EXHAUST SOUND
I searched prior to posting. I previously found out how to get the ultimate sounding 964, but now that I have a 996, I'd like to know if there are any exhausts that meet my requirements and needs. Are there any exhausts out there that will give a stock 996 more a F1, Bike, Ferrari, Carrera GT howl type sound. I have heard Tubi, PSE, AP, Fabspeed etc. and they are more grumbly growly and don't have that smooth sound. I am looking for more trumpet sounding. Perhaps if I am after that type of sound, I should leave the stock sewing machine sound alone?

I was going to ask the same thing.
I would love to have that sport bike type sound.
The neighbour pulled into our street a few weeks ago in a F430.... my god that sounded so fantastic.
Kind of a whiring sound at idle and as he pulled away a high pitched raspy sound.
How do they do that ???

With the 964, you achived that sound by doing a cross over to balance out the cylinder banks. Only a few of us figured it out. No company made an exhaust that made that sound so it needed to be custom, and not that expensive either. Less than those $2000 systems. I was told FVD copied my buddy's idea and was selling a system for like 5K. Ridiculous!
I am hoping someone will chime in and knows what the trick is with a 996. I was at a Porsche track event and I heard a Boxster with that bike sound, but of course it was a race car. It really sounded like an F1 car at idle. I don't like all the aftermarket exhausts I have heard, just too grumbly.

don't make an apple into an orange... an apple tastes good in its own special way.
why would you want your porsche to sound like an F1, bike or F-car? it has a boxer engine. flat six.
accentuate it. PSE is the best i've heard and always set it on "loud" mode!
if you want trumpet, you bought the wrong car.
