This is truely a first for me. I have been following boxster boards for the last 2 1/2 years and the only time you see anything about noise (exhaust and intake sounds) is how to increase them. I believe we all feel as if this is part of the fun. Porsche spends a lot of time and money getting it this way. The S if anything should be a little louder than the base model is. The HP increase over last years S was achieved by enlarging the intake and exhaust thusly allowing the engine to breathe easier. Will the S, with more HP, allow you to "feather" the car. I don't think this is necessary the base model with 240 HP will provide ample power to go easy. Keep in mind you are driving a roadster and they are inherently louder.
