Best Sounding Exhaust
New to the Porsche family. What would be your recommendation for exhaust on a 2009 4S? I am still learning why so many mufflers. I am use to two.... Just trying to get better sound and free up some horsepower. What is the best sounding exhaust and what mods would you make? Thanks.

Just do your research.

Ironman88, I didn't know that this was your forum and you were the moderator to make judgment on others. Just asking a simple question and new to the 997 community. I was in the middle of a deal to buy a 997.2 and googled information on the car and any known problems and the article came up. I understand the internet can give false information but wanted to be sure and I know people on the forum know these cars. Most are very helpful unlike you. If you don't like the post, move along. No reason to make these comments. And yes, next time I will try to remember to use the search engine before asking a question. Again, just move along sir....

One thing I think most agree on though is that the center muffler on the 997.2 has to go. If you just tinker with or replace the side mufflers I think chances are you'll be disappointed.

Thank you sandwedge for a productive response. I do appreciate your help, as I am a newbie, and will look into that modification. Unfortunately my car does not have the PSE option so that is why I am going to want to change the mufflers. The 2009 stock exhaust is too quiet for me. By the way, beautiful car that you have there....

My arrived at exhaust combo is (997.2 C2S manual):
Fabspeed 200 cell headers. Expensive, shiny, cool, the secret to sonorous success.
Standard centre muffler. Not the devil everyone else says it is.
Standard PSE side cans 2nd hand from a wreck, with hillbilly remote control. I designed & implemented the control.
991.1 PSE tips, made 'em fit. Done.
TopGear centre muffler delete x pipe. In combination with PSE and 200 cell cats. Hideous, drove around with PSE valve permanently closed. (now relegated to the shed).
Have fun on your own journey, everyone's tastes are different, embrace.

FWIW on the gundo/fister
With out PSE I would look into the Fister or Gundo 'hacks/mods' https://fdmotorsports.net/shop/ols/categories/9972 They both basically bypass a section of the side muffler can and act as an always on PSE. They modify your existing side muffler cans. This combined with some kind of center muffler delete (sharkwerks or what have you) seems to be a good amount of noise most people like.
Gundo is the EU version of the Fister mod.

If you want racecar sound then a full header back iPE setup. Mind you I'm heavily biased.
