Default Need more sound - help!

I have a new 997 with stock exhaust. I want a more aggressive sound! Should I get sport exhaust from the dealer or some other brand? Do I pick up HP? The dealer said there is no performance increse because the restriction is in the CAT's. Is this BS?

Agree 100%

Search the threads in the 997 forum for PSE - there's a lot of information, including cheaper places to buy PSE than your dealer.
