Default evaluation exhaust sound

My 997.2 C4S MY 2010 came in last week and will be ready for pick up on Monday. I ran the engine for a minute and was not disappointed at all by the exhaust sound. Will this sound change over time? I'll put 20K miles per year on it.

You'll notice that at cold start ups the exhaust sound is louder

After a minute or so, revs drop and so does the exhaust sound

I have a Sharkwerks bypass pipe and I am very happy with it. Easy mod, wallet friendly, doesn't void your warranty and gives you 10 HP/TQ or so

I suggest you drive the car first about 2 weeks and get familiar with it, until then you'll be able to draw a conclusion if the stock exhaust sound is enough or not...

When it comes to high-performance vehicles I usually am happy with the stock exhaust for the first few weeks, then I get used to it and want something more aggressive.

I think the stock engine sounds good, but I did end up retro-fitting the PSE. The sound is noticeably deeper.

I never mod a car, but I want to mod this one! I want the sharkwerks or fvd or tubi....I guess the growl of the M6 left a lasting impression on me. Now, which one to get????

I would go with that Sharkwerks bypass if I had the 997.2 ^

Jen, you can't go wrong with either Sharkwerks x-pipe or AWE tuning cross pipe. They both sound very similar, but I think the AWE cross pipe is a bit raspier. I had the Sharkwerks pipe on the C2S PDK and decided to try the AWE cross pipe this time on the Cab. I like them both. BTW, if you like, Chris still has my Sharkwerks x-pipe. I can sell it to you at a fraction of the cost.

Your cab is not satisfying your needs?? You're crazy!!

I know how you feel and that's why I have a cab now. I have absolutely no regrets. If you can afford it and not break the bank as the result, then get what you want...that's how I see it. Life is too short.

Thanks for the compliment. I love the black Sport Design rims and the SY combo.

I'll shoot you an email or PM later regarding the x-pipe. You're gonna love that sound, especially with the top down!!!

and PCCB's, too! After reading numerous threads about them, I feel they are worth the price of admission. I hate brake dust. But, the next car I buy will be exactly what I want and it will be the keeper!

total 911 did a great 3 part story on the PCCB's. - i think it was M,J,J issues.

hey jlinmnd - does the AWE get a bit loud for hwy crusing? i find with the PSE on both of mine that i only turn it off on the hwy - not always but most of the time.

i do like the u tube etc sound clips on those AWE X pipes!
