Hello!
I am moving from a BMW (temporarily
) to Porsche and in that "research / obsession" phase. This site has been extremely helpful.
Does anyone know if the sports exhaust option can be added after the fact?
Story:
I test drove two cars: 991s PDK cabrio and 991 Manual 4s. I am coming from an M3 manual tranny.
This is my first Porsche experience and it was rather interesting. I was not all that excited after test driving the 4S manual. I was a bit let down as I had super high expectations going in. The car was planted firmly and was exceptional in turns, but the power wasn't there, and the engine drama was lacking. Then I test drove the PDK cabrio.
.... I was blown away.
Turns out the 991s had the sports exhaust along with chrono package and other sports options. I feel that the sports exhaust coupled with the PDK made a world of a difference. The drama was definitely there and it almost made it feel like a real sports car. I am still not sure if its the 4s vs s, or the sports options added or the PDK that made the difference, but I am 100% certain I need to get that sports exhaust option.
Unfortunately, I am looking for a car quickly (no time to order) and most of the cars I am finding don't have the sports exhaust option. Is this something that can be installed? I found one post on this forum about someone who did but wasn't completely sure. Any idea of costs?
Thanks!
