Default Does it ever get old?

I'm talking about the burble and pop on the exhaust overrun.

It never gets old for me. In fact, every time I hear it it's like having an metallurgical garage band in your trunk. Not synthesized. Not amped up. All acoustic. And all awesome.

As this is my first 911, it's hard for me to say whether this is just something that'll get old over time, but damn, after 6 months of ownership, it's an orgasmic symphony. Especially when you lift off throttle. Or downshift.

Hasn't gotten old for me. 13+ months here. Can't see it getting old either. It just sounds too darned good.

My buddy has a Turbo S and is jealous of my exhaust note. Fortunately for him that's all he's jealous about with my car.

Not old here. I can't see owning a 991 without PSE. The only time my car isn't in Sport is when I'm warming her up and when I pass johnny law in the opposite direction.

When I drive my other cars I find myself reaching for the left paddle so I can downshift manually out of auto just to hear that blip and overrun

I feather the throttle all the time to induce a little Porsche music.

Although it's growing on me, I still prefer a more organized exhaust note. The chaos of the 911 is cool but annoys me at times.

I find that I leave it in Sport mode 99 percent of the time to hear the PSE...I am sure the gas mileage isn't as great that way but it is so much more fun to drive and the sound is fantastic hahaha!

I think your tolerance level for chaos is low. Certainly lower than the average **** person's.

I've seen pictures of your garage.
