The 718 GT4 is supposed to deliver on that.

.......... So it seems to me that (assuming particulate filters do impact sound negatively in the Porsche implementation) solving that problem will be the same as the cat problem. Plenty of vendors supply race headers. Depending on where you live (especially in the US) it may be more or less difficult to deal with the local emissions regulations. So I can't see how anyone would be screwed..............
This is a very technical presentation on the topic of particulate filter implementations: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/fi...12_bischof.pdf

I basically don't give a flying rats *** what the new GT4 sounds like...it's usually just for others' outside or behind the car. 
Just please make the announcement ASAP Porsche, so I can get my hands on the order specs......

Good info, sonorous. Thanks. As you pointed out, fixing the sound issue, if there is an issue, could be locale-dependent. I would say in states like California it'll be screwy! I expect to move back to California at some point. So, this is a concern to me. Let's see how things turn out.

If this info turns out to be accurate, validates my theory about sandbagging. You did mention this before; but, most of the prototypes sounded anything but. So, I'm guessing the best is yet to come! Even with stringent Euro 4 regs, couple of motorcycle models (RSV4 and R1) managed to retain the good sound, in stock form. So, there is a good chance that Porsche will pull off this coup! If they really thought 981 GT4/Spyder needed improvement, I'll take my hat off, bow and say, "let'er rip"! Of course, anything can be improved. So, let's go from good to great![/QUOTE]
I’m sure Porsche thinks the GT designation for the Boxters and Caymans is Gelded Thoroughbreds.

I just hope they have the memo on 3rd gear. Unsettling that 718s are showing up more and more with these failures.

I'm no hater, but that is exactly what I thought when I heard that car - turbo 4. Has anyone who watched that video thought that that car was NA?
