Agree with the group, sport and sport exhaust are a must. I rarely turn them off. I've only had my car a few months, but I've noticed I'm always fiddling between sport, sport+, suspension and exhaust. Just kind of fun figuring out the differences and dialing things in to my liking.
I just hope that the Akrapovic lives up to my expectations. I haven't heard it in real life -- only YouTube videos. Can anyone offer input on whether the Akrapovic exhaust sounds significantly better than stock PSE? I'm sure that I would personally never pay the thousands of dollars necessary to put it on a car. I'm just fortunate that the car I'm looking at right now already has it, paid for by the previous owner. What do you guys think?

You will absolutely love it. I bought and installed it on my GTS. To me it was worth every penny. It gave me the exact exhaust note I was looking for. To my ears it is much more enjoyable than the PSE, which just didn't have quite enough bark for me. No drone down the highway with valves closed, open them up and it's glorious.
Thanks for reinforcing this decision for me, anonymous-Rennlist-member-who-I'll-never-meet-in-real-life! I value your opinion!

I too intstalled high flow cats & headers and they definitely make the PSE sound juuuust right! Unlike the OP, I crank my Burmester every time. Nothing like head banging to loud music and sick exhaust notes!

Did you just install the Arkra cat?
I have a 2019 Targa 4 GTS. I am curious about "upgrading the Porsche Sport Exhaust -- but not too much -- as this is my daily driver". I assume the best setup is an Akra "cat / center exhaust swap"? Can you confirm? Can you PM me the cost?
The reason I ask for such specifics (exactly what you did -- and what you opted NOT to do) is I have a 2018 991.2 GT3 and I swapped the factory center section for a GMG exhaust center. It transformed the sound of the GT3 from an interesting power drill sound to a raging chain saw. I love it for when I want to go into hooligan mode but don't want to do that with my Targa 4 GTS.
Thanks for more detail.

I wish I could offer more advice for your situation. My car is a 2016, so unfortunately I won't have a correct statement for you. I only went with the slip-on section, and for a daily driver, it is perfect.

So if I’ve read this right, some of you have installed high flow cats (200 cell) with your PSE? And an even more aggressive sound note with that mod?
I’ve never done an exhaust mod, the PSE is just perfect from my experience, which clearly is limited here.

To your point, I have to admit, I have been playing with the Burmester mostly due to some of my P car friends pissed (or jealous) I keep the radio off, but now I do really like it in "LIVE" mode and I did bump up all tone levels and kicked the bass as well. Holy crap, the bass at speed is Gold Tooth Rattling !!
