Sport exhaust is a must option.
I test drove both a 2014 C2S with a sport exhaust and sport chrono and a 2010 turbo with PDK.
Coming from owning an Ariel Atom for 6 years, a car which stimulates every sense in your body, I was quite disappointed in the Porsche Turbo.
Don't get me wrong it was light speed fast, probably faster than my Atom, but it was really quiet and did not stimulate the ears like the C2S with the sport exhaust.
The sounds you get in the C2S from pushing the sport plus button and from the sport exhaust is simply intoxicating.
I'm very surprised that the sport exhaust option is so rarely ticked off, at least on the stock dealer vehicles.
In my opinion it's a must.

It does, and that's why Porsche uses it in conjunction with the PowerKit. And it does "perform better" since it sounds better. Not all performance is limited torque and 0-60 times. Some of is tactile and auditory.

I'll go along with the Tac & Aud. theory if at least it's lighter, otherwise, not so much.

ON that note has anyone asked their dealer if our cars can be programmed to be in Sport mode with the PSE on at start up default?
The first thing I do after letting the coolant car warm up to 194 deg. F is hit the Sport mode. The only time I turn off the PSE is if I'm passing a cop or pulling into my neighborhood late at night.
