I always thought the rear end was too much advertising. Total overkill. A 911 never had "PORSCHE" emblems before. I think this may be for the markets in China where people don't know what a Porsche is. There is a place in the order guide where you can delete the emblems.

I received my Sharkwerks exhaust via UPS last Tues had it installed on my C4S Cab on Weds. I have the factory PSE on my 991 so the Sharkwerks is in addition to PSE.
With every button left off (Sport/Sport+/PSE) it's loud. Louder than the factory PSE. Sounds really good. Lower tone, and throatier than the factory PSE. Now when I turn on just PSE. The sound gets deeper and slightly louder and with Sport/+ and PSE on it gets to another level of mean! The pops and gurgles when you let off the accelerator are much more substantial than the factory PSE. I had a friend drive it while I was standing on the side of the road and it sounds great. People will know you're coming down the road.
But I have a problem with this exhaust. I'm getting a wicked resonance/drone in the car with the top down. No problem w. the top up. I've been email Alex at Sharkwerks and he's been great. Super responsive with emails and he's come up with a couple suggestions on how I might be able to fix it. He did say that they haven't done an install on a cab.
Sadly if I can't sort this issue out I'm going to have to pull it out of the car. I like to take long road trips in the car to the beach and to the mountains w. the top down and won't be able to do it if the car gives me a constant headache with the top down. Not an issue with the top up, but who wants to drive a Cab with the top up all the time.

This is the same issue I'm having, I love the exhaust when im around town controlling the rpm . But on a long drive with cruise control on there is an drone at around 2100 rpm.
