I haven't heard a 997.1 with PSE so I can't make a comparison. All I know is I love the sound of my 997.2 with PSE. I'm not out to make a "statement" with my exhaust; it's tone and volume are perfect for me.

The 991 is going to be a winner in sound! Listen to this test driver hit the rev limiter at the end of this video!

Is the only way around this to remove the plug/cable thing in the engine bay I've heard about?
I like the fact I can turn PSE on and off at will, but I do want it to be "on" all the time when I do turn it on.

Dan, here's my take on this......I had a 2001 996 and put a fabspeed exhaust on it and it sounded kind of cool and kind of loud....my nephew loved it but he was 14 at the time !
With my 2006 997 I left it stock and i really liked the sound...I thought it was loud enough for me. Now with the 2010 .2 I still love the stock exhaust...again it's loud enough for me....I actually wouldn't prefer it any louder. Maybe a function of being 63 years old!

I have PSE on my 2006 (non S) and was wondering why it seemed to drop out on me at certain revs. Then, when I stab the throttle a little, it kicks back in again.

My experiences:
996: Stock exhaust, disappointing. Installed PSE, huge improvement!
997.1: Stock exhaust, much better, actually quite nice, but still lacking a bit. Installed PSE, nice improvement!
997.1TT: Stock exhaust, very, very disappointing! Found a good deal on a Milltek exhaust from a fellow RL'r, nice improvement. Still not loud enough for my taste, but a nice all around compromise and very definite improvement over stock.
917 with straight pipes - my idea of the ideal daily driver commuter car! (Screw my next door neighbor and his stupid fleet of Morgans!)

My Gundo hack really improved my .1. I think the manufactures have real challenges with getting the right sound. They are so constrained my noise limit requirements in different countries and the smog gear smothering the sound etc. It must be hard to actually get an engine to sound good. I will say my wife's Boxster with the top down is a wonder to listen to... I love dipping my foot into that motor!!
Best,

My 997.1 with the PSE option, sounds very very nice...great growl...totally different sound...hollow growl maybe?
My 993 with the motorsound option, sounds incredible when you climb into the high RPM's...its addicting

I actually like to hear the sound of the motor rather than a sound that is predominately exhaust in nature. Although the exhaust sound is sweet at times esp. with burbles on downshifting and stuff.
