Sports exhaust vs normal exhaust - can we revisit this again for new comers?

One thing peculiar that I have noticed, my wife has a 992 C4S with PSE, which is downright loud compared to my TTS. Almost to the point that you would think it had an aftermarket exhaust. Every time I drive it someone wants to race…
So definite variance from model to model.

Interestingly, I think the 992 TTS sounds better than the Carrera S.
It's all personal taste.

Outside of better sound and weight reduction is there any data around the benefits of an aftermarket exhaust like Kline, Akra, fabspeed, soul, etc? From what I understand the biggest constriction on the exhaust is 800 cell cats, and that the PSE actually result decently for flow compared to aftermarket. I was planning on just doing a 100 or 200 cell sport cats with the PSE that reason, but was wondering if there is concrete data.

Saved 30 lbs on JCR iconel cats and titanium centre. Constriction is def at the cats rather than the PSE.
200 cell cats is the way to go if you are happy with the PSE

My primary goal with the exhausts is to improve sound - the car is already beyond what my driving style needs as far as power goes, but the sound does not do justice to what the car is capable of. Like the tiny hands of a T-Rex 😄
I just signed up for a full Capristo valved exhaust system with 200 cell sport cats. Will report back when it’s installed.

Sport exhaust sounds a little better and looks a little better IMO, I replaced the stock exhaust with Kline headers, catless and Kline exhaust, my car was ordered with the sport exhaust, in normal mode exhaust valves closed my car is slightly louder than stock, zero drone, in sport mode and sport plus it sounds more like a V8, and half to full throttle it screams like you can not believe a 6 cylinder could make that noise. The standard exhaust much like the 991 exhaust I had and modded on several 991's, unless you add valves you have no control of exhaust noise

Every engine configuration has its charms, we need to appreciate them for what they are.

I think the 992 iteration of the turbo sounds much better than the 991 version. I loved the speed of the 991 but felt detached due to the lack of participation from the exhaust system. Simply put the car felt sterile.
In the 992 TTS the exhaust notes with their pops and cracks (Sport Mode during downshifts and off throttle moments) sounds perfect. I almost thought the car had an aftermarket exhaust the first time I drove in sport mode. Debating to go with 200 cats for additional sound.

I liked the look of the more rectangle look of the standard exhaust over the sport exhaust until I actually saw it in person and heard my car. I struggled on what to get for a while. I don’t know about the programming at the dealer, however at $250 MRSP on my build, the price of the sports exhaust wasn’t a make or break option. I finally decided to get the sport exhaust and loved it.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.
