Default Intro Thread-New to me 13 GTS

Coming back into the Pcar fold. Had an 05 Cayenne S and an 05 911. This is new to me 13 GTS which I picked up last Friday. Came from a 16 Ram Rebel pick up.
Looking forward to learning more (have read the first 200 pages on this forum. No PDCC but otherwise exactly what I wanted. CF trim, red stitching and belts and tow package.
Looking for a Secondary cat bypass that isn't $1000 if anyone sees a good deal please pass it on.

Oh and the exhaust is entirely too quiet. I run Sport mode but I can't hear it unless the windows are open. Got my christmas tree last night and had the tail gate open and it sounded awesome but without the rear hatch open I can't hear it. Any ideas outside of the secondary cat bypass. Lastly the no editing on your own posts is relatively new and it sucks

Congrats on the GTS! Looks like yours has great options. I purposely sought out the carbon trim in my '13 - The Carbon looks nice against the black interior and red stitching!
Regarding the sport exhaust volume, I find mine to be in the "sweet spot" during light cruise and at WOT. You might check if the "sound symposers" that routes engine sound from the airboxes into the cabin via the A-pillars, are functioning properly. They get activated via vacuum under hard acceleration. By design, the Cayenne's cabin will be much quieter than a typical Chebby, Ford, or Dodge truck interior.

Cheers!

How can I tell if the symposers are working. Think they are supposed to come on when I hit the sport button but it doesn't sound any different inside the cabin.
