I have to say now that the weather is colder, and i installed the sharkwerks exhaust...starting up in my garage does bring a smile to my face, it only precedes the grin once i get the engine warmed up and take her to 8k

It does sound very nice cold with sharky unplugged. If I back it up to the fence close enough to the fence it ven starts echoing between the house and fence LOL.

At least the neighbors can hear where that cloud of blue smoke is coming from...

I was expecting something more spectacular from the video....

Yes, my RS sounds as good as yours, but louder inside due to less sound insulation.

Congrats and enjoy your GT3.

And so Tim, your manhood must be 2" longer as you have a RS. Well done.

I've been advised that unplugged mode reduces power output.

It would still be worth it, but it is only a bit less torque mid range, where you never are on track.
