Cars and Coffee attendees need loud exhausts. Rev a little to make sure everyone knows you've just arrived in your GT3 engined Cayman.
Track 4RS's need factory exhaust to pass noise levels at any track. Ain't nobody got time for installing turndowns etc.
The sound comes from inside for the occupants. It's a drivers focused car.

It looks just like the particle filters in the GT3 headers if you have ever see a pic of those. I just removed the rear tires, un-bolted the OAP's and rotate so you can access the end from the back of the car (don't actually need to remove them) and then break the filter material out of them.

That's the thing: these cars are optimized for the track, not the road, and that can make them less than ideal for the road, especially for drivers who aren't skilled and aggressive. For those who want a road-focused car, Porsche offers cars like the SC, S/T, SRS, and all the non-GT cars.

Certainly, there are some aesthetic and acoustic features of the car that aren't necessary for the track. But IMO, the general point remains that this car is aggressive because it's optimized for the track.

Whether Porsche Motorsport was inspired by Singer's DLS that appeared in 2019, I couldn't say. But there's no question that the development of the upper intakes was function-first, specifically for racing.
Note that the car below is not an RS, but the GT4 Clubsport Nolasport ran in 2020.
