Default Does my 991 have a Sport Exhaust?

I just bought a certified 2013 S Cab, pictures to come soon! The Monroney doesn't list a Sport Exhaust, but the car has the button, and it is significantly louder/better when on. I haven't found anything that indicates this being part o another package, or that it was added by the PO aftermarket. Any pointers are appreciated, as my searches here and on the web haven't yielded anything helpful.

Thanks!

Look at it, it should have 2 central squarish mufflers that come to an x with valves on it in the middle. Almost directly aft of the drive pulley. This app is not letting me post a pic or I would.

Have this button? Light go on when pressed?

It could have been added on afterwards and not part of the original build. If you have the button, it should be there!

I added PSE at the dealer when I bought preowned. The car service records in the Porsche database should include this work. Ask your service adviser to look.

If it has a different deeper tone when pressed it was probably added after the purchase. MY money says you have it enjoy . You most likely have the shinny exhaust tips as well.

Who cares if you actually have it, if you think you do that's all that really matters! :-) It serves no purpose but to make you happy!

easiest way to tell is listening to it. If it has a deeper throaty note and the "popping/gurgling" on downshifts after pressing you have it. It's not subtle, believe me lol. Def a must have option imo

Thanks for the tips, no pun intended! This is my 7th Porsche, but the first in a long while, and it sounds great.

Here's a picture of the valve actuators on my PSE equipped car:
