Excellence Was Expected is not just “a book”. It is pretty much the most holistic, definitive book on Porsche ever written. You should give it a go sometime.

Porsche engineers, along with other Porsche decision makers, actually do have the final say on everything about the car when it leaves their assembly line. It’s their product and, right or wrong, they make it as they see fit. A buyer can change it with aftermarket parts or a baseball bat to suit their personal taste, but they cannot affect the design and production process in any fashion other than indirectly with their future purchase decisions.

I agree that what sounds good inside a car is subjective and I can subjectively say that the Borla tried to drill a hole through my head from around 2,200 to 3,000 rpm. The Brombacher, designed externally much like the original single muffler, does not and it still wails all the way to redline.
