My friend has a 99 996 and it sounds just a little louder than my S. I test drove other 996 that has a "meaner" sound, but I think they have aftermarket exhaust in them. I just installed a Borla Exhaust in my S and it's now it sounds "Nastier"r than any 996 including GT3 that I've heard or drove.

I'll post some video/sound files when I get a chance to record it.
