Default Some love for the 997.1

If it has been posted before, sorry, but I recently saw this video:


Interesting comment about how the engine noise and exhaust notes are different, between the DFI engine and non DFI. Because of the in-efficienies in the non-DFI, it results in some of the quirkiness or 'shudder' (such as during engine start up), as well as the deeper growl and rumble. The added center muffler of course is part of the difference, but even when the center muffler is deleted (my friend did it on his 997.2), it still does not sound the same as the 997.1.

M9x also retain more of the classic “vacuum cleaner” - meant in a good way - Porsche sound than the DFI motors.
