GTS: Is Sound Symposer always on when in Sport mode?

I have ordered the GTS and have heard a great deal of feedback about the Symposer - great sound, too much at times, wives hate it, etc. I also read that it is turned on and off with the Sport button. Since the Sport button also regulates PASM, PDCC, transmission and acceleration, I would like to know if I can somehow separate those functions from the Symposer - ie use the Sport button without the additional exhaust sound being piped into the A pillars.

If it is anything like my Panamera GTS, then the Symposer is off when the Sport Exhaust is off. Once again, if it is anything like my Pan GTS it really isnt that noticeable when it is on anyway. In the 991 it is like night and day difference when the Symposer is on, not so much in the PanGTS. Unfortunately my Cayenne Diesel doesn't have one!

I have the GTS. Sport exhaust is on when you hit the sport button. I don't think you can turn it off- at least as far as I have found. Definite difference in sound though! I too have wondered if there is a way to turn this off while keeping the other sport functions engaged.

setting remains in sport until you change it. The sound change is really not that dramatic til WOT. If you cruising around town the passengers will hardly notice. It is most noticeable outside the Cayenne.b You can turn off the sport sound/ shift mode at any time while driving.

i have the gts also (2010) and theres a slight increase in sound in sport mode with the windows up. with the windows down, youll hear a bit more rumble at low rpm. if you open up the throttle, i notice wives complain more about the white dotted lines blurring into a solid line, more so, than the any mention of increased noise...

The passengers I have in my car love the Sport mode. I should remember to also lock it in manual shift mode so that we can enjoy the WOT noise and not be going at paralegal speeds because this pig really hauls when you floor it.

I have a my 13 GTS Cayenne. Love it. You select a lowered sport suspension separately from sport mode that increases exhaust sound and shift mode. You must select sport mode each time you start the car but the suspension

PASM (comfort, normal, sport) are only and ONLY for suspension. Nothing else is adjusted but the suspension.
If you press the SPORT button (on top of PSM button) that's what activates the sport exhaust and readjusts the transmission and the throttle.
And to answer the OP question...not much to do, except bypassing the exhaust system and leave the valves open at all time.
So basically you will have sport exhaust on all the time, no matter what other setting you select

Not sure I understood correctly, but if you are talking about sport from PASM, those settings have nothing to do with the sound.

Yep the lower suspension setting is labeled sport, Comfort/Normal/Sport as separate from the sport mode for sound and PDK ect
