can enjoy the real soundtrack of intake and motor.

Interesting that the PDK Spyder mule in that video has the GT4 scoops for the intakes.

And don't kid yourself that the GT department wanted the car to sound the way it does, they did the "best" they could with the emission blockade, so this isn't what the car should sound like ideally and anyone saying it's "pure" is kidding themselves.

Not saying it's not great for others, but personally, I want this car to sound as close to a Porsche race car as much as possible. Race cars are LOUD, and it's not all induction sound (which is great to have no doubt), but want all the crazy sound drama that can come from a FLAT 6. I want this car to sound like a proper GT3 race car with all the drama that entails -- this video shows me NONE of that, and therefore is sounding weak and muted.

I have no doubt with the OPF delete, and an exhaust mod of choice, everyone can have what they want for their preferred flat 6 sound- racey, sporty, or reserved. I even think without going as far as sport cats, you can still get to that amazing engine tone we all know the 4.0L has in it.

Like I said, the benefit of this situation is that everyone gets what they want. Much easier to add the loud than remove the loud. I loved my 981, but the phony soundtrack was an annoyance that I would have preferred to live without.
