[QUOTE=Stl-986;646874]In the center of the car, near the shifter is piece of electrical equipment that will have some dials & buttons. turn the dial that is on the left to the right some, this will cancel out the "noise"

Seriously though. the tips could be just tips and not an after market exhaust.

You wont ever notice a 5db difference. It's a convertible, it isn't made to be quiet. It's also a Porsche it's made to be driven and enjoyed not worried about 5db. There are too many factors that can make a different in ANY car for noise...tires, road quality, wind, rain, passing cars, rpm, etc.

If you think it's load now....put a couple bikes on a rack on the back of the car and then see how loud it is, worse with the top down.

Need to decide....do you want a sports car, a convertible sports car, something that can haul your gear & bikes or something quiet. Words quiet & convertible just dont go together. Quiet Porsche Convertible......will never go together.[/QU
