Sports exhaust 2 vs 4
I am torn between the original 4 track exhaust and the new 2 track sports exhaust.
The new 2 tube sports exhaust looks fresh and new but somewhat reminds me of cayman or the mini cooper coupe.
The old 4 tube exhaust looks good as always and makes the rear appear stable and powerful, but don't distinguish from 911.1 and is starting to get a little bit... old.
What do you like better? Go for the new, lightweight fresh exhaust? Or the old powerful looking original exhaust?

Who cares about looks. The sound alone is worth it. Are you even serious?
What good are 4 tips when you're driving in a quiet car?? Especially in a .2 non PSE car.
Want 4 tips and PSE, get a 991.1 GTS. Best of all worlds.

The real question is do you want PSE or not. Answer that first....and is that more important than the look of the 4 pipes. The answer to me is simple. Get the PSE with two pipes.

Actually I have test driven the new car on 3 separate occasions and concluded that I do not need the pop corn popping sound that the PSE produces. When considered without that character, PSE has little difference compared to the non PSE except for a bit louder, a bit coarse note.
In fact I did not opt for sport exhaust on my last 981 Boxster; it was too much and too eye drawing in city situation like here in Seoul.
And I happen to be driving an F-Type right now, and while I can enjoy the massive exhaust volume and the exaggerating pop corn sounds, I can definitely live without them and just be satisfied with the engine intake sounds that porsche is famous for.
And thus my deep headace;
Sound-wise both fine,
The looks of the rear, rather more important!

Get the non-PSE 4 tip exhaust.
It's funny when guys ask questions when they basically already have their mind made up only to defend their choice. Must be a psychological thing
That's why I'm out of here now. Same goes with the should I get a manual/PDK? 997/991? Etc ..

Didn't you answer your own question then??

My mind is not made up
Maybe I should rephrase my question:
Does the 4 tip look nicer than the 2 tip sports exhaust?
without considering the exhaust sound, from just pure aesthetical point?

The center ones aren't quite centered enough like the GT3, and the size of the chrome tips look off balanced.
