I think it is more a matter of hearing loss than a love it or hate it scenario. I think you probably have to be half deaf to love the sound of the deletes. HAHA
To be fair, I have never heard the delete pipes on a 996 in person, although I have always wanted to hear them live. I think the only water cooled 911s that I have heard with delete pipes were race cars in the pits/garages and on track.

Maybe love it or hate it isn't the right way to put it but I think its highly subjective. I used to ride around in muscle cars with long tubes and no cats, is it that loud? I don't think I would personally want to daily that at this point in my life but for a weekend car I wouldn't mind.

Yep, same day, same conditions.
OEM exhaust came off the car. The custom exhaust was designed and fabricated over the course of a week. The custom exhaust was removed (to be fully welded), OEM exhaust reinstalled. Then, scheduled the appointment for the dyno, did the base runs and then installed the custom exhaust for the final pulls.

The guy who designed the exhaust was a former Indy Car engineer, fabricator and mechanic. He's been building and restoring race cars for years, and on rare occasions, incredible exhaust systems. He came to the US from New Zealand after spending a good amount of time in Australia dealing with the V8 Supercars. He's now building custom high-end, big-dollar hot rods for special customers.

I'm driving mine as a daily driver and as I mentioned I did add the CC inserts which made it a bit quieter and reduced the drone. But when I think about all the loud Harleys driving around, I think they are much louder than these cars with the deletes.
