" "sounds more like a sewing machine" "Isn't that the classic 964 sound?" "

I've never heard a stock 964 sound as pathetic as a Boxster

I had a 964 street/track car and with a "simple" bypass pipe, it was one of the best sounding 911's around, not necessarily my opinion, but the opinion of many who complimented me on how good it sounded. Under normal driving you didn't know it had been changed, under throttle it had a great tone.

The Boxster top is mostly down with about 8,000 NH miles this summer.

You can never convince me that the Boxster or 996 for that matter sounds like a Porsche, more like my Dad's Buick.

This isn't to say that the Boxster isn't a good car, it is great. It just needs to sound like a Porsche without spending thousands of dollars.
