I have had my first porsche for only a few weeks now but from day one i have been unsure about the sound inside the cockpit and outside from the muffs. It is loud between 2000-3000RPM. Like annoying loud. Sounds great before 2K and after 3K. I was at the dealership paying my monthly dues and the parts guy noticed the muffler, said it looked funky (not original). I didn't follow up on his comment because i was distracted by a beauty in the showroom. Anyways i borrowed a digital recorder and have posted links to 2 wav files. If your speakers have good bass i think you will get the jist of what it sounds like inside. I don't think it's normal and i think i may have a crack somewhere or need to replace the exhaust. I will snap some photos and post them as well. Any advise?
