This gives a pretty good illustration too.
2017 RSR (pre LM) had the megaphones straight off the headers. So again 2x 3cyl sound, as per OEM 718 GT4 design.
2017 RSR (LM spec) gathered the tips at the centre so you hear the full 6 together. Note that this still has no merge but just graphically shows just how much difference it makes to the sound. With a merge the sound would be even more in this direction.
The latest gen RSR has side exits so even further accentuates the 2x 3cly sound track.
I'd challenge anyone to find someone who doesn't find the central exit sound the most desirable!

yes, I have already owned a 991.2 gt3 manual and 991.2 gt3rs pdk. I'm looking to get into a 981 spyder if I decide to get out of this 718 gt4

.................. I am really starting to think the 981 gt4 is the better car. If you just compare price when new, $86,000 for a base car without options including delivery compared to a 718 gt4 at $100,500 without options including delivery. Now you have to add at least $5k to fix quiet exhaust. So far I am really disappointed and wished I kept my stripper 981 GT4 that I sold a few years ago due to the hype the 718 GT4 was getting a 4 liter
Even if you replace the exhaust, my prediction is that 982 still wouldn't be able to match 981! I've been pouring over every bit of info and processing all the variables. At least you have a car with you to drive and make an educated analysis. I'm relying owners like yourself to make an assessment. Sound is one critical aspect. There are # of other variables that are significant, at least to me. For the record, I'm still on the list for the Spyder. But, I won't compromise with my expectations.
Thanks for being honest with your feedback.

Reading thru this thread bums me out. I wasn't planning on adding an aftermarket exhaust system. Then reading the comments from
JCR about the 2x 3 cyl 2.0 sound, makes me even more bummed out. I hope someone comes up with a way to join the left and right banks.

WOW!!! This is a shocker!

I've a very long time to decide! My target is MY22 or PTS, whichever happens first. I'm gonna wait out and see what products tuners come out with. My preference is to salvage the situation by replacing selective components. I've been waiting for this car for about 4 years now! Not gonna give up easily! Won't compromise either!

981 gt4 was perfect for me, just enough of power for the street, great sounds, less costly. dont want to pay the $400k for the 997.2 gt3 rs 4.0 as I want to drive it and not collect. For under $100k used, a 981 gt4 or spyder is a great buy

For all those planning exhaust modification (myself included), will it be a good idea to do break in procedure first before any modifications?
I would also like to experience the stock exhaust first for a bit and then modify so that I can appreciate the difference
Edit post - jcr, do you have any videos of the non silenced race pipe? Would equipping the opf delete pipe in conjunction with the non silenced race pipe be the answer for those looking to achieve the most volume? Im guessing those in the USA will want the opf delete pipe as well.

Similarly, we have customers who have the exhaust before their cars have even arrived after hearing the stock car in person.
I think many US owners were hopeful of the ‘non OPF’ sound despite us giving that info months ago but it’s now apparent that everything sounds the same regardless of the region

I think it’s personal preference. We have customer who are going about it in this way.

I edited my post above whenever you get a chance to reply that would be great
