Default New to porsche, don't like look of 991.2 sport exhaust

Hello everyone, currently considering ordering my first porsche, but have a bit of a conundrum: I like the sound clips of the sport exhaust I've heard, but I don't like the look of the twin centerish mounted exhaust tips at all. Granted, I'm sure nothing is out yet, but are there likely to be valve-actuated aftermarket options available to someone who didn't order the factory sport exhaust? I'm not against just having something that's always noisey either, but I'd prefer the optionality if it'll be available.

I would guess there will be an active after market with several choices.

Could one get PSE with the last year exhaust or the default exhaust vs the new exhaust? Won't this be possible if one is buying new

This along with the turbos are why I went with the 991 GTS. Not sure what Porsche was thinking moving away from the quad tip exhaust. Does not look good at all IMO.

If the tips can be removed like the current 991.1 maybe send them out for a satin black ceramic coating. Maybe you'll like them better when not chrome and shiny.

Their location and size, to me, is going to be offputting in any color. I much prefer the more outboard quad tips.

Graphite Blue Metallic - what a colour, love it.
The exhaust looks OK and besides, it can't been seen when you're having fun. Just not sure of the sound:

I think the rear end holes are a bigger problem than the center exhaust

The 991.2 can double as a grill. Heat the car up, put the steak on the rear grill, throttle until desired done-ness.

They don't bother me so much, and honestly...with the tailpipes right next to them, your eye is drawn to the pipes instead.

Careful with the website builder soundclips. For a long while they had new soundclips of the 991.2 turbo car and had not updated the (single) PSE clip. You would navigate to PSE from the turbo car and hear the NA car sound.

The PSE clip has since been changed but quite honestly it still doesn't sound right to me.

In any case, welcome to the club of not liking the centered exhaust.

the exhaust tips are growing on me. That color is beautiful.
