this video has a great comparison of sound between T and GT3T. cue to 12:00 to hear the T "pass some gas".

I'm fortunate to have both a T (manual) and GT3 (PDK). Honestly what I really wanted if Porsche AG made such a thing would be a GT3 Touring with a back seat, which I would glad use as my daily.

In the end the T is my daily driver, already have >2K miles on it and only took delivery in early December. It's a pretty capable car for road use, turbo 3.0 power band is great for that purpose, while still being engaging and feeling slightly special. My 3 year old rides in the back seat and I threw Pilot Alpins on for the New England winter. The exhaust note is not the same as an NA car of course, but it sounds pretty good to me. Wouldn't mind if it was a bit louder with PSE on. You don't feel the weight reduction of the lightweight glass and reduced sound deadening, but it makes the T feel and sound like a GT car which makes everyday driving a little more fun.

The GT3 is my street/track combo. I can drive it for everyday use to the supermarket or to work or whatever and it works fine, and I can drive to track and then use the car there as intended. If I only had the GT3 I wouldn't drive it every day so in that regard I really appreciate that the T brings a little special 911 into every day.

Im fortunate to have a 19 RS and a 2010 GT3. Will likely be adding a T as my daily. Tune, 200 cell cats, and MPSC2 and it should be super fun. If needed source Girodisc or S rotors, pads, calipers.

I drove Sean's Carrera T and was blown away by how fun and spunky it was. He has a sharkwerks center muffler delete on it and it braps with the best of them. Very fun car, especially for $100k.

The 3.0L Turbo don't have side mufflers, only center. I installed the SOUL Performance Cats and kept the OEM muffler. Sound increased enough and gave a much deeper sound. It is a worth while upgrade and cost is around $2000 plus 3 hrs of labor. SOUL stocks them so only one week delivery.
The SOUL CATS are excellent fit and easy install.

Good to know, thanks. I've heard about and read some on the SOUL Performance stuff, will have to take a closer look.

It is actually the stock exhaust . It’s the RS that has the sharkwerks.

Sharewerks does now have a muffler delete for the 991.2. Thinking hard about this for my T. Loved the bypass on my 997 GT3.

$86k seems very low for a $111k msrp car for anyone looking to join Club T

Excellent price for sure. Been seeing about 10% off for in stock 2019s so this in the low range for an 18 with 3K miles.

Not sure about Rennlist add since a dealer is selling same car for 95k.

Thank you for sharing this, I hadn't come across it yet. I was set on the Soul sport cats, but now wondering how this would compare. would be nice to have a dyno. sound? performance? quality? Would appreciate any thoughts on one vs the other....or....installing both?!

From cold start, from low RPM to high RPM. In terms of aggressiveness/emotion it's spot on/surprisingly good IMO. And at cold start/*lower* RPMs I would say it's louder than a stock .2 GT3 with PSE on
