Default Second week with new to me 991.1

Exhaust questions, I have PSE with a base 3.4, sounds ok with valves closed, but with valves open the drone is pretty unpleasant. I’m used to loud exhaust from my Mustang
Bullitt but this isn’t really loud just drones. I had a 1974 Karmann Ghia that I put a bug pack exhaust on and quite frankly it sounded much better than this 3.4 flat 6, especially at idle. Is there a solution to this because I freaking LOVE this car but it’s hard for me to believe that a VW 1600 with stock exhaust and bug pack ceramic coated mufflers can sound better than a PSE, but what do I know I’m a newbie to Porsche, obviously the performance of the 991 is light years ahead but I’m not happy with the sound, can anyone help?

That Ghia looks great! What color is that?

As for the drone, maybe plug-up your sound symposer??
