True, but in the video I linked to, it has a nice deep throaty sound to it. Really nice. Then again, it's inside the car, so who knows if it's more artificial/sound symposer than true motor sound. But it's better than the other videos have indicated.

EDIT: Ah, here's the answer from the other thread: To help maintain a respectable flat-six wail, Porsche added plumbing to bring induction noise into the cabin. It works.

That makes sense, as the sound in that video definitely rings of intake noise.

the bottom line is how it sounds from the driver's seat ...since it is the driver who is forking out the dough...not total strangers you pass and " impress " ( but in reality **** off ) on the street !

You are most likely not familiar with the Europipe exhausts from Europe. Had 4 previous Porsche TT's, 3 of which had the Europipe exhausts and they sounded glorious. If sound is the only issue with these new models, and I can't believe that this would be a deal breaker, then there will be really good exhausts to choose from. I run a Kline Iconel on my 4S and it way more throaty than the PSE the car came with.

Too much speculation and not enough facts on this thread and others here in this and other forums. I'm waiting to see the real car.

I'll take a friendly wager that soon enough you will have Porsche offer NA sounds through the speakers. Muscle car V8? Sure! Press this button. Mezger engine sound? Press this button. Ferrari V12? Press this button. Dump truck? Press this button. And so on...

Lame really...
